Porsche 986 Side Indicator Upgrade to sequential LED

Posted

One rainy day I didn’t have to much to do so i decided to convert my side markers on the 986 to sequential LED indicators.

I have provided a link to some video footage that shows the steps to make them.

Arduino Sketch

side_Indicators-attiny.ino

Parts you will need. Addressable RGB LED strip. Attiny85 12v to 5v converter Good plastic glue and silicon to close it up Black matt paint. I used water based paint.

To program ATtiny I used an Arduino MEGA however any Arduino will work or a avr usb programmer.

NOTES: 1. removing the side lights, check google there are tons of videos 2. cracking the indicator case. I used a small flat head screwdriver b between the lens and backing and tapped it using my palm until the case cracked, then I slowly followed it around.
