I'm planning to keep my pre-existing lights as they are. But looking to add a couple more locations. Any help would be appreciated.

1 - The current RL has blue LEDs by the feet that come on/fade in and out with the dome lighting. Anyone done an install like this? Anyone know of any hardware that could be done to accomplish this, or what circuit these lights would need to be tied to so they don't necessarily have to stay on all the time?

2 - Hear me out with this one. I have a friend who's buddy works in a metal cutting shop who works with lasers. I'm looking to see where I might be able to get another stock shift knob (6MT). My plan - etch out the shift diagram and then snake a LED to inside the hollow shifter (is it hollow?) and have it with not an overpowing, but a glowing blue diagram... i've talked it over with the metal guy and a couple car friends or mine who end up needing to change their pants after talking about it. What say you?

3 - Completely unrelated. But does the damn light in the center console ever turn off? I've opened the bottom section of the console a few times after driving for a while and the bulb cover is HOT. Is this normal? Any way to moderate it if it is?


Well I guess that's enough for now. While I've been viewing the forum for a while now and thanks to the likes of bysin/byson(sp?)/whoever else - I've modded the nav, etc, but I did try to look for these questions already and found nothing. I figured I'd post these ?s after reading this post , but thought the ?s were different enough for a different thread. Lemme know what you think. And so yea, don't kill the new guy.

 

I have four 9 inch blue neon light on my floor. They are up under the drivers feet, passanger floor, and across the back floor. All the wires run up into the center console and go into the outlet.

Also I just ordered the door and doom LED's, so they will be in on tuesday.

This is the front seats, with the garage lights off

All picture just taken now on my phone, I hope you like them and did the lights yourself. And I can't wait till the LED's come in the mail.

 

The light in the center console and the light in the glove compartment both work when the parking lights or headlights are on.

You could say that Acura saved a couple of cents by eliminating a couple of switches, or you could say it's a good idea because the light won't stay on and run your battery down if the compartment door was left open or the switch failed.

If one or both is on when the car's lights are off, then that would be a problem that should be repaired.
