i have wanted to do this for a while but dont have any idea how to. ok, say i went out and got a laser pointer that runs off of batteries. Now is it possible i am pretty sure that it is, to hook it up to your car battery without destroying the laser. I think this would be cool as the laser would shine a beam through the exhaust of your car at night.

Always put the top back on the glue after you've finished using it.

A very novel idea. Would probably be quite a bit of work though. That would be wicked to see a red beam going through your exhaust cloud at night. I too kapart a laser pointer and tried to run it off a 12v power supply at 2A in an attempt to make a super-laser, but it burnt out after, oh... maybe .25 of a second or so. So good luck.

LOLOLOL!

Seriously that sounds like a good idea, but only use it during shows and stuff. Not while actually driving, it could distract the driver behind you. And the cops will probably ticket you for it.

Still you could try it out by putting a laser in the exhuast for a few minutes and check it out.

ha ha this idea does get some respect

now i asked the guys at radio shack and they said that you could get a voltage distributor... not sure thats what i want though, seems to me like i could run a wire with resistors to get the desired watts from the battery. any other suggestions? oh yah, i did it and it looks pretty cool, another thing that id like to do is put them in the corner lamps, looks crazy there but i think i am over my head, any suggestions?

might not work long cuz the junk and vapor from the exhaust will probably cover the diode when it gets hot.

Sorry to bring this up, but this could be dangerous by risking blinding someone (especially if you use it while driving). I'd not want that on my conscience.
Then again, installing rear facing fogs (concealed of course) might be good in deterring tailgaters.

sounds like a great idea, but how hot does it get inside of a muff., would the laser device hold up to the punishment?

I've been thinking about the flip-up license plate idea. Not sure how to do it though. We could always have a reflective window cover up the license plate at the flick of the button. Just a cool little mod, it wouldn't really help against the cops cause they would use the radio to get you, but it would be a cool toy to show off to friends.

a while back I was thinknig about maing a device that flips your license plate over to a new one that's on the back. That's alot better than having NO license plate showing when someone tries to get your number.
