Default My next project......

Since I will pretty much be done with the interior this weekend, and the exterior is pretty much done, my next project is to install K.I.T.T. lights in my grill. This is probably not going to be easy, but since I can buy the controller for it, or custom make it using schematics, it shouldn't be too hard. So, if ANYBODY knows where I can buy big red square LED lights (or ones that use regular bulbs) let me know! Thanks

you might want to check your local laws... I'm pretty sure that you're not allowed to have any red or blue flashing lights when your vehicle is in motion because it looks too much like the police/firemen

Yeah I didn't think about that. I'll have to put a switch in there for it. I think alot of officers would appreciate it a little bit though

Dude you rock!!!

You might consider LEDs accent lighting. Putting them under the rocker panels or step bars. Having them come when you unlock or open ther doors. Practical to make sure you're not stepping into mud getting in and out. Add some inside to help the poor placement of the reading/map light. Even putting some under the fake air intakes, behind the grill, or behind the spare tire. Lots of options. More 21st century.
