I think, just get 2 blinking LED. 1 for left, another for right, tap the electric from constant 12v then add a 1k resistor. Should be working.

alternative, go get the circuit for the LED to blink blink, then link it up and install it on your dashboard :D

using the self blinking led will be much easier..doesnt need any circuit to make.

ooo nice. good for making people think that you have sum super high tech alarm system !:cool:

some blinking LEDs can even change colors!!

Blinking LEDs? Won't be a little Ah Beng? These days, people will know that blinking LEDs are usually associated with cheap alarm systems. The good ones are stealth. No blinking LEDs or visible sensors.

my stock alarm also blinking wat...like that also ah beng ar

 

[khguan]

my stock alarm LED not blinking liao... seems like it upgrades itself to "good ones" liao.. hahahaha!! :D

 

[jaywat]

hahaha...damn it

If the colour is red or green, it is ok. Not those blue or white LEDs... damn bright! Telling the whole world that you have a cheap alarm system...

My CCTV-in-a-car project is almost complete. Now doing some test. No need for shit alarm system when u can record the activity status of the car 24x7 wirelessly.

 

[khguan]

wah.. wirelessly? cool!!

 

[jaywat]

woohhh cool...share share info when u finish the project ar :D

For your sentra, I thought the blinking LED is telling us that the immobiliser is on.. not the alarm coz when you remove your keys and close the door, the light will start to blink...

 

[resilienthunter]

no for the immobiliser the alarm will beep once after 30s..(u can only hear it if ur inside..) ..jus to show that the immobiliser activated..

blinking light means the alarm is armed..

hey peepss....

i have done this blinking LED project two years back when my car didnt have an alarm...did it with a fren coz his car didnt have one too..but now its way much easier with the blinkin LED'S where u dun need a circuit..saves alot of time trust me;)
ya me think 2 blue LED at the side is a bit AH BENG..no offence please just an opinion...if u want ur LED'S to look like an hi tech alarm just add on a delay circuit so the light tempo is different frm normall....way to go guysss....mine just added a motion sensor couple of months back...will update if theres any project anytime soon
