Interior LED Overhaul

so when do those come on?......ive always thought of adding one there but didnt want it to stay on with the headlights....people always grab the locker to open the door.

 

i guess that would work... when you turn off the car they light up for a few seconds.....clever

 

I love that mod. were did you get such a small LED with housing? what color? ive all the lights in my car changed to LED's, i want to do the footwells also , i could never think of what to wire the relay to but the ignition light is perfect! might wire the footwells to the door though

 

Are they prewired with a resistor?

EDIT: just bought them. cant wait till i get to the stage to fit them!

 

Sweet, ill probably be doing mine a little different, i plan on using the door so if the drivers door opens the drivers foot well lights up , same with the passengers side, but ill have it also wired so when the overhead light turns on they all turn on, what ya think?

Im also going to hide them behind the plastic were they wont be seen

 

Defo the boot needs to be lit up. really do like this idea. Also want to put them in the glove box when it opens. But ill have an LDR so they dont come on when its day time.

 

Gotta love LED's


They're a brilliant invention that's low powered with brightness and different colours and they last for eons whether it be your house, torch, car or whatever.

 

Led are good in our days I had a golf which had the same set-up too.But used normal 12v gloves and all where hidden under seats under the dash all worked with door switch I also might just go the same way again for the door handle's I would have cut a square hole used a reflector type of material like marker lamp.

 

Are you using normal LEDs or diffused ones?
They look like the normal ones but you can never tell properly in photos.

Either way, great work! I've been wanting to do this for a while, but with flat top diffused LEDs in the boot mounted just under the top of the plastic trim so that they sit flush, hidden footwells, courtesy lighting on the underside of the doors, reversing lights etc..

 

My LED's came yesterday!

 

I like :thumbsup:

I want to change my cabin light bulbs with multiple BLUE LED lights like these:


But everyone are saying it will be too dark/dim!!!

Wot u think?

 

been there. done that. i just bought white festoon bulbs, they have a blue tint while still being very bright.

 

OK - thks guys - I guess I should stick with normal white bulbs then!

And maybe add some LEDs in certain places too :thumbsup:
