To give the scooter a technological, aggressive and simply beautiful appearance, install an LED suspension on it. To do this, mount the LED strips at the pre-designated locations and connect them to the scooter's electrical system.
Necessary
Wide angle LEDs, 460 ohm resistors, heat shrink, wires, tool
Instructions
Step 1
Take a regular marker and draw lines on the bottom of the scooter along which the LEDs will be installed. Measure the length of each line and divide it by the number of LEDs you plan to install on it. Carefully mark the future LEDs with a core. Drill holes at these points. Work with a 4, 8 mm drill. Then sand the plastic to remove any burrs. To get the best effect, make a recess on the back of the plastic bottom on each hole with a 5, 7 mm drill. This is for the wide-angle LED to protrude outward, scattering the light over a full angle. If you do not make this hole, but simply break off the skirt of the LED, there will simply not be anything to attach it to. You can blunt the drill bit so it doesn't go into the plastic too quickly.
Step 2
Take the right number of LEDs, to each resistor with a resistance of about 460 ohms, heat shrink to insulate structures and wires. Solder a resistor to each LED by wrapping it in heat shrinkable material. The use of heat shrinking will allow not only insulating the contacts, but also protecting all connections from moisture, thereby significantly extending the life of the backlight. Do not confuse the positive and negative contacts in the LED, if you do this, it will simply fail. Install a 2.5 ampere fuse on the main wire so that the backlight does not blow out in case of something. Secure the entire system on the back of the bottom with ordinary double-sided tape. This may not be done, but then the wires and resistors will move freely and may simply break off.
Step 3
The backlight, after it is fully assembled and installed, connect to the power outlet of the dimensions. This can be done in any convenient way, up to the point that just wrap the wires with electrical tape. In order not to damage the LEDs by hitting the bottom against the road surface, install a regular car molding around them, sticking it to special glue.
