Well I am in the middle of an install and thought of something and figured someone here would know. The previous owner of my truck had about 5 holes (per door panel) for LED lights / indicators / something. They were just holes when I got it. Anyway, my viper esp150 puts out a intermittant signal to light a LED. I was wondering if there was a gizmo out there so I could put in a series of LED's and have the fire off in a knight rider fashion.

Got to do something with the holes. Any ideas?

Thank you. Next question. Since LED's do not require that much powe, could I run two LED's of each node so I could have the LED's in sync?

Would anyone have the specs / install sheet on these?

Well I found 2 and bought them. If I hook them up the same will each series blink in sync with each other?

These would be the DEI 629R.

Thanks

Well, originally I was going to just hook up another set of LEDs in parallel and have it all run off one unit guaranteeing that they would flash in sync. But I talked to DEI and they said that one unit does not put out enough power to drive 2 LEDs at the same time; so I bought two hoping they will sync.

I guess I will find out...

Well so much for that idea. I guess DEI was wrong. I have two DEI 629R's hooked up and they scan at different speeds - I was hoping to get them in sync.

I would think this is possible. Anyone have any other ideas?
