Front Tribar LED with Sequential Turn MOD! (new thread)

[John577]

Now your gif is more like what we can see in the video. The EU Driver seems to be very fast ...

Okay, seems like there really was an error in my gifs of the tribar comparison so the EU driver looked way slower than in the original video. Sorry about that. The problem was that I recreated the turn signal by using single frames and cut them together as a gif.

Now I directly used the video, so each frame is converted right into the turning sequence.

Now you can totally see, that's is way harder to see if each bar is lighting up seperatly

yes now it's like the video, really too fast for my taste.

Hm, I just found out that Diode Dynamics got the EU timing of the turn signal completly wrong.
The EU turn signal is slighty above 0,9 seconds for a complete cycle. Their video uses 1,1 seconds for a cycle.

So I timed both, US and EU driver on the 0,9+ seconds we get. This is how the tribar sequential turn lights will look like (press refresh once your browsed loaded the pics, so both pics will be synced!)

You can also see now how DD fixed the pwm problem they had with the turn signals. the third bar only had about 150ms to turn on with the us driver, with the EU driver it has about 250ms

With this final and correct comparison I don't think there's a big difference between the two - I actually think the EU driver is a bit nicer, it seems more "fluid" and you have a bit more time where all 3 bars are light up together

I still prefer the US version as the sequence is atleast visible, the EU not so imho.

Yeah if your eyes are blinking in the exact moment of the sequence you can think of a regualr on-off flashing

My DD Kit got shipped tonight. So if nothing unexpected happen I will have the new tribars installed by late August / early September

Thanks a lot for the feedback, really impatient to see the end result on your car :cheers:

Tribar Kit is already on the flight to Germany :cheers:

Installation will be done around mid-august through the known guy, so if everything goes in time i will have them running in late August / early September

Seems we have something new coming on the market, it's really too like christmas with the multicolor, but I like the look of the sequential turn

The sequence looks cool indeed!

Incase someone missed this UK thread, Tri-Bar & Sequentials might be coming from the UK soon... Cheers!

Cool but as John said, Christmas here is in December only, not the whole year.

Re: the UK thread, good luck I'm really happy to done my mod months ago, but will follow to see if some other company will comes out with a decent solution.

It's really an overkill with the animated tribars.

Can't wait to finally see how the new DD Kit works, only a matter of weeks

Thanks very much for putting this together!

Looking forward to seeing the first ones installed directly. We can definitely make another tweak to if it there's enough consensus, but I think the results right now will be pretty good!

Thanks!

@Diode Dynamics : As long as it's not running into the PWM problem with the sequential turn lights like the multicolor version did, I will be happy

If the kit hopefully arrives this week, I will test them this weekend. I will share a couple of videos and pics

 

[Ace]

It has finally arrived :cheers:

Hopefully I will have a change to test the tribar functions this weekends. Next week my Headlights will take their trip to the installer :cheers:
