Kind of off topic question, but it is electrical lighting.
I am underwhelmed with the BLIS. It works great but there is just not enough to it. When you want to change lanes you have to look for a small yellow light in the mirror and that is all you get. If you turn on your directional light when BLIS is active you do not even get an auditable alarm. You must remove your attention from straight ahead to find the small yellow light. This is made worse when it is bright daylight. Again it works alright but it could be so much better.
My dad bought a new Sante Fe and it gives you the camera shot of the blind spot when you turn on the blinker. This was outstanding.
With that said I would like to "tap into" the power line that gives power to the BLIS lights in the mirror. When they activate I would like to add a small LED light in each corner of the dash that also lights up alerting you that is activated without having to look at the side mirrors. This would let you keep your eyes looking somewhat forward and not having to strain to see if it is activated. The mirror and BLIS combo is good but I do not think a small LED notifying you BLIS is active would be a distraction. In fact I think it would help as father time is marching on.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this or if they think it is even possible. It seems fairly simple but perhaps I am unaware of issues it could create. Thanks for any reply.
