Hello. I am trying to modify a prebuilt circuit I'm working on. Basically this unit is a "scanner" for a Knight Rider replica. I bought the control box from JC Whitney (see link). Anyway, the following is what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to add one effect and modify the other. The effect I would like to add is what is reffered to as the "all on" effect. The following you tube link will give an example... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEkjbvH8bKE
Watch the video from 1:26 to see what I am talking about. As you can see from the video all lights on the bar come on and then start "scanning". The second thing I would like to do is have my current light bar, which looks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2OUOjDxBr0&context=C36aa856ADOEgsToPDskJmq98DRrtpJILK_4zuIX9M to give off a better trailing or "comet tail" effect as seen in the first video. I am new to electronics so I really need some help on this one. I am told the trailing effect can be done with capacitors but I have no idea which ones to get and whether or not I can just wire them in-line with the wires to the light bar. I also have no idea how the "all on" effect can be done. Plus I would also like to upgrade to brighter bulbs.Thanks for any help you guys and gals can give.
