I am thinking about having my tails painted but I need my car to drive every day. Does anyone in the Phoenix area have a sedan that they don't drive all the time who would be willing to let me borrow or rent your tail lights for a few days?

 

man if you had a coupe it would be my honor to have my taillights encounter more boost than my car makes...

 

I would too... sorry mang.

 

Thanks guys.

 

how about just getting something legal from the local car parts shops?
theres LED lights you can use just to be legal while yours get worked on.
they cant be too expensive.

 

I am sure after ALL that cash he's dumped into that thing the last thing he wants to do is be ghetto like that. lol

 

That won't work on the G without some modification. The G uses a single CAN bus wire for parking and brake lights. I don't have a way to interperate that signal and run a relay to turn on a normal LED or standard bulb. The turn signal is a separate 12v signal so that would be ok. I would much rather just find time where I don't need my car or borrow someone else's tails for a couple days.

 

u make it sound way more complicated imo than it really is, but suit yrself.
nino, for fawcks sake its only a day or two.
sounds like its easier to rent a car and no fuss.

 

OK, show me how simple it is... Show me an easy way to make another light work on the CAN bus signal from the BCM. I have tried to use it to make a relay control another light with no luck.

 

give me a call, come on down, im sure we can figure it out, and if we cant my bad. what year is your sedan?

 

I'm not sure what there is to figure out. Do you have an O-scope and a way to build an IC to interpret the signal and drive another set of lights? They would also require relays with their own power. Believe me, I'm an Aerospace engineer, I have put some thought to this and it's not worth doing.

OK back to the first post. Anyone have a set of tails I could borrow for a few days sometime?

 

best of luck then

 

I do, but you're not local

 

I'm sure at this point he might not mind shipping them if you don't.

Tim's a trustworthy guy

 

Thanks guys. This one is done now. Work has been completed.
