Cateye 3 LED to 5 LED conversion

I know it's pretty obvious and easy, but I thought I'm make an instructable for it anyway. I upgraded the rear lights on my singlespeed and racer (both LD-130) as well as the front light on the racer (HL-130).

The PCB already has the circuitry for the two extra LEDs, they just aren't fitted. Ten minutes and the wave of a soldering iron later and they were.

That's weird, why sell it like that? Is there a 5-LED version on the market too? (and are the 5 brighter than the 3, or are they all a bit dim?)

It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

That's what I thought - I'm not aware of a 5LED version of that unit.

it's rrp is £13 just for the rear. i got my set of rear and front 3 LED versions for £15 new from halfrauds. as far as i can tell they all use 5000 mCd LEDs.

Aha. I see. Thanks. A useful Instructable (for folks less cackhanded than myself).
