Chris`I Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I have added some LED light strips to my footwell to light it ala JDM stylee. Not sure, what do you think - nice or rice?! I think I quite like it Quote
RobD7 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I wouldn't normally go for that kind of thing but I think it looks pretty cool Quote
jim Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I think that looks better than my JDM footwell lighting - it's more of an orange colour. Wonder if I can change the bulbs for a LED? Quote
tmJak Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 useful if you drop your phone have you any pics with the dash lit up as well? think it looks good if not a little bright. does the camera make it look brighter? i like ambient lighting but subtle does it imo. when do the lights come on? Quote
GC350z Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Are they on whilst driving? Crap if they did. Quote
Chris`I Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 Well general consensus is that they look good Right answers to questions: -No pics with dash lit up, will take some tomorrow -They arent as bright as they appear, camera makes them look more intense -Lights come on with the dome lights when triggered automatically - so when the car is unlocked, door opened or key removed from ignition. They go off when you shut the door and put the key in the ignition -Not on when driving -No great need to see my feet, but sure they will be handy when I drop stuff -They do come in green - Seeeeeeeeee Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Looks good mate, i've done the same pia to take pics Quote
Sarnie Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Are they on whilst driving? Crap if they did. Thats what I was thinking. I wouldn't like them if they were on whilst driving but as they only come on when stationary then I think they look cool Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 mine come on as the doors are opened or the car is unlocked, also fade like the interior light does Quote
P15UL T Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 cheers chris, is this where you bought them from ? im a bit weary as they are from hongkong ? Paul Quote
Chris`I Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 cheers chris, is this where you bought them from ? im a bit weary as they are from hongkong ? Paul Yup thats where I got them from. Took about a week to be delivered. I was a bit weary but it was only £15 so worth a punt. I tried other LED light strips and they were pi$$ poor compared to these. Also as you get 3 thats an extra one for the boot light which I have in the works atm The wire on them is really thin though, so I soldered some chunkier stuff on so that I could tap it to the interior lighting. Will post a pic of where I tapped it so you can do it easily. Quote
H5 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Always these http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... d&doy=28m3 I have a couple of green cold cathodes from my Volvo install if you're interested Paul. Quote
