Smart or stupid?
 

Would it be smart or stupid to get a flashing blue or red LED on my dash that acted as though I had an aftermarket alarm? I know, it may be rice, but if that alone to stop potential intruders, I'm thinking about doing it.

The way I see it, if a thief wants to get in your car, he will get in regardless of an alarm system or not. Hence the term "smash and grab".

The lights could possibly deter would-be-theives.

Best advice would be to not park your car in open areas, where attention can be drawn to your car.

This is what I'm thinking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12v-Red-Flas...-/150813630544

Only flashes when the key is off.

It would probably keep the "wannabe" thieves out. The ones that are real probably wouldn't worry about it.

Shit, I just saw I would need to drill, and I don't wanna do that. Onto the next one.

So...you're saying yes? and no?

The flashing light sounds like a great idea. It's a horrible idea.

I was just weighing out options..... I wasn't going to flat out tell the OP what to do haha
Personally I wouldnt do it, but to each his own... :thumbsup:

dont put anything in your car that they would want

there is immobilizer light flashing in the instrument panel right?
