    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Today I figured out how to make the next little lighting mod happen:

    1] I bought one of these timer circuits.

    2] I used a standard Bosch auto relay

    3] I bought red waterproof strip lighting on a spool (love this stuff)

    I used all that plus some regular hookup wire along with a push in the right direction (thanks valleyboy!) and figured out the right wiring to use my Viper alarm as a trigger.

    Now when I arm/disarm my alarm, the LEDs under the door handles illuminate for 25 seconds then turn off.

    I'm rather pleased with how they turned out. They are actually up under the handle, stuck to the black plastic, so what you see is a reflection.

    pretty easy actually. think of it like forks on a bike. you need caster to drive straight and handle when in the dirt ect... but what do I know. i'm just a lurker on this forum and have never built anything other than some jr. high mini bikes and go carts.

    Lets just say I am very happy with the ARB, no damage whatsoever on my end. Protected my lights, and everything else. Just some scuff marks. Amazing

    135k Miles and this is my first "incident" no time to react but lucky I was able to slow down to around 5mph just before impact. Guess that's why we pay for insurance. Just one of those times you kick yourself in the ass to make sure it never happens again. Made sure the other party was taken care of.
