Knight Rider K.I.T.T. LED Scanner Bar Build/Install Thread

[89Suburban]

I am in contact with the guy who builds these light bars for www.knightridershop.com . He is going to custom build one for me to install on Silvy. With the correct grille angle and to try and match the grille slot openings. Hashing out the details in emails right now. He sent me a photoshop posted below. But I plan to put it above the bumper in the lower row of grille openings as shown in the last pic. The official size of the actual K.I.T.T. car scanner is 15". Mine will be 19" to match up with the ends of the 4 center grille holes.

That will be a lot of $$$$. But he can do it.

Height of the scanner is 1 3/8" X 1 1/4" deep.

How much is it going to be for only 4? I'm with Jim, I think it will look better all the way across.

Prices shipped including controller:

19" 30 LED = $250
29" 30 LED = $275
39" 64 LED = $335

That's a lot of votes for all the way across! I'm just worried about the sweep being that long, might look funny?

I think you need help.

I think all depends on how fast or slow the lights switch from one end to the other. if its any close to what your sig pic speed moves I think it will be fine.

I asked him if he can get me a vid of the LARGEST LIGHT BAR and I'll make a decision from there. Thanks fro the opinions, especially YOU Retro.

Hmm, I'm kinda thinking the 29 inch one would look the coolest. Kitt had it going across a large part of the front end, but not all the way to the headlights (or where they would be).

And yeah, you do need help. But we all do

Go all the way or go home! Advice for this situation, and Junior Prom.

Kitt's light bar seems to be close to a third of the total width of the front end. I'm probably going to try and keep that proportion.
