Hey guys I came across this in another thread,

"Bought a 12v flashing red led. drilled a small hole just behind the brake lever. Mounted the LED. Connected the negative to the ground switch of the brake lever and the posative to a constant 12v source. Now when the parking brake is engaged the LED flashes and it looks like you have an alarm. It also is a good indicator that your brake is on."

I live in an area that doesn't have all that much crime, so I'm thinking that a flashing red light might be a simple cost effective deterrent. Where is the flashing led placed when most alarms are installed? On the dash or center console?

 

good idea

 

Yeah I like that idea

 

most alarm LED's are placed based on the car itself... generally in a very visible area... i think the center console is a great location, but due to the high cost of replacement (if goofed), i ended up putting mine on the driver's side A-pillar. i have some mild regrets about that now...

 

Good idea especially for those with the factory alarm without a Led

 

Yup. When I got my alarm, I drilled the LED right into the shifter housing (That metal-looking piece of plastic)

 

Here's a picture of what I want to access to wire the LED. The photo was suplied by Cottoncb. THANKS!

The center console is from an 03 s2k or earlier. My s2k is an '04. I want ot be able to get to these wires in my '04. I don't kno where the clips are to remove the console.

Any suggestions?

 

HERE's the pic.

Sorry about that, I'm a bit of a doofus.

 

im interested also.

is there a way you can install it on the steering column? which wires would you tap for the power(12v),ground, ignition(ground w/ key off)?


where can you buy a led that comes prewired for the 12v , ignition, ground?

or does anyone know if you can order the stickers that come with the alarm to put on the window?
