Default What is this?

Found this under my seat today, it was unplugged so I plugged it in as the wire was right next to it. Any one know what it is? I have no idea

I didn't realise any difference at all. Was just curious what it was. The wiring seems to go to the back off the car.

Also I've got this switch and I really want to know what it does. It's doing my head in What could it be? I'm starting to think its just there to look pretty

You have got to be gutted when you find out that the previous owner of your motor had neons fitted to the car, what else has the mentalist done to it, thats what I'd be thinking!!

I'd check for a NOS bottle hidden somewhere, one of those crazy contraptions that adds 100bhp to your motor from eBay that costs a tenner and ***** your car up and maybe a duck dumpvalve under the hood!!

Thats front fogs next to it. Imports never had rear fogs, so an aftermarket one would have been fitted to pass an MOt, so that switch probably is for the rears.

Perhaps tracing where the wire goes may help?

well you got two thermal controller chips on the right, what looks like a timer chip on the top and your voltage controller.

Only reason you would have a setup like that is to output various levels of voltage at given intervals so most likely neons.

if its a flamer kit there will be a spark plug in your exhaust somewhere if im right it will be near the back and when you rev and flick the switch it will spark and light up

i think correct me if im wrong!!

Just tried it and nothing I think it might be a flamer kit but someones just cut the power wire. There are 3 cigerette light plugs that need plugging in but I don't have a cigerette lighter as its been taken out. Anyone got one for sale? I want to know what it is lol

When I was tracing the wires I came across this gadget hiden under my seat. Its some think to do with A/V but no idea what... any ideas?



Sorry for the crap pics. Whatever it is its Panasonic, I can't power it up because i need cigerette lighter
