Potential future mod - bmw pillar lights
just drove a bmw 325 ci and liked how the pillar lights gave the interior a nice lighting especially with tan interior....has anyone done his mod before?...what wood be the easiest way to wire this, and also the most important question is, how much space is there behind the pillar?....i think it looks dope especially with some bright white leds...

2000 acura tl FPR
iTrader: (1)
i've always wanted to do this ever since i bought the car. when i was making the decision on what car to buy, i had choice between the TL and mitsu diamante, and the diamante had these (they were called courtesy reading lights and they are push button) another thing i liked about the diamante was the high contrast guage cluster, but all in all i'm glad i got the TL.

Final product!!
iight here are the final piks, didnt have time to take shots during the wiring process but its pretty simple.....will swap out the regular bulbs for white leds sometime next month.

pretty much, all i used was a new box cutter to cut the hole from the inside of the panels, and shave till it fits tightly and securely....u wont spend more than $40 which is just the lights unless u decide to buy leds at the same time....bulb sizes are 194 / 168 (2 bulbs in each housing)

Thanx everyone....i might do a quick diy tut sometime next week
if anyone gets to do this mod successfully and gets leds before me, post piks asap! Preferebly white (5000k) nothing more nothing less...i think 6000k leds wood look better with an all black interior, not tan as it makes the leather look washed out or bleached.
