Cheap Faux Alarm Blinking Red Light

I've installed this in many cars, red blinking light (security) that comes on when key is off and goes off when key is on, looks like a security light. Mount the LED where it can easily be seen from the outside of car, from the driver's side window.

B+ ---------> 470 ohm ----------> blinking red LED ----------> B+
constant_____.5 watt resistor_____RS #276-036, 5mm________w/KOEO

B+ constant: constant power = brakelights.
B+ w/KOEO: power when key on engine on.

You can by a 5 pack of the 5mm holders to mount the led on the dash, goes between the bulb and dash. Looks very realistic, cheap mod, < $5 total. Use a 1/4 inch drillbit to drill hole.

I too have it in my gauge cluster, I just would like one on each door panel near the window for added protection. Found this and thought it seemed like a cool little way to make me feel better about my car.

I dislike to read "cheap" and "Solara" in the same sentence :P :lol:

You can do one with a 5mm LED, a relay, 470 Ohms 1/4W. It will stop to light when you turn the key. Or buy one already made for some bucks.

I have a OEM alarm LED in my RPM gauge cluster.
But then again i have a aftermarket alarm wit a blue LED.
And my white reverse glow gauges cover the OME ones.
