Afternoon All,
I had a friend who works in the LED automotive lighting industry look this over. He is going to take my lights and design a new PCB that will swap into the headlights with minimal effort. He was impressed to see that Subaru uses Rebel 1W LEDs in this car... apparently most of the automotive industry does not go for quality and longevity in the electronic department (BMW tech even mentioned to him that they "only need these parts to last for 3 years"
) and he liked the design, but thought that it could easily be improved (resistor-diode isn't an effective solution).
As he finishes the designs in his free time he may be interested in testing and selling for those of you who who are less savvy!
If anyone has a broken headlight or knows where to find them cheap, this may even speed of the process, as he can't start work until I get him a headlight. I plan to send him mine, but will need to find a time to switch out my vehicle for the truck.
