I probably have those heritage windows somewhere still!


Sweet, I still have my Heritage. Even built a new garage just for it.

Nice, been a long time since I posted on the forums. Had trouble with sign on for awhile, and basically gave up. Decided to drop in and check on things. Nice to see you are bringing another one back to life.

Electrical Tech / 4 eye projector lights
I have had some troubles logging in to the site. Haven't heard back from the seller yet, but I placed another call to them today. The company that manufactures them is JW Speaker. The specs are as follows:

Product Specifications:

Light Source: Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Output: Raw: 1,300 Lumens; Effective: 750 Lumens (Low)
Raw: 1,300 Lumens; Effective: 850 Lumens (High)
Input Voltage: 12-24V DC
Current Draw: 3.6 Amps @ 12V; 1.5 Amps @ 24V (Low Beam)
3.6 Amps @ 12V; 1.5 Amps @ 24V (High Beam)
Lens: Tempered Glass
Housing: Die-Cast Aluminum

Standards & Compliance:

DOT Approved - FMVSS 108 (On-Road Illumination)
Transport Canada Approved - CMVSS 108 (On-Road Illumination)
ECE Reg. 112 (Headlamps)
Buy America Compliant
Sealed to IP67

I have located a source online that sells them, but they are showing the low beams, and the high beams. Not the combination high/low. They have them listed at $390 a piece. Here is a pic of them.

Received a reply from the manufacturer. They confirmed they are in fact an H4 style connector, and gave me a "local" (as in in another state) source from which to purchase them. Due to the holidays, I haven't had time to call and ask about the price.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I have come across a source that manufactures 4 x 6 projector lights. Not the cheap Chinese imitations you can get on e-bay that actually make things worse, but actual projector lights. The metal retaining buckets will need to be seriously modified as the light is completely square. The light itself is capable of both high and low beam, and uses LEDs as the light source. I have contacted the company to see where they are able to be purchased, how much they retail for, and what type of connection it uses. I am thinking it is an H4 connector since that seems to be what most of their other lights use. This company also makes a lot of aftermarket lights for Harley Davidson motorcycles, and are located in the US. When I found out more I will gladly post an update.

Using anything to that needs to be connected to a computer for programming is out. We need something that is simple and field servicable without any major "tools", and that includes a laptop. The project we are building is a starting gate for a motocross track. We are making it as a practice gate to get a better hole shot. After we present the project, it is going to be partially buried out in the middle of a field at the guys house who is part of our group. Good thing is he is footing the bill for everything since he will be keeping it.

So the "plan" I have come up with is to use a randomizing IC such as a decade counter, and tie the outputs of it to a NOTC (normally open timed closed) relay. They each have a 5 second delay. So for 5seconds use 1, 10 seconds use 2 etc...

We are going put all electric components in a waterproof box, run the wires out and silicone the holes around the wires.

Don't have a working schematic yet, but hope to by the end of the week so we can start assembly and testing next week.

Here is what I am trying to do.

Using a 2 button remote and transmitter (similar to remote lock unlock), I would like to use 1 button to activate a random timer (5-15) seconds. That timer would then power a linear actuator for approx. 5 second. After that 5 seconds I would like everything to reset until the button is pushed again.

The second button would be used to activate a car starter. This time amount should be adjustable for fine tuning.

I would like to keep everything 12v for simplicity as the device will need to be portable where there is no electricity.

It is a project I am working on to get my Mechanical Engineering degree. Any help would be appreciated. If anymore info is needed, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but that looks like a picture of the xbox releasing with the Natal project, which has since been renamed, kinect.
