Default I rewired my lighted dice!! (insert Tool Man grunts...)

My blue lighted dice were too dark, so I rewired them...

First, I disassembled and sanded OFF the blue paint covering the inside bulbs. Used 600 grit sandpaper. Worked very nicely.

BUT, that was NOT enough.

Using a strobe kit that I got at Auto Zone ($10, selling on eBay for $25-$45!!), I bored out the hole on the dice with a 7/16" bit, replaced the stock wire with heavier stuff, added a lighter plug, and now have stroboscopic, BLUE, lighted dice..

Now I look like a snow-plow PT (blue flashing lights are on plows here, not emerg. vehicles)....

Wonder what I can get for these on line now?????

Next- wig-wag flasher for the tail/headlights.....

These are definitely, you guessed it, "Illegal in Utah!" No visual obstructions allowed in any windows! No flashing blue lights of any sort allowed at any time! And No fun items allowed in any manner which might distract us and ruin our impeccable driving records!

Hey Sean, with a little work, we could probably get some Halogens in there. Connect them to a small self contained generator (located in the cargo area).

Just for safety, we could weld some steel squares and paint them with factory spray. To prevent swinging, a holding bar could be spot-welded to the roof. This is do-able! (In your car of course).

Reese- this is a no-cost (or low cost) mod, the widow is fine with it! Besides, I vacuumed and did the cat box and yard wotrk on the weekend
