Here is a vid - I am sorry for the quality but it was just after dark and bright ass LED's with an iphone. Not the best but you get the idea.

On the way home from my father-in-laws toy house (his shop) I stopped by home depot to get some epoxy and had about 15 comments on how bad ASS it looked! HAHA!

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the awesome post! As far as cutting, it's really not much, as you can see from Dave's later posts. The best thing is that is less expensive than the competition but it does MORE. Send me a PM if you have questions you need answered!

I ran out of time tonight so the additional pics of the actual cuts I made and other pics will be tomorrow some time. I have to pull the bar to tape it/epoxy it in place so i will take some pics of the cuts I made. I may cut a little bit more horizontally (toward the bowtie) on each side to relieve a little pressure so the bar will lay down a little better... hell, then the double sided tape may work. Stay tuned!

Awesome dude, all you need now is a few red/blue lights behind your rear windshield and behind your front windshield and start pulling people over! HAHA!

Dave2SSRS · 07-17-2010, 12:04 AM

LOL! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo thanks!

You made me order one tonight! gonna go good with my clear strobes!!!! HAHAHAHA! Selling my knightlight.co.uk piece.. its fun but I want the colors! and I want the brighter one.

here's what my strobes with my factory light look like..

I also added the strobes that are in my DRL's to my turn signals too so I have 4 + the kickass new RGB mailslot coming soon! WHOOP WHOOP!

The 2010 Sin · 07-17-2010, 05:20 PM

Does the remote have a way to remember what mode it is in? for example if im running a red and blue wigwag setup and I turn it off.. can I go straight back to that feature or do i have to scan through a ton of patterns again?

Dave2SSRS · 07-17-2010, 06:40 PM

It remembers... it is not the remote that remember.. there is a control box that gets mounted.

Dave2SSRS · 07-17-2010, 07:17 PM

As promised! Here are the pics of the cuts we made (well the passenger side one) and one of the tape method we used and the clamps. It looks like the tape is going to work out after all! The clamps made this job EASY! I recommend them! We got crazy innovative with some Popsicle sticks to help out! HAHA!!

I am going to keep it clamped for a good 2-3 hours then I will show you the finished product. I removed the clamps to move them after about 30 minutes and the bar didn't budge! WOOHOO!

Hope this helps!

Dave

code3 ss · 07-18-2010, 12:44 AM

MSG' · 07-18-2010, 08:35 AM

The clamps were $16 for a set of 2... so roughly $32 at home depot. I will surely use them for other things... I have a few sets of these clamps but they we all too big! LOL

Yes, I totally forgot about the wiring. I will do my best but I am not going to pull anything apart.
