Ultimate Light Mod?
 

Can any of you w/ the electical engineering degrees make sense of the light set for sale HERE ?

Is it possible to "backward" engineer this light set so that we here in the states can make it ourselves?

you can buy it from him he ships it overseas.
speaking of the ultimate light mod does anyone know where I can get one of those tiny headlight LEDs it comes with, I think one of mine broke

Radio Shack should have them. If they dont have any of them, any other electronic supply store should have them.

hey, u dont need to backwards engineer anythign he give u a schematic at the bottom of tha page.. all u need to do is buy the tools and supplies and do it

You still need a schematic for the board...

u can buy those boards at radio shack and places like it, also check out his home page... its got a tonn of other killer light mods too

Probably would be Cheaper and easier just to buy the Ultimate Light mod, especially since everything needed is included in the kit!;)

i think he gives you everything but u still have to solder it all together. so now the only real question is eactly what boards is he using so we can go and buys it ourselves

I think they are custom designed and produced boards for the ultimate light kit. Why would radio shack carry such things. I think you would need to know all the components on the board and its layout and make one yourself

radio shack should have the boards but the only problem is geting one that would fit. I tried looking there but i couldnt find any but my friend found some at another radio shack and by the time i got there they were all sold out :( for all the guys here that can make them well you go ahead and put it up on ebay with a tutorial and ill buy it in a heart beat and i sure some othere ppl here will too.

Ok then I want to go to radio shack and purchase such boards, what is the part # or what should I be asking for?

Yea, if we can make this thing ourselves, that would be great!!!

Whose got the info????? I want details....part numbers and where I can get the stuff...muhahahahaha

Unless I get a part # I still don't believe radio shack sells those boards preassembled with all the chips solder on it. Unless radio shack was actually selling the ultimate light kit itself why would they have it, what would they have it for?

There is no way he make those boards himslef in shis basement. if he dose i'll eat my bit. Those boards have to be baught somewhere. on the installation page he refers to them as krm1 and krm3 circuit boards!

You don't make them in a garage. There are certain electrical engineering or manufacturing companies which can mass produce those boards. All you have to do is give them the skematic and stuff. I know this because I use to draft mechanical designs using autocad.
We still need to know the schematic for the board to be able to mass produce them.

I could turn out hundereds of these boards from my basement if i wanted, the biggest problem you have is getting hold of the main IC on the board, the top marking are all scraped off to stop people copying it on mine (i bought it from him), and it is probably a pic controller that needs to be programmed and someone would need to write the program code to upload into the chip,

You could buy 10 ultimate light mod kits for the cost of all the parts you would need to produce you own, and then you need the board etching and software programming skills to be able to produce the boards,

For the amount of work that has gone into this kit, i would say that you'd be very hard pushed to match the quality and features of his kits

Actually finding out what the chip is should be easy for anyone familiar with electronics, but I have to agree the parts, etching supplies and the work needed to STEAL the design is more expensive than just buying it. I will be buying more than one.

BTW, don't ask, I will not divulge the chip type but I have figured out what it is, and if I am correct it does not require any programming skills.

Pssst...Editor...whisper it in the forum, I won't tell :D

Im not sure if this is possible, but could you fit an led under the car to get that neon under glow effect?

Reckless..yup others have done it....do a search

Hey!

That's exactly what I want to do but need to know the IC he is using. All the other components are pretty simple to figure out. Bassicaly he uses the output of the PCB (in the car) to activate the specific LED circuitry. The cuircitry is powered by a 3V coin cell.

The only thing I need is the IC. What part # is it?

I want one but I want to build it myself. It's going to be cheaper for me to build it since I have all the parts I need except for the IC.

Kit.

i can never do that in my life...all his smoldering and connecting...dag..i dont kno how any1 can do it..its just to confusing for me...if some1 can buy it and put it together for me i wil pay em $70...i just love them lights
