The module should technically work with any vehicle.

It basically consists of high impedence inputs and relay outputs. The high impedence inputs allow you to tap an existing signal without modifying that signal in any way (important if the wire is being monitored for a certain current, like turn signals).

That is correct.

The plan is to eventually raise the price a bit to generate a little extra profit to start paying OCG35 back a little for his investment. As it stands right now OCG35 has soley paid for all the reseach and engineering on this module.

Oh, cool. Good job on creating this mod for everyone. I see you handled all the R&D and you probably won't even profit off of it. That's really cool of you.

Thanks – but just to be clear, Kevin @ KP Technologies created this mod – I only had the idea… I never intended to make a profit, and never will make a profit… Kevin might and should… I’m just a consumer that was looking for a specific mod.

If you follow the history, this was initially something I thought a local electrical guy could do… I had no intention of it being something everyone could do… but through a bunch of trial and error it was determined a module would be necessary and KP Technologies is a perfect choice for such a thing.

Because it hadn’t been done, I needed to pay for the R&D rather than just the unit price – I got what I wanted so I am pleased… Any future $ that may or may not come my way is not profit – it will be to cover the additional amount over $100 that I paid – everything else is profit for the manufacturer of this mod which is KP Technologies.

Having that been said, I’m happy to have helped in the process and hopefully others will find creative ways to use this mod – or even the same unique look I will have… Photos of the final version (painted, etc) will be posted later…

Oh, sorry for the confusion... anyway - you might like to do the mod in this thread AND Tim's mod found here:https://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/202609-anyone-other-sedans-hate-their-incandescent-turn-signal-bulbs.html
That should accompliash what you are trying to do

Wow!

Looks great!

How much would it generally cost to have the turn signals painted?

Very well executed. I had always wondered what the G would look like with this mod done.

Stoof: can you see your lights when you brake? looks ****in badass as hell, but I'm wondering if I'd get pulled over constantly.
