    Could you get some Night Rider action action going? Now that would be sweet!
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......

    Can't do night rider unless you replace the entire 3BL, and ours isn't friendly for replacement. You would have to dremel out your old one, and swap out a new board... We were originally going to make one, but the VX just isn't a good candidate. We have a model that we sell for the standard GM 3BL (H2, Suburban, escalade, jimmy, blazer, tahoe etc.) all use it.

    But we can't control each individual LED with its current configuration... So we're limited to different all ON/OFF and percentages of brightness. (which is still cool)

    As for Reverse light, it would work for that, would require some relays but would definitely work. Once we release them I'll include a wiring diagram for use with reverse lights as well.

    :THREAD RESURRECTION:

    Had an idea for the third brake light-- and thought this might be a good place to put it. But I was thinking it would be really cool of the third light would be pressure sensitive. Like the harder you brake the brighter it lights up. How hard do you think that would be to do?

    Honestly I have no idea probably not a good idea to tap into anything electronic on the brakes so you'd have to install a switch at the brake pedal which might be a bit difficult. And probably not a lot of people would do.

    hmmm.... Have to think about that one.

    I think you would have to tap into the brake lines somewhere, or maybe the master cylinder, with a pressure sensitive switch to make that work.
    I don't know if such a thing even exists...just thinkin' out loud...

    Yeah we have nightrider style lighting with 16 different patterns for several different vehicles. They could be retrofit in the Vehicross, but our 3BL isn't a good candidate. you'd be better off mounting one elsewhere.
