Hey, my car keeps getting broken into and I don't have money for an alarm right now. I was wondering what I needed and how I would go about putting in a fake alarm light to deter theives. Thanks

You could probably buy a "blinking LED" from some place like radioshack. Something like this but smaller: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&catalog_name=CTLG&category_name=CTLG_011_006_002_000&product_id=276-308
Then just buy a little switch and some wire, and wire it to a constant power source (somewhere that has power even with the car off). You could go to radioshack or a place like that; and ask a sales associate about what LED to get and tell him what you're planning to do and they should be able to help you.
