thanks frank! like i said I thought it was weird they were on before the show but not during, but that would explain it

The Body controller will shut the lights off after a few minutes so that your battery does not drain.

The cars on the floor (other than the Red RS) are not powered up. (we must disconnect the batteries) -- We DID power up the Red RS (as well as Corvettes so that the doors open ....) -- but it's a VERY early car -- and the controller shuts the halos off in about 45-60 seconds.

The cars at Detroit had 'jumper' wires on them to keep the lights on -- that involves cutting into wiring harnesses -- something we don't like to do...

Uh, why not just disconnect the factory harness into the headlights, and have your engineers fabricate a harness with factory connectors that can be run into the floor of the building or wherever your power source is? That way, the lights and ONLY the lights can stay on indefinitely without having to hack into the factory wiring harness, and your battery can stay disconnected.

Give me the factory connectors to the headlights, a hundred feet of 12 gauge wire, and just show me where the 12 volt power source is for display vehicles.... I'll have all the headlights in your display area on every car running in a half hour without a single modification into the car's factory electronics.

Yup -- but are you going to show up at every show and do that?

GM could always do something like this

With something like this underneath


That is the trunk of the concept ....... a lil messy isn't it.

I'm with CnV here. . . if the delay is to much I'll be changing to the aqua blue metalic.

I could be a bastard and have my pic taken beside the test bodies of white and CGM and show you guys what your not seeing lol. But i love my job, and i don't like the unemployment line too much.
