DIY T10 LED light for Car (used on Hyundai Santro)

LED light is very popular for cars these days. There are different types of bulb sockets and wattage/lumens (light intensity) for different purpose. The common bulbs used are for dashboard/side turn indicators called T10 wedge bulbsFor front and rear turn indicators and stop light BA15S and BA 15D (Bayonet socket with single or double contact) bulbs are used. You can try eBay.in to check some deals available.

T10 wedge bulb being commonly used for motor cycles also, I decided to make one using a tri chip 5050 smd LED (3 LEDs in one package) of white light. You would also need a 100 ohm resistor to limit the current and voltage for the LED and a general purpose board or copper clad board piece. For the LED I have used smd 1206 resistances. I also used a IN4148 diode for ensuring right polarity. 



Finished product is a copper clad board with resistor and diode soldered and LED on the top side,

Also used this t10 bulb for Hyundai Santro's pilot light.
