LED tire pressure lights alternative to TPMS
just read about new product that work just like TMPS...they are tire valve caps with a tiny computer inside each of the caps that register the optimal pressure level & light up when the pressure drops by 4psi.
Check out www.terrapass.com/green-store/save-fuel ...click on "buy energy saving product link" from list then look for "LED alert tire pressure indicators"...a cheap alternative for aftermarket wheels
...I don't work for this company, just wanted to pass on info.

The problem with them is that they stick out past the wheel. Therefore if you are parallel parking and hit a curb, it will rip off your valve. There goes the air your tire.
Another problem is that they will get stolen. My plain metallic caps were stolen off my car, so I am sure your led lit caps will get stolen too.

They have something similar to that but doesnt use leds. Cheaper too my co-worker has one. I just use my trusty tire pressure gauge everytime i go to get gas. gives me something to do instead of standing there looking like a dork waiting the pump to stop.
