SVX Grille Lights
The SVX grille was asking to be modded.
It looks like a light but it's not. I decided to make it useful by incorporating my alarm status into it. Really stands out in the dark and there is no doubt that the alarm is armed! It is shown running in demo mode which goes through most of it's patterns, but I usually leave it set to just a single pattern. And yes, I know about the other Knight Rider Svx mods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1MxYFqJR-8 Last edited by ZMan; 08-21-2009 at 03:38 PM.

Re: SVX Grille Lights
I like it! What alarm system are you using? How did you modify the grill?

Re: SVX Grille Lights
OK, the light bar I got off Ebay - 22 in. long, a perfect fit.
Drilled a 3/4 in. hole at each end of the grille. - should have taken pictures. Slid the light bar into the grille and attached it inside with a plastic epoxy - it is a stick of epoxy in 2 parts you knead together to mix - has the consistency of clay. After it hardens I sealed the ends with a small piece of aluminum tape thats used for home a/c also a little RTV around where the ribbon wire exits. Any alarm that has either a 12 volt or ground when armed will work. - Ed

Re: SVX Grille Lights
Found the green LED light Bar at Knightlight.co.uk HERE. A little pricey at $161.00 plus shipping.
Also available in blue, yellow and red for your viewing pleasure .

Re: SVX Grille Lights
Here are the specs and additional photos:
Total width including polycarbonate: 486mm (19") Depth: 58mm (2.25") Height: 6mm (.25"), 10mm on the larger circuit board (0.4") Scanner Light Width: 448mm (17.75") Scanner Light Height: 6mm (.25") 64 LED / 17,000mcd / super bright, brightest and most powerful LEDs available Power consumption: (when running single bar pattern.) <110mA (A 12W bulb, like an indicator bulb, is 1000mA, which uses almost 10 times more power) ......  ......  ......  Probably the easiest thing to do in cut the bottom of the grille out, attach the LED assembly directly to it and reseal. .

Re: SVX Grille Lights
I found out that the people I got the red light bar also had it in green as well as the blue.
Here's the green in my polo green '96: Last edited by ZMan; 09-16-2009 at 08:58 PM.
