Lighting help (a bit complicated)

[IceDragon]

Ok so this is what i want to do, I wnat to put some pictures in my car, but I want them to be hidden until I flip a switch that somehow flips on a light or something that makes them visible at like night or just when its dark in the car maybe even, can someone please help me???

Ah! A picture of someone else driving for the red light cameras! Crafty.

What the devil are you talking about? What sort of pictures? Where in the car?

well, I have one of those 2 single din spot trims in, because i swapped out my old deck so now I have a whole din freaking open to the world... so, I was like, it would be cool if I could put something down there, like some sort of picture that when I flip a switch, it turns on some light, and the light makes it so the picture is finally visible, but see... i have no freaking clue how to do it...
Anyone care to put forth ideas??? I really want to do this and I've only seen it once... and thats at like, fun houses and stuff when your in there and looking into a mirror and suddenly bam... theres someone on the otherside!!! so if anyone has any ideas, please say it...

Tinted Lexan panel and a bright enough light on the picture to get the image to shine through when lit.

There is always the very expensive, but undeniably cool option of using electronic privacy glass. Here is a link, though it is made my many companies under various trade names. http://www.switchlite.com/home.html

dude, that light things is awesome, where can i order some and get more info on it than that site? and thanks highpsi man... I know my ideas are crazy, but when they work out, they are freaking great, aren't they?

What would be awesome is if you could install that privacy glass in place of all your regular windows. It's like tint, but at the flip of a switch you can go to clear.

Those are a few more links I've kept around for the privacy glass. Just run a google search for electronic privacy glass, or for any of the trade names you find on those sites or electrochromic glass.
