The proposed circuit of a modified car head lamp fader, “breather” circuit generates a slow flashing effect over the head lamps every time the lamps are switched OFF. The “breathing effect” continues for a certain predetermined period after which the process automatically shuts off. The circuit was requested by Mr. Ray. Technical Specifications I just wanted to say that […]

Car Turn Signal Flasher Circuit with Lamp Malfunction Indicator
In this post I have explained an automotive/car turn signal indicator circuit idea with a built-in load malfunction indicator, meaning an additional LED lamp fitted on the dashboard which would warn if any of the side indicators went bad or fused. The idea was researched and requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. The Circuit Concept I have found a transistor-based flasher including a […]
Sequential Bar Graph Turn Light Indicator Circuit for Car
The article illustrates a simple yet innovative, fancy car turn signal light circuit which produces a rising bar graph sequence effect when switched ON. The circuit idea was requested by Mr. +Bruce Lowry. I have explained more. Technical Specifications I am after a circuit design similar to the LED Bar Graph circuit that is found […]
3 Interesting DRL (Day Time Running Light) Circuits for Your Car
DRL or Day Time Running Lights are a chain of bright lights mostly LEDs installed just under a vehicle’s headlight, which illuminate automatically during day time to ensure that others can distinctly notice the vehicle approaching even from a distance. The following customized DRL circuit was requested by Mr. Jivesh Technical Specification as Provided by […]
Electronic 12V DC Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuits
In the following post I have explained a simple yet enhanced 12V capacitive discharge ignition system which derives its operating voltage from the battery instead of the alternator for generating the igniting sparks. Since it works independently from the alternator voltage, without depending on a pickup coil signal, it is able to function more efficiently […]
LED Tail Ring Light Circuit for your Car
In the following post I have explained a fancy LED sequencing/diverging ring light circuit which can be used as a tail brake light in cars. The idea was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog, Mr. Bobby. I have explained more. Technical Specifications: Hello, I was just reading thru your wonderful article […]
