Some LEDs (also dieseldoug's ambient lighting mod)
Changed out the map, door, trunk, and license plate lights to LEDs......
License plate http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting057.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting058.jpg Passenger door http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting059.jpg Driver door http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting053.jpg Trunk http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting048.jpg Map lights http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting055.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting056.jpg The map lights came out to be brighter than it actually is. Might have been because I used the night time setting on the camera so it captured more lights.... I've also bought white LEDs for the door if the blue ones get too ricey for me. Now, onto the more interesting stuff... After seeing dieseldoug's ambient lighting in person at a meet, I encourage/pestered him to make a DIY and here are the results: Passenger side, dim (blue) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting043.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting060.jpg Passenger side, dim (white) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting061.jpg Passenger side, bright (blue) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting039.jpg Passegner side, dim (white) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting047.jpg Driver side, dim (blue) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting044.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting052.jpg Driver side, bright (blue) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting042.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting050.jpg Driver side, bright(white) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...ighting045.jpg It gave me a hard time at first but it was well-worth the trouble. This mod not only allows you to adjust the brightness via a potentiometer but also the color of the lights through a simple switch since 2 sets/colors are mounted on each side. BIG thanks to Doug for his generosity and for putting up with my PMs :icon38:. I believe he has the kit for sale if anyone's interested.

The POT and switch are cheap, maybe 5 bucks each or so. Same goes for the wire. You'd need a drill and soldering iron if you don't already have one. It took me a while to figure out all the necessary steps I need but with detailed instructions, it shouldn't take you more than an hour or 2. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
