Pm me with price when ready please. I would like sequential lights. Thx

Here's a shot of a production board with a stand-in transistor ((MOSFET's not in yet)..

Who or where is this available at? When can I acquire one? Awesome job with it, looks fantastic!

Since this is a DIY thread, we will make the boards available for those that want to build this.

Ok, I'm considering doing this. I just want to verify that the last parts list for the relay setup (post# 245) includes EVERYTHING needed for this DIY. This includes all the resistors needed so the BCM doesn't error out. Everything to make this a success.

So far that parts list is about $54 (minus shipping), so I'm hoping it's complete.

Thanks,

It was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I included everything except wire and solder to make the connections. P/N RT50J-5.0-ND is the resistor you're wondering about. It's a 5 Ohm, 50 W through-hole resistor.

After looking at the relay I choose, I think this one would be a better choice: 255-1239-ND. It's got a higher contact rating and is cheaper.

Highlifeman - that's what I thought because of that part, but I just wanted to be sure. :-)

Yup, I also saw your post a few later changing the relays and took that into account as well, but appreciate the re-update.

Looks like I'm good to go then for about $54 plus shipping. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the updated info and I'll use the latest posted schematic.

I thought I would upload a "tweaked" relay schematic. I really didn't change much, but I just added a couple of notes that I got from reviewing this entire thread. I hope this helps out people. I just ordered the parts via Digi-key, so just waiting for them to come in. Once they do, then I'll hope I can solder them all together as the others have and come out with a working unit. I'll then post up a Youtube video of my success.

Good DIY write up. Thanks to all

I pussed out and bought the kit from rpidesigns for $89. Coupon code save and camaro5 took 5 bucks off each possible more codes out there but it's listed at $99. Feel like something would go wrong for me if I tried a full diy. Thanks for the write up considered this for awhile but went the conservative route.

I just received all of my "parts" today. I think this weekend I'll work on putting them together and see what goes. Hopefully I read the schematic right and don't wire something up incorrectly. LOL

Will post up how it goes.

Guys, I was about to start this today, but wanted to confirm one thing first. On the schematics that got put up, any lines that intersected (WITHOUT a hump over it) were actually connected together, correct????

Normally there is a dot at connections, but I saw that humps were drawn in, which usually indicates no connection, so I wanted to make sure. I didn't want to make all these connections at these intersecting lines and come to find out they weren't supposed to be connected. LOL!

Thanks,
Mat

That's correct. The software I used to draw those doesn't put in dots and uses the humps instead to signify no connection.
