I post a video Re: MG L.E.D. tail lights and discuss them a bit here:




One of the last things I tried was to place a set of sunglasses over the Camera lens. It worked! The distortion level to the camera dropped. If that gives an idea of how bright they are, just watch the last 15 seconds of the video for this effect.

The trip to Watkins Glen was a real blast and fulfilled a long time desire to drive on the track!

Side by side Comparisons of the New L.E.D. tail light assemblies vs. the standard MGB tail lights. If you watched and made it through the technical video we post, you'll enjoy this one. The best way to put it is Night and DAY!





For anyone asking Why would you want the upgrade? So you can be seen and avoid the $$$ damage to the rear end of your car!!

I showed these to my Mom and the next day (Yesterday!) she had someone hit the rear of her car and run. If she would have only had something like these in her car, chances are much greater that this would Not have happened.

I am sick of my crappy attempts at in-car videos so I lashed out ab little and I got myself a PoV1.5 kit.

I will give me some slightly more acceptable results like this (but maybe not quite as fast):

And my first attempt with my very own PoV1.5 camera.

I tried uploading to VIMEO to be able to upload a higher quality video (because the quality of the video the camera outputs is very good and I hate losing that quality on YouTube), but something wacky seems to have happened with this one.

Let me know if it is just me or do you, too, see all the blocky, black artifact rubbish? It isn't in the original video I uploaded.

My first test run of the POV1.5 - a little drive around my suburb (as my note on the video says, the camera wasn't firmly mounted for this test).





EDIT: I replaced it with a lower quality video - I might have to play with this stuff a bit more smiling smiley

This was shot about a week ago, we just took out the falling apart muffler and put in a new exhaust. About the third time on the road since 1986.

Looks better embedded - thanks for that. I will do that in future!

OK, another attempt at the new camera (maybe I positioned the camera a little low, it makes me feel like a little kid, straining to look over the dashboard, as I watch this).

A little drive through the Hills just outside of Adelaide, South Australia - it was a lovely day for a topless drive!

How do you imbed a youtube video into your posts? I cut and pasted the embed code for one and when I hit "Preview" only the string of code displayed.

I deleted the old link to our MGB walkaround video. I started a second you tube account but it was dumb to have two so I deleted the second one. You can find the walk around video here:

A better test of the in-car camera - can't wait to get it on the track (as I say in the comments on the vide, pardon the revs... they were done for a reason :-)

OK, posted elsewhere - the reason will become apparent when you watch it.

Just the same in-car camera taken on a little drive up the hill out of Adelaide (South Australia). It was to be the start of a cruise into the hills and then a bit of a blast down some of my favourite twisty roads, but we barely made it up the hill.

I could have driven her home with no clutch but the noises she was making sounded like it was going to do her more harm - so I got a lovely lift home in the cab of a flatbed tow truck.

Enjoy (the annotations from 2:40 on the video tell the story). It really was a lovely afternoon for a drive....
