I"d be interested
That engine light looks appealing to me. Could you do red as well? Approximate Cost? PM me.

Any color is possible...
Hello fjpikul,
I am working on an "any color" unit. I found out that it's also an excellent work light for the engine when the hatch is opened up, since everything is nicely illuminated. Unfortunately, royal blue is not a good color for that application. I will be able to supply you with any color, including red. I do not have a price yet. I will keep you posted.
Thanks, Jay

Thanks for reply
Okee dokee. I'm particularly waiting for Halloween to scare the kids in the neighborhood. Make them think I'm the police in a special pursuit vehicle or rocket ship.

Do you think this lighting represents anything the CHP may be interested in pulling one over to tell you it is illegal? Looks awesome, any choice of colors? Very very cool.

Also, for those of you that are waiting, I am working on final design. This turned out to be much more complicated than first thought.
One other thing, the new magnetic oil drain plugs will be on the website later on today. This is something that I highly recommend for maximixing engine life on your GT.
Thanks,

There should be no problem because I went through terrific design pains to make sure that the light source cannot be seen directly from any point outside of the car.AtomicGT said:

What is the staus of this project ? I found I have a LED and wanted to install it but could not locate a convenient place to tap into the elctrics (or I could simply buy your kit if it is available).
I'm peddling as fast as I can!
This project has been a real pain because it interferred with my normal 12 hr/day job! I am machining the parts today and should be ready to ship before the week's up. There are many persons that need them for the GT rally coming up real soon.
It is difficult to prevent the LED from directly illuminating to the outside of the car. This is one way an upset cop could ticket you! The LED must be very high up and properly shielded. It's much harder than it looks, however, I am extremely fussy about the quality of illumination. My goal is to have an even illumination along the top of the supercharger. Please feel free to contact me anytime about specific details. I had promised you guys that you would have this product before the rally, now I must live up to this. I plan on machining parts until at least midnight...
Thanks,
Jay

I am interested as well, wondering if it attaches to the clam shell or the engine bay.
I'd think blue could cause problems, I remember from my drivers test long ago that blue lights are not allowed.
Would be nice to be able to turn it on or off, especially from inside.

This will attach to the clam shell.
I think that this will be okay since it's indirect diffuse lighting (as opposed to direct). You cannot see the top of the supercharger from the far rearside of the car.
Since I am picking up some high power LED's, it would be nice to get an idea of what colors everyone will want. The royal blue is what I have used since it interacts nicely with the metallic silver paint on the supercharger. I will buy a few red and many royal blue LED's. I can get green, however, I am not sure if anyone would specify that color. One other warning guys, I am badly color-blind, so your guidance will be much appreciated.
These first units will not be switchable. The light will only turn on when the runnng lights or headlights are ON. You could temporarily disable it and I plan on having a way to do this before the rally. Future units will have more features and I will accept a future upgrade/trade in, okay?

I'm interested, blue or white light.
I also tried to buy the GTsavers online a long while back and had trouble. hope you bring a bunch of your stuff to the rally. I'm sure many members would like to touch and feel the stuff and simply buy it on the spot. Cash even.

I want mine Christmas tree, you know, blinking, colors of the rainbow. How hard can that be? Otherwise, I think blue is the way to go, but I would like to see red and how it matches my car.
