Default Turn Signal Vent Mod

ive seen the turn signals in the side vents and i really like it, my question is would it be possible to stick a neon in there and wire it up or even just a neon to come on when the headlights are on?...i would most likely use a white neon...

Sure that would be easy enough. I used turn signals so they have a nice diffused and full illumination. Just a neon tube would sort of just highlight the empty area unless its a wide tube or you put a diffractor infront or behind it. You will be able to easily find a place to take off power (if they are low amperage) or to use a relay.

Wow, that looks awesome. I wouldn't recommend neons though, they don't last long being pulsed like that, unless you went with LED neons. Great lookin mod though.

Chris

where did you wire in your new relay and the flasher unit?

also, do your signal vent lights stay on when you are not turning?

Hi all,
sorry for not seeing the post. Feel free to email me direct with questions.
1. The smoke in the video is some air I was blowing to make the effect, it was winter and like 0 degrees outside, so the exhaust and my breath were visible.
2. I needed 2 relays for the flashers, and one for the DRLs. So yes, they are on all the time and are lit exactly the same as the front turns/DRLs. I had to (in simple terms) make a T tap into each left and right turn signal wire, then ran that to the relay (switched, not power of course).
3. Up on my site, I have directions written out (the main ideas mostly) and diagrams of how to wire in the relays and lights. It's a bunch of reading, but you need to know what's going on before you start blowing fuses :-)

Ciao, Chris

Not to be rude or anything... but "your" main website has nothing to do with your mod. It's talk's about jackass Kerry and Michael Moore's lies. How about getting rid of that crap and show us your mod for the TA.
