Help me!!! Newbie lol

[GreyGun]

Would someone be able to help me install or walk me through the install of those pedals that hook up to a 12v source? The instructions are written worse than the owner\'s manual of my guitar amplifier!

If someone can let me in on any tips, holler back.

Thanks.

umm

wtf? pedals? like gas and brake?! why do they need to be connected to a 12v source?!

[GreyGun]

they are the pedal covers that mount onto your existing pedals, but they have an LED or something that you hook up to a 12v source so they light up.

i think they are the pedals that light up...i guess you can just tap it to the nearest 12v source the comes on when you turn on your lights...there is a bulb in the ashtray that you could use as your source...

oh,

thats interesting. well just to tell you, if you dont know what ur doing, or only slightly know what your doing, obviously dont tap into the wireing harness near the steering wheel (not exactly sure where it is). lol it costs alot of money to replace if messed with

I will be attending the meet tonight, hopefully someone can help me out.

If you don\'t feel safe to do it yourself, talk to Jeff @ Lockdown. He\'s well-praised regarding to electrical installations. Don\'t shock yourself in wet days when you press the pedals :p

[GreyGun]

Ah screw it...Did it myself by connecting the wires to a 9v battery harness, and conected it to a 9v battery. works!

[ds2chan]

nice.. should post up pics so we can see what they look like..

[same0l679]

any luck putting these on your car yet?

[GreyGun]

If somebody has a digital cam, I have no probs posting the pics. They are (no offense) Ricer-esque mods, but I don\'t have the cash to do crazy stuff. I am keeping it stock (motor/suspension) as it is already extremely fast, and my insurance company will drop me if I get ONE gnikcuf ticket. I just need a bit of help mounting my switch, and we\'re all good. Perhaps Wednesday night if someone wants to contact me on my cell. (647) 588-5150.

what power source did you end up using to tap the pedals too?

he said that he hooked it up to a 9V battery..

maybe u could mount it using velcro to the underside of the pedal area (don\'t know if there\'s an actual name for this area)..

[GreyGun]

Yea. It\'s cool and all. If anyone wants to see this, let me know. When is the next meet?

I still can\'t get over the fact that you have lighted pedals operating off of a 9V battery! :sarc

[GreyGun]

It\'s all good. This is one way of making it my own.

I think it\'s called the Pedal Pit.

Lol, I guess if you call roadside assistance telling them your battery is dead, you\'ll have to be more specific on what type from now on! :D
