Lighting system info(mod)

I never like to buy something thaT YOU can do your self so im testing the little jack and have come up with this info.

with the front of the car facing this way

front<--------batt.--------->rear.

you have the following prongs.(or metal spikes as you will)

! ! ! !
1 2 3 4

i Have found number 3 is negative all the rest pull some sort of current and are +

! ! ! !
+ + - +

So With the controller lets see what is going on.

With 3 and 4 (4 being positive) it lights the led and when gas or brake is used it brightens the led.Just looking at the board that comes with the lighting setup i can test that they are just resiters.Unless there is a hidden ecm which i doubt.

2 and 3 (2 being pos.) lights the leds and when gas or brake is given it reduces the current.

1 and 3 light the led and when gas or brake is applied to ends the current(meaning no light )

so for my mod im gonna go with the 3 and 4 setup just to haVE HEADLIGHTS.
The only reason im doing this is to use my own leds.This car is about modding so iu hope this helps other mod the heck outa thier lights.



With lights off And this last one is looking straight on.
These leds have a tight angle giving it a hid effect.Halagens spread the light but hid are a bolt of light that is spread by reflected casing.These leds are also uv in properties meaning.They look to have a haze on them like you cant focus on them and they have blacklight properties.i hope to fit these in and show off everything soon.My wife hates me right now.It seems you can safly use 2 leds on 3+4 prong without heating them up too much.One led gets hot so a resister is needed.2 splits the current and is at a safe 3.71- volts.
Any comments?
