Knight Rider HUMMER KITT lights - 2.0 - Page 2

The lower grill would look better since it will be a perfect fit.

Actually it was a Semi-Truck named KARR.  

But THEN, KARR somehow blew up in a head-on collision with KITT (Don't ask me how).  Later on somehow KARR came back as a replica of KITT.  Or, something like that :) 

The new re-make in 2000 had a Dodge Stealth that was transformed into the new KITT.  That one was SWEET!

 
WOW...you are amazing..howda hell do you remember all that?!?!
 
Iyou would be proud of me....I had the KITT steering wheel in my trans am...it SUCKED when making big turns...but looked cool as hell!! I have to look for the picture.

I actually looked all the clips up this morning on YouTube   You swear I remember a show I watched when I was 8. 
 
Now Airwolf, well, that was neck and neck with Knight Rider.

So, I was going to take pictures of the process, but decided what the hell, I'll video tape it.
 
I'll have the 2 parts uploaded soon.  It's going to take a while to convert from this vid camera.
 
It's about 14 minutes long, so I'll split it into two parts.
 
Should be up this afternoon sometime

Videos removed

Mike, you are the only person that I know that could possibly make watching a video about removing a grill amusing
 
I swear, I thought you were going to go through the garage door when you were backing up.

Who said I was trying to be funny?

you are a very very strange man   

I wasn't going to get it working today, but screw it.  I'm going to finish the job and just add the sound module later in the week.

anxiously awaiting the "light show"

I'm working on it now.  I ran terminated leads from the positive and negative wires off the auxilary brake control harness under the dash.  Now I'm just looking up that ignition wiring diagram ImportKiller posted so I can tap that for a relay trigger for some other stuff.
 
I figure I should just get the dirty work done now considering in 7 hours it's supposed to go from 26 degrees down to -7, literally.  I'm running against the clock.

And JUST in case there is any confusion out there, I AM just acting like a goofball.  That's not how I really am   and I DO know how to use a real drill.
 
I just thought I'd try to make some people laugh.

Acting like a goofball??? Sorry Mike, but there are a few here that you know you well enough to know your not really acting
 
Good videos Mike.... Did you use LED's Or are they those red lens clearance lights? If you used LEDS you could wire them to so that they scan when the truck is off and the doors are locked...kind of like an alarm scanner. Won't kill the battery either, You can leave an led strip run for a few weeks with near zero battery drain. That would look awesome

Yup they are LEDs but with red lenses.  I took one of the lenses off to check it out.  It looks freakin awesome. I'm working on getting the video up now.  I'm amazed what a difference mounting them down there made.  I should have it ready shortly.

Here we go.  I must say, I'm very proud of myself

I can't WAIT to get the sound going.

That's looks alot better down there! You need to change your plates to KITT

Apparently, somebody must have read this in IL and tried to get it, because as soon as I posted this, it became unavailable
 
Luckily, the poor schmuck must have had a bad credit card number or something, so thanks to a little patience from me, I got it
 
I know will have the only plates in the state that say KITT, and ironically, they will be Route 66 plates.
 
 

KITT would be very fitting for your h3...it's exactly what the dealership tells you once a week..
We need to

BTW...nice!!! Looks great brudda!

Thanks for the compliments.  I honestly didn't think you'd care for it too much.  I thought it was only a Knight Rider geek thing.  The scanning affect looks really good behind that grill.  The grill masks the separation between the LED lenses, so it looks almost like the original did.
 
I hopefully will have the sound affects going by mid-next week.  All of the wiring is already there to plug-and-play.
 
I just have to find a CD Quality sample of the scanning effect so I can dump it onto the chip.

come on now...KEEP IT TILL TOMORROW...I get nothing for that....DAMN... tough room!!!!
 
Anyway...were you saying that you didn't think I would care too much for it? You do remember that I am the admin on the Streetglow message board right? I have like $1500 in LED's, neons, neon projectors and strobes sitting in my shop waiting to get installed on the import  I need to take a picture of all the boxes stacked up...it's kinda funny. My wife calls it my mid life crisis car

That's what my wife calls my HUMMER!! I told her, it's NOT A CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE WITH A 19 YEAR OLD BIMBO IN IT!!!! Not yet!!!

Mike!!! Thanks for the VIDEOS!!! You made my evening!!!! Priceless!!!

Very good Mike!  A little concerning..................but very good!

Thanks, I think
 
The Evo you have is an awesome car.  You can't deny it's fun to drive.  I wouldn't call it a mid-life crisis. Call it "my happy place" and tell her it used to be the bedroom but now adays that isn't cutting it
 
Either she'll give you long time love GI Joe or she'll kick you out.  Either way, you get to keep the car!  You can't loose!
