Oracle Interior Accent Lighting

Just got my Oracle interior accent lights installed in the front footwells of my G. Just thought i'd share. Also have a dimmer installed in the glovebox to control the brightness. Have them connected through headlight harness so they turn on when the head lights are on. Can also manually turn them on with the dimmer but dont really need them during the day time. Installed the dimmer just to make sure the elegance of the car wasn't tarnished with obnoxiously bright lights. I think they turned out pretty nice, opinions? (Pictures will be attached below...two pictures during dusk with the lights at full brightness then half brightness. One picture at night with lowest brightness)

Looks nice. I am not fan of blue but this matches nicely with the blue around the *****.

Not rocking the Blue either but they look nice .... no issues with brightness. Dimmer was a good idea.

Thanks, appreciate it! There are 36 inches of lighting on each side. I have them cut to 18 inches and drilled in back to back. Each side has about 75 LED's (about 25 per foot of lighting). The lights come with an adhesive back but I strongly recommend drilling them in. Just two screws per side. The adhesive won't stay more than a week I can almost guarantee. Have never had luck with adhesive unless you wanna gorilla glue it. Which I would never recommend. but hey its the strongest stuff on earth lol. Here are two links for the items I purchased for the install. Totaled to about $100. I think its a nice little touch. Especially compared to the OEM accent lighting. Just my opinion though, I respect the other guys for saying they didn't feel the blue...the only good feedback is honest feedback. Hope this helps!

Links: Footwell Ambient Lighting (All Colors) (I bought two SMD strips)

ORACLE LED Dimmer Switch - Potentiometer (I Just have this mounted in the glovebox)

thanks, appreciate it. I don't like how the blue looks during the late day time either. at night though the blue appears a little darker and at the lowest dim setting it looks pretty nice. id definitely recommend performance additions before something like this though. I just needed something else to add on lol its like getting tattoos
