Tell me about it, I have caught up with all my ish since my GF has been visiting her mom for a week. It's pretty amazing!

And this is the exact same question I have. Seems that everyone tends to go a different direction with them.

Yeah I think most people wire them to the brake lights so that when you hit the brakes it lights up.

I like the version where you can wire it to the already prewired system and make a switch/buy new turn signal switch

^^^This is the way to go in my opinion.

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 01:14 AM

Meh, I'd like to have it flash when braking and reversing, otherwise off. I haven't yet seen anyone else do it that way.

ZScr3am · 03-21-2012, 01:15 AM

That is what I did. I just wired it up to blink when I hit the break. I didn't have any problems it just seems easier that way. Plus I am an impatient man with fat fingers. Dealing with the little 24 gauge wire sucks!!! I will need some patience tomorrow however when I tackle my HFC.

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 01:16 AM

Any thoughts on how to wire it to blink on brake and reverse?

ZScr3am · 03-21-2012, 01:22 AM

Yeah all u have to do is tap into both the red and orange wires. I thought about doing that, but my reverse lights are so bright the blinking light will just confuse people!

Do you have a 240 selected?

Seems too easy.

Nothing is ever that simple (especially when it comes to electrical goodies)!

Hey Mr. Onzedge, I'm digging your new Avatar! I got to tell you, everytime you go and change it...I have to re-learn who this dude is that keeps posting!

Thanks -- I just picked up a re-mastered version of the album (along with some nice live goodies and demo versions). I almost forgot how good it is. Everyone raves about Dark Side of the Moon -- which is phenomenal, but Wish You Were Here is great as well.

As you can see I'm majorly torn over this dilemma, and I've thought long and hard over it. I sure wish I could see some Zs with 295s on it, stock Rays and stock height.

That the bead protection seems to be sufficent as far as I can tell.

I also went with stock sizes. I didn't think that it would be wise to put those 295 tires on stock Rays. I like my Rays so I decided to stick with the stock sizes and not have the possibility of changing the handling characteristics of my Z.

happytheman · 03-21-2012, 02:49 AM

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.
