Well, I just saw with my own eyes that it works.

Ok someone needed to come up with a switch just for the people that turn them on at a car hangout !

Thats pretty cool... That should be easy to do with some wire splice connectors and a switch, no? Rather than cutting the wires and what not.

MontanaKnight · 02-20-2011, 06:01 PM

I can design a switch that will allow it to work normally and then switch on to go to red, That is if this is true. I don't have my Camaro yet to test. But if anyone is interested let me know.

I'd like it for show only at night . Hook me up Knight .. please
I think some kind of toggle switch where with all the lights off you could flip it on and Demon eyes would come on without turning on the head light switch . Could this work?

I want to see him remake the video where it is just the LED, wires, and a battery. All in the shot at once as a straight shot. No fancy editing or cutting

I should be able to do with out much problem. I will just have to fine a headlight to test with. As I wouldn't have my Camaro till late March at the earliest. sniffle sniffle.

Would appreciated any help with use of an old headlight or if anyone any my area would let me test with theirs.

Edit: Should be able to wire it for headlight switch use or with headlight switch off. With some extra work possibly both ways.

That just looks like a recipe for disaster imo.

This member has been here since 2008. Now in the end this may not work, but for the people that think he is here to trick people, I say you are way off base here. What would be the point of that anyway?

Why is the headlight out of his car? Why did he shut off the light to do the demo. I kind of think he put in a dual color LED in the halo and thought it would be funny to show something like this.

Maybe not, but I can't see how reversing the polarity would work if it is an LED.

KnightRiderSS · 02-20-2011, 06:53 PM

If these lights really are LEDs you can damage them by reversing the polarity....something fishy is going on here
