awsome. the site didnt say how it works? does it get wired into the speaker output? or does it get hooked into batterie and then internal microphone pic up the sound?

It has a mic, you just have to give it power.

awsome! looks like i got floor lights. im going to try and use my strips for the roof lights. mounted facing tword the roof and the front. try and make the whole truck light up. thanks for the ideas! i just need a diagram for my leds now.

while developing the diagram i remembered that i used a zener diode to regulate the voltage across the LEDs and drop resistor, then had a resistor to regulate current through the Zener. i think this will work, but i need to build one to test...

dang. looks complicated! ill jump in on this next week when my instructor gets back from leave. i am a novic at this stuff but i will try. do u have any idea how i can check the volt drop from my leds?

also where can i get a zener diode? ive never herd of them befor.

is the combined impedance from all the leds combined or is that from the diodes resistance in ohms?

thanks again man. i dont know if it took you long to creat this but i apreciate it!

Is it really a good idea to drive around with lights flashing inside of your car?

I like a bit of lights in my car and have a couple small blue leds that light up the footwells in my car but it is nothing that can cause a distraction.

What if a Moose is in the road and you do not notice cause of all the flashing lights you have in your car.

at least put a on/off switch in the setup.

good luck

that is a good point, i will probly get sick of them flashing when i dont want them on and will put a toggle switch in there.

but i am going to be smart about how i mount them, making sure none of them flash in my face and none on the windshield. but i dont think it will be to much of a problem.

but thank you for the advice, i actualy hadnt thought of that till you said it.
