Aren't you afraid that the policeman will "kick your ass"?

Works, but not something i'd really be interested in

Personally I think it looks quite good, whether you would get away with it in the UK is another matter.

Maybe it would look better if somehow just the 'H' was illuminated from behind the same way that Wolseley cars had their badge illuminated many moons ago. The Wolseley badge top of the radiator was softley lit up....

Jeez, showing my age now !

Here's an automatic translation, done by software:

How to light up the "H":

1.jpg

Materials:

Wire blue (+) and chestnut (-) I took of 0,75 mm2 like section ..... Three leds white leds of 5mm 12.000 Mcd with resistor:

3.jpg 4.jpg

Some connectors like this:

5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg

Sheath thermo and insulating fabric

Tools

A soldering iron + solder:

9.jpg 10.jpg

A small drill with a bits of diam. 6 and diam. 5

11.jpg

+ flat screwdriver, cutter, grip with fine nozzle…. (small tools)



To start:

To prepare the leds (has to make Three times)

It is necessary to weld onto each leds (3) a resistance onto (+)

From memory it (+) onto a leds is the longest leg

Then a blue piece of wire on (+)
piece of maroon wire on (-)

12.jpg


Then place a sheath on to each leg for insulation.

13.jpg

Then to dismount the black mask has the front one, to remove the fasteners to pay great attention it are fragile, it is necessary to place a flat screwdriver of each coast of the fastener and to draw to the top gently by making light movement from left to right.

Then to dismount the mask of bulb headlight (me I chose coast accumulator) and to bore a hole in the centre of the aforementioned.

14.jpg

Then to carry out a piece of wire as on the photograph and to pass it in the hole

15.jpg


Then reference mark the leg (+) of the side-lights (light blue)

16.jpg

To place a connector on this wire and the end of the son to pass in the lid of the mask

17.jpg



Second stage:

Boring of the grille by the top:

PS: I have to replace the black mask to withdraw at the beginning, to trace his position on the grille, as that when I give it to the end, one does not see anything .......

For boring it is enough to go there all gently, I start with bored with the wick of 6 ONLY plastic, all into blowing to make leave the pieces of plastic. When plastic is bored, I change wick (5) and I bore the interior part (reflectors).

Small trick, if particle falls into the reflectors, I to use a very fine rigid sheath that I master keys in the hole to the particle, then I aspire gently to make it go up in the sheath to stuck on the end, I continuous has to aspire until the sheath that is to say any more in the reflectors and here I have to remove the plastic particle

Once borings carried out, I place the leds in each hole, which I clog with cement of plumbing (favours: it is waterproof, it is malleable, if ever a leds should be changed, that remains easily dismountable).

18.jpg

Then it is very simple, hardest is done .......

For the connexion the blue ones (+) on the blue son who comes from the mask that one made front

For chestnuts (-) I put them together and to place on a mass

19.jpg

ZOOM (detail connection leds on food)

20.jpg

Then one can of insulating fabric on the connector industries blue…. And one gives the black mask and the clips which it is enough to insert in the holes.

Finished result:
