    Thumbs up Quicktime movie of animated alarm warning LEDs

    Hopefully these will deter the next would-be window smasher.

    This is a Quicktime movie. After my VX was broken into (passenger side window smashed), I installed custom "chaser" LEDs in each side window of my VX. The LEDs are tied to my new Clifford Matrix RS-3 alarm. They are much brighter looking than in this video. I installed them myself and hooked them up to the alarm's ground-when-armed wire. That was a chore and a half! FYI, the ground-when-armed wire is normally connected to the starter disable. When you attach an accessory to this wire, you need to put a 1-amp diode in-line between the starter disable and the alarm control unit, otherwise you'll get a constant ground leak even when the alarm is not armed... consequently running your accessory, (such as these LEDs), at all times. That took me a while to track down.
