Gen 5 Camaro Side Markers by JEBariffic

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Front and rear side markers for gen 5 camaro. You'll need:
Two sets of prints, front and rear. One as is, one set rotated on Y axis. ABS recommended.
17 5mm red LEDs for each rear marker. (I used: https://goo.gl/ypBqIt )
4 150ohm resistors
2 220ohm resistors
15 5mm orange LEDs for each front marker. ( https://goo.gl/SysBpN )
3 100ohm resistors
Epoxy ( https://goo.gl/TGuacR )
Soldering and wiring equipment / supplies
Files ( https://goo.gl/WrM1D6 )
Pins (I cut some off of voltage regulators: https://goo.gl/D7pyPF )
Hot glue gun
3M Tape ( https://goo.gl/5nxyFA )
Optional: small brush to apply epoxy ( https://goo.gl/MY4XmA )
Steps:
Print two sets of each STL. Rotate the second of each on the Y axis.
File out LED holes and push LEDs in
Optional: Paint markers (I used Krylon outdoor furniture paint)
--- Front markers will be soldered as three groups of five LEDs in serial with 100 ohm resistor.
--- Rear markers will be soldered as two groups of six LEDs with 150 ohm resistor and one group of five with 220 ohm resistor also in serial.
--- Place LEDs so that you can bend and connect the positive / negative leads down and together, then solder. See picture.
--- Solder the first positive lead of the series to the appropriate resistor, the resistor to lead wire. The final negative of the series solder to a lead wire.
Apply hot glue to keep resistors and leads from touching LEDs
Run lead wires thru holes in covers, use epoxy to bond covers to marker. Allow to sit for at least one hour.
Solder pins onto leads. You'll want positive leads to one pin and negative leads to one pin.
Remove factory makers. Clean area. Apply tape to opening and remove backing.
Connect pins to harness. Turn on aux lights and make sure markers light. If not, switch around pins.
Fill in hole in back of marker with hot glue. Cover harness and leads with hot glue. Allow to cool.
Press in makers into position and hold for ~ a minute.
