iceman1575 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 In two of the three states I travel/live in, it's perfectly legal to have solid blue exterior lights on your license plate, but the other one I travel to more frequently, it's illegal to have red or blue lighting on the exterior (yet they allow any other colors). I'd love to be able to use whichever in the state they are legal in (white or blue), so I'm thinking about purchasing some LED strips, but not sure how the best way to control it would be. Do they make a 12v mode switch? One position feeds to one output, the other position feeds to a separate output? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks Quote POTATO!

bre2ts Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yea I think a switch would be the best/simpliest way to control them Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZTYBRN Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Sounds like you're looking for a SPDT switch (single pole, double throw.) You'll probably want it to be "on-off-on." So when it's at the center it's off, then up or down will decide which lights are on. They do have some at radio shack, here But you'll probbably find better and/or cheaper ones on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
