Angry Prevent H.I.D theft!!!!!

Hey guys,
I am a loyal buyer from Ramsey Acura (my neighbor is the G.M) but i checked out Park Ave's Website for Comptech stuff and I came upon a shock sensor for the headlights of the TL. Im sick of seeing headlights stolen from our cars. Good luck!! And if you ever catch anybody doin that crap...Kick the crap out of em!!!

That price seems kinda high but you must take into account the labor form the dealer. I just wonder how much the shock sensor part itself is. I also wonder who makes the sensor part. With my Clifford alarm I have 3 sensors to detect/motion or movement.
#1 Digital/Tilt Motion: that dectects slightest forward or reverse rolloing or lifting.#2 Dual-Zone Omni Sensor: vibration/impact sensor thats gives full alarm or warning tone. #3 Dual -Zone Digital Proximty Sensor4: movement-dectecting radar sensor w/full alarm or to close warning tone. I forget how much the Omni Sensor cost me because it was an option on my model.
I see other guys on here are now adding Single Stage Sensor to the factory alarm. I think some were having problems with the Dual Stage from DEI. The thing I like about mine is that I can adjust the snsors with the remote control anytime I want. I guess I will have to have it set to the highest settting when I come to N.Y. Metro area. When I go up to my Aunts house in Kirkwood N.Y. I wonder if people even lock their doors.

The part is around $15. Someone had posted an URL to the website, do a search.

I'm taking my car into PAA on thursday for some stuff, I inquired about the shock sensor.. It's more like a regular shock sensor for the car, although it's sensitive enough to sound if you hit the front end(head lights)..Only problem I have is my Factory alarm horn isn't the same horn on the car, it's a weak japanese sounding honk...gotta figure out how to change that..I'll probably get it from them too..

you can basically add any kind of sensor, in my case I just used a dual stage shock. If you like try a motion or proximity or shock. if you want to pay little more www.crutchfield.com has a dual stage shock sensor and glass tamering sensor for 39.95.
