    LED Turn signals

    Got it working. Scrapped the solid state components. Couple of 12V automotive relays and some crimps later, got them wired up and working first try. I've uploaded a video and a couple pictures for anyone who's curious. Thanks for the suggestions! What a rats nest hey? Close-up of the...

    LED Turn signals

    That's what I was trying to do in the first place. I want them on all the time (with the tail lights), and to blink the appropriate side when the turn signal is activated (really, the way it works out, is that when the signal is lit, the LED strip is off). Each strip draws 0.45A. As I mentioned...

    Naw, I know that this would take approximately 6 and a half seconds with a microcontroller. However, I want to use the turn signal blinker as a signal wire. The idea is that they are on regularly, and go off when the turn signal wire goes hi (so they blink, but 'opposite' to the front and rear...

    LED Turn signals

What I want to do is have a strip on either side of the seat wired into the tail lights, but also setup so that when I turn on the turn...
