I would like to install a LED in my 98 GST on the top of the inside driver door (I want it to stare right at a *!@#^! theif as they look in the car - my Talon had the divers door broken out twice). I don't have an aftermarket alarm, but I do have the factory alarm. I may end up getting an aftermarket alarm install in the near future.
It doesn't really matter if the LED blinks (I would perfer that, how much harder would that be to pull off?) or not. It would be cool if I could get the LED to activate when I set the factory alarm, but that would be too much work. How do you guys suggest I power this? The car has power door locks/windows - I was thinking I could just tap into one of these.
I don't really know much about electronics, is there a certian voltage LED I should get? Will I need to put a resistor in line? I am thinking that where ever i tap into, the LED will be on all the time, this won't put too much of a strain on the battery will it?
Thanks guys.
