So i ordered a plasmaglow knight rider scanner, came today. Got home from work and unpacked it and wanted to throw it at the wall lol. Was supposed to scan side to side and only goes in and out like the mustang kitt scanner yuk. It also doesnt work under my hood where i was gonna mount it so im sending it back tomorrow. Anyone know of one that isnt to expensive that i can mount like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JDH4Ztze8k

 

How about don't get one at all??? my opinion only.

 

I think it looks realy cool on gta's glowing from under the hood.

 

Well, uh......yeah it looks kinda neat. But thats not the way it is supposed to be mounted. To do it "right" you would need a different nose on your car

 

Google "Advanced Designs in Automotive Technology"

 

cool in the mid-eighties, but probably overplayed by now.

 

Personaly, I dont wanrt a replica, but I would like the nose piece and the smoked out tail lights. But it would be Maui Blue, the nose, not the light cover....LOL

 

I would email, send a private message, or however you get in contact with whoever posts videos on youtube and ask them where they got it from. That doesn't illuminate like any scanner I've seen. Usually 1 or 2 inch sections of the scanner light up at a time.

 

knight-f2k4.com is a very nice place to buy one. the offer it in an LED version, or the regular haolgen version.

 

the one from the website you linked does look nice but wont work for the application im trying to get. I like how in the guys video it only shines thru the crack between the bumper and hood. Thats what i want, you dont know theres a scanner there till its turned on. His when you look close almost looks like one of those led strips attached right to the under lip of the bumper. But those things dont scan like that. Im stumped

 

dam i just found the scanner he used http://www.knightlight.co.uk/pr-ks4164.asp but the site says they are out of stock and have no plans on restocking them

 

Check here, I think you will find what you want. http://www.adiautotech.com/

 

thanks but not what im looking for at all. Im not trying to make a kitt replica with modified bumper just the light thats made to sit under the hood and glow between the crack. The company that makes them responded to an email saying they arent in enough demand to keep them stocked but they make them per order now. So im just waiting for a price.

 

I like it too.. the one in the video. Keep us posted if find something.

 

pretty cool idea, i wouldnt mind one on my white ta

 

i was thinking an LED strip in the crack.
maybe something from here

I have that scanner (in blue) and it is the one from the United Kingdom link above.
There is no other like it that fit under the hood. I got mine a few years ago when they were still making them regularly.

 

That does look very cool. I'm impressed. It's a very nice thing to have if you're not in for an actual replica.

@thegoochking:
Would you mind posting how much they ask for if you wanna have one made? I'm very interested.

 

yea the one from uk that is made to go right under the hood is the one i realy want. They emailed me back saying they only make them per order now but do still make them. I asked how much they are and never heard back again soooo im still looking for an alternative

 

I emailed them also and their reply is below:

try brennon he makes great knight rider stuff
http://www.knight-f2k4.com/

the led scanner comes with a turbine sound effect opition and alot of scanning sequences

 

i bought my scanner from this TXKNIGHTRIDER82 on ebay. he makes excellent bright scanners for reasonable price. contact him or i will.

 

Years ago I custom fit the light JC Whitney used to sell into my Iroc-Z. It worked great! Now I'm looking to do it again! Let me know if anyone has the JC Whitney one with the control box that works and I'll buy it! Thanks!
