Thanks for the reply. There appear to be some that like it and others that dont and that is okay. This might appeal to the "ricer" crowd, as a flashy add-on, yet there are certain safety aspects of this kit that appeal to all car drivers in general.

Here's a couple of ideas for a new kit. Why not make something that would illuminate the headlight controls on the TA when the ignition is on?

I know it used to bother me that I would crank up the engine and then have to fumble around for the switch to turn the lights on.

I fixed mine by making the **** light up, but that was a lot more work than what you could make a kit out of.

Another idea would be an auto headlight kit for the TA's. I did this myself by adding a camaro light sensor to the stock dash hole and then adding a toggle so I could turn the autoheadlights on or off if I wanted.

Yes, it will be cheap, less than the window fix!

Autoheadlights seemed like a danger, the possible chance the headlamps slam up while I am on the highway, or they are frozen. Either way the motor gets canned!
Cool feedback, thanks!

Just to let folks know, the Canadian TA's have the Autoheadlights functional, while they were disconnected for US cars. I think it had something to do with Canadian law and lowlight visabilty yada, yada.

Are you guys mainly looking for electrical gadgets you can make?

Okay, okay....over much debate we have allowed the front kit to blink in unison!!
The front kit will wire in and only blink the marker light when the headlights are on (night time only).
If the product looks sparks any interest at all....then trust me, the price will not scare anybody away!

Kudos on the unison.

I know for a FACT that if I had that sucker on my car in Austin I would be pulled over for it.

Those guys don't give a SH$T if you don't use your blink BUT OH MY GOSH HE HAS FLASHING LIGHTS ON HIS CAR!!!!

What are you talking about? The car is supposed to have flashing/blinking lights. I can't imagine any cop noticing or objecting.

Yeah most of the time I hear of people getting pulled over for having red or blue lights on their cars....but a cop is a cop and they can and will find a way to ticket you!

No the side marker flashing like the one in the pic. How the sides flash and not in unison to the front turn signals.

How can it come factory on other cars, but get ticketed on an F-body? I don't understand that.

Because its not stock, they have ricedar in Austin.

They ensure that it doesn't turn into Houston but it gets to be overkill sometimes.

I mean they try and get you for Silva (Silvana, whatever the brand is called) headlights because:

"They're blue, you have to have white headlights."

"I'll just give you a warning this time."

Oh yeah but they were smoking crack less than 25 feet from were I was standing just before you decided to pull me over. (true story)
