Hotrod Posted July 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2009 I added these a whlie back and thought some one else might be interested.I added the Signal Dynamics light bar under the trunk and the Yamaha spoiler with brake light, and decided I wanted some turn signals up high to match.I ordered a set of 3 inch light bars from Custom Dynamics in clear with a chrome base.They light up amber.You can also order them with a red or amber lense and also with a black base.I think they were about $45.I wanted them to blend in with the antennae when I got them mounted.I bought a 1 inch wide piece of aluminum to cut the mounting brackets out of.I then Wrapped the wires in electical tape and ran them down and under the trunk with the coax from the antennae,and then to the wires behind the tag.Attached to the coax with small zip ties. I really like them and they blend in with the antennae.You don't even notice them until they light up.I also polished the aluminum mounting brackets so they shine pretty good.

gibvel Posted July 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2009 Nice addition. Gets them up where people are more likely to see them. Any trouble with noise through the radio or CB when you're on the brakes. That was my only thought about running the wires down with the Antenna wires.

Hotrod Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 14, 2009 No noise at all, just better to be seen when making a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted July 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2009 Very cool idea... I've been racking my brain for just such a solution. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvbailey3 Posted July 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2009 Excellent idea. Are the turn signals clearly visible from the side as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrod Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted July 14, 2009 Yes,they are visible from the sides.They come with 2 wires,one for low intensity and one for high and 1 ground.I just wanted them for turn signals,since I have a LED board in the tail light,Signal Dynamics light bar and the Yamaha spoiler that came with dual intensiy light.I just twisted both the hot wires together and wired for turn signals only.

Hotrod Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted July 15, 2009 They are the 3 inch,clear lense, chrome base,that light up amber in color.They are about $45.They also have the red lense,amber lense,and can get black base if so desired.I wanted them to blend in with my antennaes and not be too visible until they light up.

Red Rider Posted September 8, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 8, 2009 Is that a plug and play or do I need a load eq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted September 8, 2009 Share #23 Posted September 8, 2009 Is that a plug and play or do I need a load eq?No load equalizer. It just plugs in using a standard plug on a pigtail. The board mounts onto the screw holes used by the tail light cover. Very easy. I have the old 128 LED model. They went down to 32 but are back up to 100. That's great. The only thing wrong with my light is the main board is so bright that the 3 white LEDs they used for the plate were not enough. At night you couldn't see the plate at ten feet for the brilliance of the tail light itself. I added a 6 LED plate light on the plate frame and was good to go.

Bummer Posted September 8, 2009 Share #25 Posted September 8, 2009 I installed LED turn signals and didn't use a load equalizer. They blink a little fast, but people notice 'em. Every guy who tells me I have a bulb burnt out is a guy who's not gonna run me over and say he didn't see me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
