my project is very strange and there is a LOT of adapting of things that havn't ever been done in combination before, in any car of this size.



do any of you know a forum that tailors to people who would know about this sort of stuff? most of these things are electrical, and with a current project im working on (fd tail lights) i need to know how to switch stock single bulb running/brake lights to accept two bulbs. (one for running, and one for brake)



please let me know, theres no way im going to let someone work on this for me

splice into the bulb that is now stop/running and run the same

2 filiment bulb in that socket



if the socket is different, get the same socket as the stop

if there is no stop/running light just splice into the wires

for each and run it too a 2 filiment bulb

yes the stockers are a dual filiment blub, with 3 wires. 1 ground, 1 high or turn signal, 1 low or parking, alls you gotta do is run the wire you choose to the blub you choose, and either run a fresh ground or split the stock ground.



my tr3 is wired like this, 1 blub for brakes, 1 blub for paking lights, 1 blub for turn signals, and no reverse lights.

im switching over to an led setup, and totally different tail light configuration, with styling from the 99 spec lights, just much much better.



thanks a lot, do you guys know of any website that may be able to help mewith other strange cpnversions?



top on the list, having small dc motors turn a screw to move things in the interior, fabricating a new switch panel for centrally mounted switches (cleaner interior)



hookups for a convertors to run a small desktop pc type machine (to be viewed by a monitor in dash) and i need some small programming of the computer.



i want to know if there is a way to convert an ignition system to keyless go. if so, how difficult?



lastly i wanna know where in hell to get an electronic shifter for automatics (if anyone watches american hotrod, they had one in one of the episodes) if i cant find it i need help wiring a shifter from another (more advanced car)



seems like a long list of random crap but it makes sense for my car. im currently in the process of redesigning the interior as well, thats why i need some of these things to be worked out
