Default custom LED strobe kit. CAUTION: may cause seizure's!

well, i got a SHO-ME led flasher, basicly its a dual output, 5 or so pattern flasher.. so i basicly went nuts.. im strobeing alot of my already made led mods as well as some custom others... my fav was pulling off making my own 9005 led headlight bulb w/ 6 120 degree amber led's.. pops right in.. switch is from farm and fleet as it fits right in, and i used a white 120 degree led to show that its on, as well as a push button to change the modes.. kinda all ghetto crammed into my swich spot and scatterd in there but i was limited on room... oh, and yes i do know there is a burnt out led in the 3rd back up light.. what can i say? ebay crap

was tricky strobing the lights i use for parking/brake ect.. as they all needed to be diode isolated so that the switched +12V didnt flow back into the stock circuits, other than that, she went pretty smooth.. took alot of time, mainly running all the miles of wire but was fun.. this car is way too easy to take apart...

and the kit runs normal, it just strobes faster than my digi can recored it. so when its going physcho, it looks speratic.. but its dead on.. just frames per second issue..

Some trick pics of the headlamps. Must have had a time with the flash. What color are your underbody neon? Do you driv around with the brights on to show the LEDS?


You should silicone that body plug that you went thru or your carpet backing and sound deadening will get wet and mildew.

Underbody lights can be a great accent if that is all they are. Most out there today are running in overkill mode. It is like a French hooker with too much eye makeup.

Most underglows need ot stay on show cars only... the problem is that when a car isnt lowered to extremes or the kit isnt properly designed it has holes.

Meaning gaps between lights. The underglows were designed to give the car that "floating" or "nuclear reactor" style glow... like the entire underbody has a light source.

Get rid of the underglows and you're have a neat light setup for shows.

ROFL... never thought of it that way... it's more like the drunk ***** that has it smeared all over... not in the right spots.
