LED washer jet problem

[Gazza14SR]

One light is brighter than the other.

I have clean the connectors and rewired them but theres no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks

disconnect them

and leave them disconnected

will look much better !

lmfao you took the words out of my mouth!

[Gazza14SR]

so i take it no one likes'm then!

The only reason i put them on was cuz i have a red neon under my bonnet vent, one behind my meshed bumper and an underground kit all in red.

So you think i should leave'em off??

[Ben (lurk75)]

Its your car, if you think they fit in with it, leave them on.

At least there Red and not blue, get a multi meter and check you get the same current going to both jets, then see what happens as you might just have one duff one.

neons? led washer jets? errrm put them in the bin :D look much better

[Gazza14SR]

no thanks mmollart. If you saw them at night you would understand why i have them.

If i took photos at night without a flash with them on would they come out? anyone tried this?

They are personal touches and i like'm, other people I see say they wish they had some anyways.

:?: Might ditch the washer jets lights :?:

Its your car and only you can decide what you like or not, when i saw it last week, i though it was tidy enough, i wasnt OMG look at the state of this, i thought it all fitted in well with each other, obviously thats the way you like it and thats why you done it.

did u wire them parallel or series?

could just be a duff LED

[Stuart]

make sure they are wired in parallel and not series.

[Gazza14SR]

could someone plz explain the best way to wire them plz?

Thanks

[Stuart]

i jsut did :p


parallel you have the same leads going to both lights, erm like the rungs on a ladder, youve got main bits either side, thats how the wireing should be.

more max power inspired cack :evil:

[Aragorn]

this prolly isnt a paralell series issue

if it was they'd both be dim since they'd both get 6v rather than 12 (assuming they were the same resistance)

could be a duff set of LED's try wiring one at a time and see if they are any better...

if so the only thing it could be is that they are in series (ie wrong) but for what ever reason they have different resistances (which they shouldnt - but u never know) which would mean say one gets 4v and the other 8v

[Stuart]

but dont forget that if they are in series the second oen will get less voltage due to the 2Volt (lets say) drop after the first one.

erm that should make sense lol

[Aragorn]

in a series circuit the current is a constant

this means the voltage thru the components is DIRECTLY relative to the resistance

V=I/R

if both LED's have the same resistance (which they should) they will get the same voltage

:wink:

[dathers]

TAKE THEM OFF AND DONT BE SO SAD!!!

[rhumphris]

Try checking the resistance across the LED's one at a time with a multimeter, they should be about the same

[Stuart]

you need a special multimeter to measure resistance accros a diode.


just wire them in parrallel and be done with it

[jatinder]

erm carefully check all the wiring,



trace all the wires





gather them together then





pull really hard






and they should fall out then got and chuck them in the bin



If not it must be a dogy one really, change them or try and return them

[privatepie]

disconnect them

and leave them disconnected

will look much better !


lmfao you took the words out of my mouth!

same here

whos bin whatching 2f2f then ???????????????? :D :D
