What did you do with your Z today II

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 12:14 AM

Meh, I'd like to have it flash when braking and reversing, otherwise off. I haven't yet seen anyone else do it that way.

Mine is wired to come on solidly with the brake and flash in reverse. There's some debate here in Texas whether it is legal to have a flashing brake light.

Since I could never get a definitive answer, I just went the solid brake light route. It's like the front license plate debate - some folks have gone years without ever getting pulled over for no plate, and others seem to collect tickets.

It's easier to just say "WTF" and goose step with the lemmings.

Good Morning All!

Any thoughts on how to wire it to blink on brake and reverse?

ZScr3am · 03-21-2012, 12:22 AM

Yeah all u have to do is tap into both the red and orange wires. I thought about doing that, but my reverse lights are so bright the blinking light will just confuse people!

Seems too easy.

Nothing is ever that simple (especially when it comes to electrical goodies)!

Thanks -- I just picked up a re-mastered version of the album (along with some nice live goodies and demo versions). I almost forgot how good it is. Everyone raves about Dark Side of the Moon -- which is phenomenal, but Wish You Were Here is great as well.

Thanks alcheng I appreciate the schooling that puts me at ease. As far as the light being legal it is not a moving violation so they will just make u change it.

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 01:49 AM

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 02:02 AM

Alcheng - It seems all the other industries are slacking and need to get themselves similarly awesome mascots as well don't you think?

Ok, off to bed with me! Good night my fellow Z-ers.

Happytheman,
