More New Lights from TricLED

[SpyderWolf]

Yes, you read the title correctly as I have added even more lights to my Spyder. This time they are in the form of Amber LED strips. I used 2 12" strips along the curve of the nose cone, 2 12" strips under the nose cone for ground effects lighting, and 2 8" strips to define an angle on the nose cone heading from the Spyder towards the ground. These are all tied together into zone 3 of my controller box, and work with the remote like my other lights do.

Pictures show things much easier than my typing does, so here we go.

This is the left side of the nose cone in the daylight, you can see the amber lighting on the ground as well.

Same lights as above with headlight rings turned on. My headlights are not on in any of these pictures:

I will work on creating a new video when I get some extra time. :thumbup:

Although I'm not a fan of seeing the lights, just the effects, it does look nice.

Back away from the keyboard and put the credit card down. :lecturef_smilie: I think we are getting close to an intervention here. Actually I think you may be safe. I don't see where else you can put anymore lights. Not my cup of tea but it's looking good. :thumbup: Are all of the new lights hooked into the remote so you can set them all into UFO mode?

:spyder:

Believe it or not, I still have a few ideas of where more lights can go on it. :roflblack: I will need another controller box and remote though, and then will have to remember which one controls what lights.

Here is how things are currently wired into the remote controller box, for maximum UDO (Unidentified Driving Object) mode.
Zone 1 - Headlight rings
Zone 2 - Fog light rings
Zone 3 - Nose cone and front ground effects
Zone 4 - Amber side marker lights
Each zone has its own button on the remote, and you can choose between 3 different modes. When I set them all to flashing it looks really wild now.

My wife still says it looks kind of like a baby Peterbuilt coming down the road. :dontknow:

Hey man... You buy a 2nd battery yet? :shocked: ..or at least buy that little jump start unit they had at SITS that got you running that one? time? LOL

Looks sharp!

 

[ARtraveler]

Very nice. You will be easy to see when going down the road. You might even scare some people off the road--they may think their seeing a UFO.

 

[Sarge707]

More Power too Yah!!! :roflblack:

Thanks for that great picture comparison Doc. :thumbup:

:roflblack: No need for the new battery yet, I haven't had any problems since that night. I also have not left them sitting on for a few hours while I was in a restaurant eating and visiting since them. I am going to buy one of the mini jump starter packs though, as the small one was very cool and could come in handy for many situations. :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I sent you a PM. :thumbup:

Having a unique Spyder that can now be seen from space is priceless to me.
