An interesting potential update to the DeLorean
I'm in!
Me too
Very interested
There is not much I can do about reducing wiring changes. The side lights need to have power to flash when the lights are off. And I turn the ground side of those side lights on and off to make them flash.
I have almost caught up on other things so I did start entering the schematic and ordered some parts.
I'd be up for it. I would just need a lot of walkthrough. I always drive with all of my lights on because I heard it reduces your chances of an accident by like 5% (not DeLorean study, I assume it was Honda Civics?).
I have a board (PCB) laid out. I tried to look for screw terminals to install on the board but then because those are so large, I could not just have the board covered with heat shrink.
So right now I just have 4 through hole pads (for 16 AWG wire) laid out on the left side and 4 also on the right side (for the side lights + and - wires). The left side is left blinker, right blinker, lights and ground.
I'm using Schottky diodes so the voltage loss should only be about 0.2 volts with LED side lights and 0.4 volts with incandescent side light.
My plan is to solder about a foot of wire into each of the 8 holes. So the user would not have to solder but use crimp splices to his harness. I could also sell without the wires if you want to solder your own into the board.
If you have any other suggestions, let me know. I may get one prototype which cost me about $75 or just get 100 production boards which cost $425.
I'm interested Dave, will probably order a few sets from you when they're ready.

100 boards ordered this morning. Will take about 2 weeks to receive them.
