NA Miata MX-5 Sequential LED Turn Signals

thingiverse

I'm still perfecting this design, and there are some things that need tweaking. I'm open to any suggestions or constructive criticism, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I wanted cool LED sequential turn signals but didn't want to spend $200+ on a set. I also wanted to use my turn signals as intakes since I have the air filter behind the headlight. I found these Sequential LED strips on eBay that can be cut to any length you want. My design is basically just a housing and mounting solution for those LED strips. Please note that this may not be legal in most places, so please check your local regulations before installing. The running light is white, and the turn signal is amber that turns on sequentially. You can see it in action here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/comments/hlg1kq/i_made_these_3d_printed_siquential_turn_signals/ See the Instructions PDF for a basic installation guide and some tips. The LED turn signals will make the flasher relay hyperblink. To fix this, you can replace a resistor on the relay. I've linked the 1M resistors I used below, along with a write-up on how to do it: https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=335534 Here's what you'll need: * 4x Socket Head M4x12mm * 4x M4 Washers * 4x M4 Nuts (I used Nylon Lock Nuts so they don't loosen accidentally) * 2x Socket Head M5x16mm * 2x Fender Washers (Needs to be bigger than a normal washer since the mounting hole is large and to spread out the load. You can make one from sheet metal if needed.) * 2x M5 Nuts (Also Lock Nuts would be best) * Sequential LED Strips: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-LED-DRL-Daytime-Running-Lamp-Strip-Light-Sequential-Flowing-Turn-Signal/383174835261?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Ddff6cd897ce54454b5379f6997134026%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D292032282132%26itm%3D383174835261%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A2634cad0-be26-11ea-bd5b-74dbd18008f6%7Cparentrq%3A1b234b351730aa119c233dc2fff7b864%7Ciid%3A1 * 1M Ohm Resistors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0185FCM0W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Solder Connectors (These are easier than soldering): https://www.amazon.com/Kuject-Connectors-Waterproof-Electrical-Automotive/dp/B073RMRCC3/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=15KP77VGBQG5&dchild=1&keywords=solder+connectors+with+heat+shrink&qid=1593888262&sprefix=solder+con%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=ANYCM9RSLDH7Y&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzT043SDlESzdGRFJQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTkxODI2UkJRV0NTVUpLMjdaJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5Mzg1MDgyS05OQ1NGTUhOSU4xJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
