Hi guys, I have this problem with my audio system always blowing out my tail lights due to the constant vibration. is there some sort of way I could rig it up so that an LED inside the glove box would light up, or go out once a tail light blew... I got pulled over cause I had a tail light out, and hadn't noticed it....

thanks, guys

The Saint...

Instead of rigging what could be a moderately complicated indicator circuit, why don't you just replace your tail lights with LED lights? There should be several places you can get them...stores, online, mail-order, JC Whitney, Crutchfield.

I've seen LED tail lights on some cars where I'm from. They don't light up the whole tail light assembly like regular bulbs do, but they won't be affected by vibration and blow out. And the last a really, really long time...the average span lf an LED light is in the thousands of hours.

You may want to look into that as an option,

hi, thanks, thats what I am going to do, I just want to make sure that I put them in there so that you can't see each individual LED, that was my main reason for sticking with the Bulb in there... thanks
