So you bought yourself a JC scanner or made your own scanner "box" now how do you get it to work with bigger light bulbs ? Well here's how you do it..... This took me some time to figure out, I was told to use SCR's but they never worked so I stopped taking everyone else's advice and fried several electronic parts myself until I got to this final version. It was never tested with halogen bulbs just regular car bulbs but theoretically you should be able to if you heat sink the transistors. Regular bulbs work just fine in my scanner and are plenty bright, even in direct sunlight so its your choice........ The diodes were used to prevent frying your scanner box either during the testing phase or actual operation, it saved my box a few times.....
