...
Coloured LEDs claim 120° visibility range.
How far into the vehicle should the lights be?
Air space in light needed?
If yes, will need to be set further into the vehicle
Heat sink?
MSXIV reported lights heating up pretty quickly when run
Upwards and downward angle regulations are pretty small, will really only need to worry about the sidewards angle being blocked by car
If using strip, may not be issue?
Will there be reflectors inside the light fixture?
Metallic reflectors, or matte white reflectors?
Reference seems to be using a letter size piece of paper
Transmittance of light cover - Can’t be too murky or more space will be needed to double up on LEDs
Cover needs to be a certain size
Very small protrusion would impact aerodynamics more than larger, rounded protrusion?
Fact check me here!
