First, if this is a repost, I apologize, I did try to search for it, but could not find it.
Anyway, as far as how things go, this video has a decent cool factor, even though I could never do it. But just for $hits and giggles, anyone ever do this before?

That is awesome. If anyone knows how it is done, please let me know. I WANT IT!!!

 

Well I did a bit more searching, and I found this....

which is very similar. I figure from this DIY guide, you can do a mock-up of the Knight Rider thing. Good luck man.

 

Yeah Ive seen that post. ^^It looks really cheap. I want the knight rider theme tail light though. Does anyone know where to find this?

 

Hey Rabid. Can you edit the title of this post, so more people see it. I would suggest knight rider 3rd tail light or some thing like that??? I would love to do this to my car. Thanks!

 

Ooh Knight Rider tC cool!! Record your own voice for the voice too.

 

Sure no problem.

 

Hey man, thanks. That is real nice of you. I hope someone knows how to do this.

 

I found something.

knight rider goes from side to side with one light beam/trail all the way across the led, everyone knows that

 

Yep, but this led embodies the spirit of Knight Rider. Not identical, but fairly close

 

I dunno im not a fan of it doin all that crap on the brake light....

If it did it in the front and whenever he unlocked his car it played the knightrider theme....well thennnn....that just might be kick ___.

 

The flashing LEDs are connected to a chip driver so the lights will have that effect. I had my turn signals done with a sequential effect. Very nice work though on that 3rd brake light.

 

that is freakin sweet. i want it too!

 

I wonder if that guy is on SL...if you read the comments, he would not tell the people asking how to do it. I take it that the chip driver would not be too much with regards to installation and power consumption? Well, if you ever decide to do it, I'm sure many people would appreciate a DIY guide =)

 

 

very cool

 

It seems kind of similar to what I had but I dunno how he might have done the circuitry.

I think if the light is always on, he would have had to add at least one additional wire running from the battery or maybe he could have tapped the power from the liscence plate lights.

I wonder if he actually cut through the light housing to put hardboard LEDs in the light?

 

Maybe it's connected to the brake relay somehow, so that it's only on when he brakes. I dunno much about circuitry and leds, but wouldn't the life of the led be drastically be shortened with full time (night) running?

 

I bet you a few bucks he used two varad or similiar scanners and just wired the 12 v lead to his brake light housing and put them in there...

with a little modification, two of these (or something similiar) would pull off the same effect



NEW PROJECT FOR ME!!! (I was running out of fun stuff)
