Like I said before, there haven't been any government task-forces hunting timer circuits.

There have been government task-forces for automotive lighting modifications.

Plenty of schools ask their pupils to build clocks and timers...

I dont know of any schools that ask students to replace tail lights with LEDs.

So there are OBVIOUS NON EDUCATIONAL motives behind certain tasks.

You can not cover your hiney when it comes to automotive lighting modifications.

As I think you said before, if they want to learn, they will. The problem is, if you know how to actually help them, then turn them away and they learn the wrong thing somewhere else, you have done them, and yourself, and injustice.

I think it would be far better to have told the person you are referring to how to do the right job, then caution them on going ahead with it by letting them know the pitfalls and associated dangers.

 

Me, I'll keep on writing articles. I love the 1st Amendment. I love all 10 of em, except the one that allowed for Income Tax.

 

The rules are what they are on this site. On AAC the site owners and the moderators. Have come to the conclusion that it is best to not discuss some topics on the board. Most of the topics that are banned. Are banned due to safety reasons. Maybe some of the rules are somewhat over the top. But I support the automotive rules. In this case I think it is best to not help. As a protective measure.

 

Bill,

The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments, doesn't mention income tax. You have to look at 11 through 26.

 

The Automotive lighting subject is all about safety. There was an accident recently, within the last six months, where a "big foot" style truck was in an accident, where they couldn't see. It was in the dallas newspaper. The paper cited that vehicle lighting has a max and minimum height ... which the vehicle failed to be within specifications.

The vehicle involved in the accident wasn't a real bigfoot ... as seen here

Now, I hadn't realized that Texas had their own specifications, and I don't know if they differ from the U.S. specifications. Couple that tidbit with the number of states and the number of countries in the worldwide forum. I would not even venture a guess at all the specifications we would have to adhere to when answering automotive lighting questions. I doubt the OP even considers the specifications when they ask their question.

All the OP knows it what they want to do is cool.

Yeah, tired computing again.

 

This is a true story. In these days of "terror", people have given in to the fact that, in order to attend a large public event, your person is searched for 'weapons'.

A man and his son went to a baseball game. The first 1000 people through the gate would get a real baseball bat like the ones used by the players. At the entrance people were being asked to empty their pockets and women to open their purses. The security guards confiscated the mans pocket knife(about 2inches long) and when the man objected he was told it could be used as a lethal weapon. He was then handed a baseball bat and told to enjoy the game.

Ironic what we accept in the name of 'safety' is it not?

 

If he smacked the guard with the bat and took his knife back, you can be sure the guards outlook would have changed.

The mans outlook would have changed too.. He would be looking out of cell bars

 

That reminds me of "the kid from brooklyn"'s rant a few years ago:
