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 […]

Car Head Lamp Fader Circuit (Breathing Effect Generator)
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 […]
Darkness Activated Car Head Lamp Circuit with DRL
In this post I have explained a simple automatic darkness activated switch for car head lamps and the DRLs, initiated by the ignition triggers. The circuit helps to save battery power and prevents unnecessary wastage of energy. The idea was requested by Mr. Vladnemir. Technical Specifications I would like to build switch for driving car […]
Using Single Switch for Fog lamp and DRL Lamp
In this post I have explained an easy method of upgrading your existing car fog lamp switch such that it allows toggling both the fog lamp as well as the DRL lamps alternately, as per the owner’s requirement. The idea was requested by mk karthick. Circuit Objectives Am looking for a circuit which is directly connected […]
Lamp Outage Detector Circuit for Car Turn Signal
The O.E.M. turn signal flashing units installed in automobiles have two basic functions i.e. Flasher and Lamp outage detection. These flashers are usually built with an 8-pin IC like U2044B, U6432B etc. which are specifically made for automotive flashers. Designed and Written By Abu-Hafss Circuit Operation NORMAL OPERATION: -input = Square wave between 11.89V – […]
LED Lamp Circuit for Motorbike Headlamp
In this post I have explained a simple 21 watt LED lamp circuit module which can be used as a direct replacement for a standard halogen lamp used in motorcycles headlamp. LED vs Halogen Lamp The proposed “halogen” LED lamp replacement module image can be seen below: Conventional filament type halogen lamp is shown below: […]
