I actually made this a few years ago but haven't taken much pictures. I had the chance to take some updated ones the other day so here they are.
Uses the typical 35W bulb/ballast combo used for cars. For power, I used 18pcs of Sony 18650 Li-ion cells but those didn't last long so now I'm using four 3.2V 15,000mAh Li-FePO4 cells in a custom battery pack.
Burn time with the new cells is about 5hrs continuous.
This is the old setup with the 18650 cells:
New setup with the LiFePO4 battery pack and LED tail/brake light (the garage lights are actually turned on in these shots)
power analyzer so I know how much battery life is left.
