Title: front parking sensors
Post by: OMEGA VXR on 16 February 2009, 18:50:09

Is it possible to fit front parking sensors to my 1994 Miggy?

If so how is it done?

Cheers  :y

Here is what I did: I bought a simple device with 4 sensors which were all intended to be fitted to the rear of the car. The control unit was supossed to be conected to reverse lights. I fitted 2 sensors to the back, 2 to the front, got an additional timer. The timer receives signal from brake lights. Every time I brake it sends power to the sensors' control unit for pre-defined ammount of time (appx 5 seconds but is adjustable). For front sensors, I made from aluminium a special casing that they fit in. These alu holders were painted black and positioned in the plastic grilles next to fog lights - looks quite good.

Don't see why not... But why would you??? Front's easy to spot... Look through the big rectangular pane of glass in front of you :D :D :D :D :D

In all seriousness though... I fitted fron sensors to my Rangie and they came on every time you braked! It got so rather annoying I disconnected them ::) ::) ::) If you're going to fit them then I'd advise putting a switch in for them instead of wiring them to the brakelights as advised otherwise it'll get right on your moobs ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
