You can dim the LEDs with a resistor anyway, or colour them with a couple of coats of black permanent marker.
nah, just drive faster and still look out of the right hand windowOriginally Posted by AlanDITD
Blasphemy! That involves me pushing a button. Could hook up a microcontroller to dim them when the headlights are on, but I'd probably just go for plain green LEDs, or maybe a green, orange, red setup.
Would a better location not be tucked behind the smoked clock panel face - there should be plenty of room. That way they're central and all car occupants can see how much you're pushing it?
I'm not sure about that location as you really need to look down (I think). Well at least that what I need to do when I want to see my gauges (which are hidden in there). Might be no problem to see a LED blinking though, but not sure. In the a-pillar you simply look straight ahead and see them always, even when turning your head (a bit) to the left.
Inside the top of the clock pod so that they shine on the Windscreen? Useless during the day, but EPIC at night
I was thinking that too
AYC bars at night is epic anyway!
Maybe get the third LED light to trigger something else on the car to highlight the fact that you are on 3 bars? Maybe a set of under car neons or a KITT style front LED bar

Whoa! I'll have some of what Atik is having!
How about it illuminates the CVR4 logo?
Mark, that is a brilliant mod - credit to you Sir! Not being blessed with this in the VR2 never really taken a lot of notice of the bars when driving VR4s. Was "testing" one a little while back for strange noises when cornering and used a roundabout to produce the noise. Was quite unaware of any bars until the owner says - you've got all three bars up!! I'm sure with your mod I could have enjoyed the moment too.
Where's that Video Mark ?!
