Hey everyone...I really want to add a few LEDs for headlights and taillights. But I got to thinkin', I don't want to have to switch them on or put a piece of paper between the new CR2032 battery. Shouldn't it be possible to take a lead from the wires running to the motor and attach them to the LEDs so that they would turn on every time the car is in motion? I know that this would result in a shorter run time, but I think it would be a great mod.
With that in mind, I opened my GT-R up and found a couple wires (blue and white) going to the motor. They ran to the board and attached to two points labeled "F" and "B". (Assuming Forward and Backward) If I am correct, those should be positive wires carrying the charge to the motor. I found the GND wire that attached to the board too. So assuming this would work, I touched the positive lead on the LED to the 'F' wire (positive) and the negative lead on the LED to the GND wire from the board. I then pressed forward on the control, but it didn't light up. (I tried the same for the backwards function.) So, it's not working as I thought it would. I'm not a electrition or anything, but shouldn't it have worked?Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Maybe someone more electrically inclined can try this out and let the rest of us know. Thanks!
