• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Flashers Galore - ESI Products Installed

While we already had the LED Mud Flap lights for our Spyders, and my wife had the Ice White Day Runners, she surprised me by ordering some more goodies from ESI. This time they came in the form of Hyper Bright Bulbs for the fender tip lights, ice white for hers and amber for mine, a set of Amber Day Runners for me, and the Fender Tips Kit for both Spyders.

It took me a little while to install them properly, and a phone conversation with Jody to figure out the Day Runner connection had to go between the Fender Tips Kit connector and the actual Fender Tip light. :D

I already knew what a difference the Day Runners made on my wife's Spyder, but now with them flashing it is a whole lot better. I took a photo of the lights on my Spyder, and a short video to show them all flashing. Although the video is not the best quality, you can readily see this leaves no chance of someone saying they did not know you intended to turn. :thumbup:

This photo shows the Amber Day Runners, and Hyper Bright Bulbs, on my Spyder:

And here is the short video showing how everything looks when flashing now:

I also saw another video on YouTube that got my attention. It is red LED strips that go along the rear under panel, and then tie into the brake lights and rear turn signals. Very interesting indeed. :D
 
Which way are you turning ?:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

:2thumbs: Looks good. Love those Day Runners and the Mud Flap LEDs .Not overly happy with the Hyper bright bulbs, had one fail after 2 months.

Hopefully my Hyper Brights will last longer than that. I should probably take a picture of my wife's Spyder as well, to show the difference between the Ice White and the Amber. The ones on hers are very bright, but since I already have the fog lights I didn't want to take a chance of having too much white light on the front of mine. I think the Amber goes well with the yellow Spyder.
 
Here is a picture of my wife's Spyder with the Dy Runners and Hyper Bright bulbs:

I probably should take some new shots later on this evening, to show how much they shine when it begins to get dark as well.
 
Sure can't miss you!!! I have to get a video of my new lights I put in on Friday night... you could say the same about me.... just wait, you'll see.

Happy Modding!! :2thumbs:
 
nice

I have the ice white one and made them flash too with the hyper white bulbs get compliments all the time. Yours are very nice also!
 
Michael, they look great!

I had to turn the sound up to hear the rooster.:roflblack: Bet you love hearing that on days you can sleep in. Our old next door neighbor had one and Mark got his 1911 semi auto 10 mm Kimber out one morning, to go take care of it.:yikes::D

We have had a few run ins with the rooster wanting to attack. I have threatened to end his life several times, but my wife won't let me follow through with it. I highly doubt the stupid thing even realizes just how lucky it is to still be alive at this point.
 
Night Time Video and Pics

Here is a video clip of the lights in action at night:


This is a photo with the headlights and fog lights on as well. (Yes, the grass needs to be cut again :p)

This is basically the same shot with the flash on:

This is a shot without the headlights and fogs on:

:thumbup: SWWWWWWEET! I especially like the super bright turn sig lights. The Day Runners are cool too. But I can't have anything that produces drag! in fact I'm thinking of ways to reduce drag and increase downforce as well as lateral stability! This may involve buying some extra body panels and doing some experimentation with fabricating fins, difusers and the like. I'm avoiding a wing configuration as I think that would be a bit over the top. I don't know, we'll see what we can do. The fun is in the challange! :D

I still think your machine is poetry in motion...
 
Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Raptor, you just need to do what you feel like doing and don't worry about if others think it is over the top. The placement of these lights makes drag very minimal, as they are low profile, but I understand if you are trying to get every bit of speed you can out of your Spyder. I also know there are some who think I went a bit over the top with my Spyder, but I like it the way it is.

The only real issue I have with my Spyder is there is no sense in me ever trying to get out of a ticket by trying to say it wasn't me. :yikes:
