Shad0z Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 would it be possible to replace the led strips in my gotway tesla with only red ones but they would have the same function, showing battery, spinning light, so what i need is red led strips that could be compatible, and when the mainboard gives power to the strip not only some parts of the red strip light up because the board only sends power to the red ones and since the strip is only red... so i need a red led strip that could replace the rainbow led strip and work the same way just only red this possible ? im eager to remove this "christmas theme lighting" but still have the spinning effect just in one color only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik's Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Don't think there are any real solutions to this problem since the colours are controlled by motherboard/controller. Not sure if some kind of color tint of filter would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad i have a whole closet filled with light filters for use with theatre lighting.. i will try that! i think it's the closest i can get it wouldn't make them all red but certainly if done correctly maybe tint them enough to be hard to notice they're not red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 There are many led supply stores, the problem is there are so many it would take a lot of time to find the right led light strip, with it's own controller that could be programmed to make the rotating pattern. Here is one link. https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/complete-led-strip-kits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Williams Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I saw a YouTube video yesterday of someone riding a Tesla at night and the lights were going between rainbow and all red scene to scene... check 4:48. I never use my LEDs so not sure what causes it to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Williams Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ahh I always press the on button three times, so I think mine just does the rear brake lights when slowing down and the constant rainbow fade on the top LEDs. Does look a bit weird pulsating away when you’re casually sat with it in a restaurant waiting to pick up take out food and people have no idea what it is. Did you get your mosfet fixed?

It stays red and does not rotate, plus near the top of the wheel it looks like one or two leds are not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot - that's an idea, since the LEDs are RGB, maybe you can cut the wire/pcb trace on the GB cath/anodes so the LEDs will only light when power is sent to the R(ed) channel.

Taiku Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I have successfully replaced my rainbow lights utilizing a Bluetooth led controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
