Great. The values sound pretty standard. I wonder if that single 150 Ohm is getting pretty hot. Probably you have already used a beefy resistor.

Normally, I use 100 with 4 LEDs, but due to size constraints used 3. Since usage ain't continuous, it should work fine. FZ tail lamp is always ON in park mode, no damage since [angel]

LH wiper starts peeling up.

2019-07-28 15-59-53.jpg
2019-07-28 16-01-17.jpg


Replaced with the same. Minda Soft Wiper Blade 12"
MRP ₹ 170.00. Got for ₹ 150.00.

Repainted wiper arms.

2019-07-28 16-32-15.jpg


New dome light LEDs.

2019-07-28 15-38-24.jpg


Mark caused by hanging softies.

2019-07-28 15-39-47.jpg


Old 0.5 W setup, which wasn't bright enough for the power consumption. Also had that violet hue, which I hated.

2019-07-28 15-38-31.jpg


Replaced with new gen SMD 0.5W leftover from an old project. 0.5 x 9 = 4.5 W.

2019-07-21 17-09-07.jpg
2019-10-20 13-06-00.jpg


Bright enough.

2019-10-19 22-54-01.jpg
2019-07-28 19-35-57.jpg


Number plate lights replaced as well. They were 6 SMD each of 0.2 W per side, which conked off over time. Replaced with 0.5 W as well.

2019-07-28 13-08-36.jpg


Super bright. Would increase resistance value to dim it a bit.

This is one of the main reason why I stopped using Minda wipers blades. I didn't had similar issue with any other brands. Once, even within a month the new set of blades started peeling away. [frustration]

Check date. More than a year old peels off. Only this one peeled off. Rest all doing fine. This was 2016 make bought in 2018.

How long did the old blades last bro ? @deville_56
Almost a year. Driver side still the same.

August 2020 - Tachometer Backlit Replacement

Seven years since the install and red backlit started failing one by one. Recap > Tacho Install on Estilo.

Pulled out the tacho.

2019-08-05 10-50-43.jpg


How I stuck the scavenged LED strip over stock LEDs.

2012-05-10 16-08-38.JPG


Stock amber LEDs.

2019-08-05 11-09-56.jpg
2019-08-05 11-15-31.jpg


New LED strip to scavenge LEDs.

2019-08-05 11-17-47.jpg


Removed stock amber.

2019-08-05 11-38-20.JPG


Generation gap. Same type LEDs. Half or one third thick. More lens surface area as well.

2019-08-05 11-43-17.JPG


Soldered in place instead of previous jugaad.

2019-08-05 11-46-05.JPG


Done and tested.

2019-08-05 11-59-51.JPG


Ready for reassembly.

2019-08-05 12-17-21.JPG


Wires glued in.

2019-08-05 13-12-07.JPG


Board installed back.

2019-08-05 13-12-44.JPG


Then the cup and screws.
2019-08-05 13-13-08.JPG


Dial.

2019-08-05 13-14-54.JPG


Base.

2019-08-05 13-17-26.JPG
2019-08-05 13-18-30.JPG


3M tapes for the job.

2019-08-05 13-26-58.JPG


Glass and frames.

2019-08-05 13-19-53.JPG


Needle. Don't install them without getting it to proper 0.

2019-08-05 13-21-17.JPG


Wire up.

2019-08-05 13-22-39.jpg


Turn on the ignition and then off and it will rest in proper 0 and then install the needle.

2019-08-05 13-25-25.jpg


Fit the frame,

2019-08-05 13-28-27.jpg


the glass,

2019-08-05 13-28-46.jpg


and finally the outer cover.

2019-08-05 13-29-06.jpg


Fix it and voila. Done.

Super awesome. Since last year I had been thinking of Changing my Safari Default Meter Lights (Which are White and barely visible at dusk) to something like Amber or red. Not sure when I will gather my lazy self.

sharing even battery,

2019-10-20 11-08-27.jpg


and **** happened. A bus changed lane without warning during heavy rain and knocked down a bike waiting to take U-turn. No human injuries, but had to repair the bike. Sustained damage to both doors, the rear quarter glass and rear fender. Tail lamp just missed.

Still used for unavoidable circumstances with these damages for a month due to vitamin M issues. Wind noise inside was unbearable. It was like blasting and gradually the quarter glass started disintegrating more. It was actually fully shattered and held on by the old window tint.
