I don't think you should be running if they start to chase...

You may be able to outrun the Ford, but you will never be able to outrun the Motorola.

Ask the mymbonline.com guys who did a Sacramento to Berkeley caravan.....

Something about having their license plates called in rings a bell....

Thats the opposite of a good idea....

What I was thinking... I was hoping somebody just had LED license plate lights which were kinda dim.... like the stock 2008s. Maybe just with 1 or 2 LEDs? Anyone make them?

How did you wire this up? I was looking at this and found no easy way to do it. In my older car it was pretty simple but it was all just a bunch of simple circuits. I thought our cars were way more complicated even for just rear lights. Is there a place where I can splice all those wires at once? Got a quick guide?

Your 190E can do it.

pmann · 02-23-2009, 03:23 AM

My BMW can do that..... Just need to get the bugs worked out.

I used to lead a monthly caravan during the summer months, 30-50 cars in our main group, and the total caravan with other groups is in the range of 200+ cars. Once in a blue moon, nobody in our group got a ticket. Typically at least 1 or 2 people get ticketed. And being up front, I'm still only going 60mph on the freeway, they just have to get up to speed much faster to catch up since they're far behind / stuck behind a light etc.

LOL. I think the Loch Ness Monster is still trapped in there.

I did install new motor mounts and plugs today though so that was quite productive.

BcuzAWD · 02-23-2009, 03:27 AM

Brian i think jlevi sells LED license plate lights with only like 2/3 LED's in each housing.

Chowbow · 02-23-2009, 03:27 AM

I'm pretty sure it's raining all week
