Fully Custom Interior LED Lighting
LED interior.. a few new ideas that was put in. unfinished for now, still working on the dash and center console. will be updated in the upcoming weeks
enough talk here's the pics.
If you look closely into the cointray, there's a white LED in there also. My MP3 player is connected to the blitzsafe adapter that is hidden away through the back.
lighting in the cupholders. its pointed straight to the headunit. it helps shine the center console nicer.
When the cointray is closed, it hides away my mp3player, revealing the LED'ed butt warmers and my Amp controller for the extra bass boost (which came with the LED already in it).
love the look with a water bottle in the cupholder! lights the whole bottle up
different angle
map light
here you can see the custom work done for the LED's in the map light
LED's lit up without the cover
LED close up
Close up, different angle
what y'all think?
more LED's still in the works. i have the Dome light done too, but it looks the same as the map lights so didnt really bother taking pics of that. i also have it done in the glove compartment, AC vents, and Glove compartment..
will update again soon

the cf collar trim was from a member on this board. it was off a CL and i just bought it off him on the private sales section of AZ.

dawg, would you be willing to make me a set for my car? i bought a set off ebay but they give off more of a blue/purple hue, which is a little harsh on my eyes.

if you want it done, the car has to be here because this isnt a simple plug and play thing. you have to remember that the bulbs you buy off ebay are just LEDs plugged into a bulb that fits into your stock sockets.. but these, you have to solder directly into the wires. basicly pulling the whole harness out and just using the wires..
it can definitly be done, but it woud mean, it'll take the same amount of time to go back to stock. although, real LED's connected properly is so much nicer than cheap knockoff LED's sold on ebay, pepboys, autozone, ricer stores, etc...

First of all, YOU ARE THE MAN! Very nice mod. I wanna be the first one to request a DIY from you, for the shifter lights. Can you post a pic of the shift gate without the covers, so we can see whats doin' under there.

for the cupholder idea...the best is if u put 1 led in the middle of the individual cupholders...drille a hole there...n it lites up even brighter with bottles...ive done this with just an led taped on the bottom of a bottle...should try it...

for a DIY, i could work on that later after work.. but there will be alot of money spending to do this project. first you'll need a really good set of individual LED's, remember to buy bundles. voltage regulators, resistors, diodes, circuit boards, extra wiring, solder/soldering wire, and massive amounts of patience. because all these electical parts are REALLY small, it'll be a REAL pain if you have big fingers. i'll try to get pics and everything of how it looks behind these beautiful lighting when i get a chance afterwork.
thanks for the compliments guys. i cant wait myself to get the whole interior done. that's gonna be a challenge, but will be done soon. just kinda getting hard to do since its so cold out and i cant stop my hands from shaking so much. its not an in-house project, you need a power source and you have to be right by the car the whole time to get things connected properly.

more pics:
inside armrest console.
a closer look to the LED's and the complicated wiring inside of the armrest console.
glove compartment lighting
closer look into the glovebox lighting
center dome light
8 pieces of LED's equally distanced throughout the space in the dome light

LED's inside the AC Vents for the rear seats. it actually lights the leg and seating area of the rear so people in the back has some lighting too.
sneak preview of my experiments for the center console.
the whole center console will be updated soon. keep checking!!
