I have a Joal Komatsu WA900 that I'm doing up in slow time. I've been wanting to put some lights in the front headlights but theres not enough room for an LED bulb.
I managed to get some fiber optic strands in a bid to experiment so tonight I knocked up a crude mock up to see how it would work.
The photos are a bit grainy.
This is a rough headlight bar and unit made with some plastruct, aluminium tube and a bit of blue tack to hold it together.
Roughly put up against the model.
In the dark.
I hooked the optics to a small LED torch on my mobile. There isnt a lot of light coming out of the end but it works. That light could be packed with a lot more optic. I reckon with a bit of work It will work.
Anyone else tried this?
