How many ppl has installed a LED (it's call el-Scanner) on their windshield. It's a strip of LED that sticks to the windshield, it looks like the red light on the Knight Rider car. Anyway, i'm having some problem in installing and was wondering can anyone give me some feedback to where to hook the power from? Thanks so much.

a friend of mine did this on his accord. i'll get the complete instructions to you when he gets to me about this. it's something about the fuse or something like that.

is it street legal?

most likely not. most people use it as the alarm LED. driving knight rider style is probably somewhere like strobes.

Yes because if you hook it up the right way, it comes on when the car is off. My friend has one and it comes on once the car is turned off. It was hooked up with the alarm or something.

i thought he was talking about having it on while driving, ya know? e.g., KITT

I am sure you can hook it up the other way, not sure if it is exactly "street legal", but would a cop really pull you over just for that?

I originally tapped the power from the security lite, cuz I thought the security lite would provide enough power. When the stock alarm is set the LED stays on for a little bit and then when the system starts to blink, the LED shuts off and the lite doesn't even blink. I realized that was the wrong way to hook it up, so i have to find another way to hook it up. Frustrating, and I hid the wires so well to.
Back to square one.
