theksmith 2,220 Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM we were doing #throwbackthursday photos on the Facebook group with "when you got it" versus now shots... Gadget's grown pretty slowly over the past 5 1/2 years, but i'm really happy with how she looks and performs now! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theksmith 2,220 Posted yesterday at 01:05 AM (edited) added a chase light (a.k.a. dust light) to my rear license plate / rear camera / 3rd brake light assembly... before: after (with chase light on): after (with brake light on): i swapped my previous 20-LED Custom Dynamics Red Truflex strip for one of their 40-LED Dual Color Truflex. the new one does amber for the chase light or red for the 3rd brake light. it was a fairly quick project. first, i made a wider mounting plate out of aluminum, painted it and also refreshed the paint on my license plate frame. i had to run an additional wire from my relay/fuse box to the back. that feed for the chase light was run through the N/C contacts of a standard 5-pin 12-volt relay. the relay's coil is triggered by the brake light so that the chase light cuts out whenever the brake is pressed. then i just needed to change out my JST connector from a 4-pin to a 5-pin (the round connector is for the camera): and to wrap it all up, i bought a new custom switch faceplate from CH4x4 for that spot in my DIY switch-panel. i'm not sure this is actually going to be visible in the dust during bright daylight, but at least all the wiring is done now if i want to add something brighter.
