well I finally got around to doing that mod I said I was waiting until April to do. I dont think anyone else has VIP puddle lights on their CL, I think they look ok

they only come on when my dome comes on. i.e. when I unlock my car, they come on. When I lock, they go off. they also come on when I open my doors. It helps me find my car at night

anwaysy enjoy the quick, blurry, crappy pics. The lights look bluer than in real life, theyre white LED's.






and a video of them in action when I lock/unlock my doors.

awesome mod, i want to do that, but doesnt the alarm beep make it eaier to find also? Did you buy a kit of what to do the mod?

 

thats a cool thing to have when you are locking/unlocking the car

EDIT: just saw the video, looks tight

 

did you just insert led's or did you set up a bar so that they only spot where you want them to?

 

kewl dood but i heard it was a bitch to do that. Do a DIY for it.

 

which alarm do u use?

 

are you going to post a DIY on this ??? because, dude, that looks awesome...

 

Looks great I was gonna buy REV-01's kit for the TL

 

you big with your lights
your should def do the gauges like I did
looks very crisp and unique
post more pics of it monday

 

Sweet mod, nice and subtle

 

lookin pretty clean man

 

Nice. I was thinking of doing this same mod. Post up some info!

 

lookin sexy

 

whoa that is clean dude,,,,

 

yes, yes....it is bery bery nice

 

Nice.

 

Nice. Your car looks like its hovering, almost.



I thought about doing something similar, except the LED's would function as kind of a side marker. But I quickly scratched that idea.

 

I think what he did was either purchase an LED bar and put it under the side skirt, then drilledd the holes in the skirt.. that or inserted several LED bulbs into the holes.. either way, mad props Klept. That shit looks MAD TOYTE y0.

 

thanks for all the comments guys, its actually a kit that you can buy. Its basically 10 LED's strung together. Theyre completly waterproof. Mercesdes-Benz has them on their BRABUS equipped cars. But for them, they actually drill into the sideskirts and flush mount them. But brabus charges like $150+

The kit comes with 3M mounting tape, but I didnt trust those, so I just drilled them into my sideskirts as well. Now im thinking about putting my sides back on so that I dont scrape these suckers off

orlando3.0-the comment i made about it making my car easier to find was a joke
dragon-I have a viper 550esp w/remote start

 

Dyyyme! That is suh-weet.

I wanna do it, except I dunno about drilling into my sideskirts....heh.

 

How would you go about drilling into the side skirts? I love my ghetto pink neons, but the illegal factor's going to kick my ass one of these days...

 

im pretty sure all underbody lighting is illegal on the street.. if your car is parked, cops cant really do anything about it..

 

Just don't drive with them on

 

that is def vip status,it looks like you car has it's own personal runway. i like it.

 

i dont know the laws in South Carolina but here in Cali neons are legal as long as you stay within their rules
rule #1 tubes cannot be seen only light from neons
rule #2 cannot be red from mid car forward. any other color is fine. red is reserved for emergency vehicles.
rule #3 cant be within 12 in. of any working lights (e.g. headllights, tailights, markers, etc)
rule #4 cant be more than .05 candela of light per sq. in. on ground ( like a cop would be able to measure that.)

as long as you stay within those lines your ok in Cali. but id check your local laws dont just take my word for it

 

well clean 3.0, if your neons look like the ones in your pic, I sure hope you dont go driving around like that. I thought all exterior lighting on a car was illegal other than headlights, turn signals, etc.

 

nope, theres actually a lot of lighting you can do to your car as long as you know the laws. and my undercar is red in the picture but i change the color when i drive around. cops will look and then get mad cause they cant do a damn thing about my lights.

 

A few more shots of the puddle lights.

 

looks nice klepto!!

did u ever consider dropping your front end a little more then the rear?

 

thats pure sex

 

Info for the curious

 

yup, jlevi is where I got them. He had a preorder way back in the begining of the year, so I jumped on it but had to wait until april cause they were being developed. If you do get em, tell em klepto from acurazine sent ya.

thanks for the pics dennis

 

damn, too bad i know nothing about wiring

 

I used to have the front a bit lower, but then i rubbed like fucking crazy on every bump on the freeway. So thats when I pulled my fenders and raised it up a notch. The rear is all the way down, but im planning on taking the bottom collar off and ordering stiffer springs for the front so theres less rebound and then dump the front again. The car is much too high right now

 

ahhh... so THIS is the "secret mod" you were talking about a few months ago no? (just remembered this)

 

yea, wiring was a bitch people, so consider that. Install was a bitch too. I dont think you could just tap directly into the dome, theres not enough power and i wouldnt want you running the risk of blowing these out. I had my alarm guys put in two relays. one for the dome to come on/off when my alarm locks/unlocks and another for the lights.

also you guys might notice that I put my sides back on, I had to because without them you could see the lights on the side in the day and it looked liked my car had nipples so I took my WW sides, and cut out the bottom part so that the lights could shine down and threw em back on. Ghetto, but w/e it works

 

yup, pretty much. its not a huge mod unfortunetly, but i like it, its effective. I love the look on my friends faces when were walkign to my car and i unlock.

 

if you cant see it without looking under the actual sideskirts, it works for me...

 

you could see them just walking up to the car. I didnt think they were so bad becuse I was in my garage and was at a limited angle. But once I got them on and took the car out it was really bad. You could see them from only a few steps back and my friend said that you can see them when im driving.

they actually dont look too bad in this pic but believe me in person, they were an eyesore. Plus at night you could see the actual lamp light up and the spots on the ground.

 

dope mod... and this puts me at 4000 posts.

im thinkin of doin this to my tl. maybee. but i just picked up a new expensive hobby. nitro r/c cars. i just bought a traxxas rustler. should be here soon. anyways dope lights.. and im glad you put the sides back on.. moo.
