I have a small red light that I want to install so i can see "brakes on" in my videos.
i will mount the light onto my Hot Lap display. What are the wires to take power/ground from on top of the tunnel harness? ( colors? ) '74 tub... KT |

I'd probably want to make it as small, and unobtrusive as possible. I think I'd rather rig up a small LED and place it behind me in such a way that the camera sees it, but I don't. Nothing more distracting than diving into turn 1 under brakes and see a red light near the dash. Even if I know what it is...
I'm sure others have their own philosophy about dash instrumentation. But for me, on the track, I wouldn't want any lights going on or off in my field of view unless they're lights that are telling me something IMPORTANT. How about a small red LED for brakes, and wire up a bar graph LED to a Throttle Position Sensor on the throttle shaft. Then you've got telemetry!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -Josh2 |
