Default Compustar Alarm

I just got one installed today and I really like it, it gives me a much greater sense of security since I park outside. I have on question though and maybe I'm just paranoid....There has been a small LED intalled that blinks once every second while the alarm is armed. How long would it take for this small blinking light to completely drain the battery to the point I can't start the car?

Maybe like 200 years. Its an led light, it uses so little power that you dont have to worry about it.

Yea, it will never drain the battery. I actually am running two LED's for the alarm, just a little added security so people know what is up.

Great thanks guys. How long does it take one of these LEDs to burn out? When they do, I'll probably get more than 1 for added security like you said.

Hey thanks! It's actually more of a light green, that's what I registered it as for the DMV. Alot of my friends say it's blue too, and I'm always trying to tell them it's light green lol.

Hey thanks. Yea, I like the rims too, they are subtle but look sweet with the color. They look real nice when I put a fresh coat of tire shine on too. If you were wondering they are the OEM rims from the 7th gen EXs I believe. They would look sweet on your black car too... I always see 01-05 EXs with REALLY dirty wheels that look like they have never been washed. Like that, they look like any other cheap OEM rim. But when you actually take care of them and clean them, they shine up real nice, especially when you shine the tires too.
