Hey guys Im new here and working on a project that has officially fallen out of my limited electric wiring knowledge.
In short, what I am trying to do is make it so when I press the gas pedal on my car, a set of leds mounted next to each exhaust pipe hole on the rear diffuser, will get brighter with more throttle.
The car I am working on is a 2010 camaro, it has an electronic throttle control system.
From the gas pedal there is a purple wire that sends the throttle input to the cars ECM.
How can I tap into this signal and use it to control the amount of voltage being delivered to my leds?
The desired effect is this, at idle with no throttle input you can see these orange leds I have already wired up to my license plate lights. When more throttle is applied a second set of orange leds will get brighter depending on the input. This will make the car look like it has afterburners.
Thank you for any help!
