I remember seeing a Knight Rider Type light kit in an electronics parts
catalog a few years back (All Electronics?) for around 30 bucks...  Looking
on Google, I bumped into
http://www.knightlight.co.uk/knight-rider-lights-products.htm

Too bad they are overcharging for the one that fits into a Trans Am.  They
have one for a drive bay for 37 bucks though....
