The voltage regulator is rather basic electronics - essentially "in", "out" and "ground". The details of the entire camera installation are here on my webpage: House of RagE - Road RagE II

You can also save yourself some misery and try to locate a 7807 voltage regulator. That will save you having to mess around with resistors

DOH! I already soldered my voltage regulator 3 days ago. I just tested it tonight so I guess I'm gonna try using it. However, its quite long so I might stop by Radio Shack to look for the 7807 Voltage regulator. Do I still need to pin it out?

I doubt you would find one at RatShack, more of an electronics supply store type of thing (you know, what RatShack used to be). If the one you built tested as functional, I'd go with that (I did, in fact )

Thanks a bunch. Settles it. I'll go with the one I made.

And.. I couldn't agree more with you on Radio Shack. We used to call it Radio Crap in college. But for my purposes these days, I guess I don't much else..

If they only had brick and mortar stores, too.

Just read the whole thread... Great job!

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I'm having trouble with the voltage regulator. I've read through every thread I could find but still don't understand where it connects in line. Can anyone tell me which wires in the a-pillar connect to the 2 wires coming out the bottom of the regulator and what connects to the single wire coming out of the top of the regulator.

One other question. I'm using the 7806 +6V Voltage Regulator TO-220, so no resistors. Should I connect the 2 pins on the left together with a single wire coming out, and connect a single wire to the remaining pin?

Thanks
