Let Other Drivers Know How You Really Feel

Ice 05-30-2008

How many times have you had someone riding a bit too close to your bumper that you’ve wanted to tell off? Sure, you could always flip them the bird, but if they’re not paying enough attention to you, they might not notice. So why not put a nice light-up sign in the back of your car that can let them know how you really feel with the push of a button?

This little device goes in the back window of your car and can be made to emote things like “Thanks”, “Sorry” and well, flip them the bird for you. Of course there’s a good chance that when you flip this thing on, you’re going to make their driving even worse. Pick one of these up for around $50.

lol naw cause the people behind me might get scared if I put a light that says "break check in progress"

Nina

I would proably freak out laughing if I saw this while driving, but yeah I want one of these and they even work during the day too, makes it even more useful.

Raven

Ok Hsool and Sin I need you 2 to be able to change the colors on this thing. The red is cool for Dreanna but I need something a little more different.

orange

Raven, shouldn't be too hard.. just need to swap the LED's around

if hsool or sinny know soldering then its all good



i wonder if its possible to program new phrases

hugo281

who knows dude maybe!! and hell yeah that's a good idea too

Hsoolien

Swapping in new LED's isn't as simple as changing the colour sometimes Orange, different coloured LED's often have different voltage/amp requirements. there are LED's out there's who's normal use specs fry other colours of the same size/brightness

Dream

That's proably why she asked you ahead of time to be able to change the led for mroe colors for.

Raven

I know Sin can solder becuase he's always modding game consoles, pc and tvs.

GIR

you dont really need to change the LED, depending on the colour, it is read, and a there is a flat piece of plastic in front of it to protect them? if there is then change the colour of the plastic, if the LED is red, get a blue plastic face plate. the darker the blue the more Violet it will look. but the darker you go may hinder the distance where people can see it during day time.

its a lot easyer to do that. or even get some of the coloured plastic paper that they use for stage lights to change colour and cut the shape and stick it to it.

Raven

Oh yeah I forgot about that. That would make it alot easier but I'll let one of them open it up first, I have a tendency of nreaking things when i try to look inside.

GIR

Hsoolien is right there is diffrent voltage for them, and there is not many colours, i think its only 6 colours before you have to use multi-colour LEDs to make others. heck to make White like one was is useing the primal colours, RBG.

spawnschickishot

omg that is sooo kute i would buy it!!

Jessica

I like the one that you can give someone the finger but it would be better if you can actually program what you want and like Raven said option in colors.

orange

i hadn't thought about that..

plus aren't there some VERY small LED's that are capable of any-color.. therefore the voltage/amperage would be controlled internally.


just realised its probably similar to what Gir was talking about, an LED with 3 pigments, like a single-pixel on a monitor (RGB)
