Re: LED Thread!

haha.. as long as ya find em cheap, your good. they got some pretty spendy stuff out there though.. :/

speakin of floor lights, i just came back from grabbin a bite to eat, and the lady in the window said that my blue lights lighting up the floor were "soo cool!" haha.. i love gettin compliments on somethin i've worked on and am proud of. i have 2 10" neon tubes under both front seats that pulse to the bass.. i love em. but i had "no hands" by waka flocka playin, so it was just a solid blue cuz it's got a lot of bass throughout the song.

anyways, that's cool about the pedals - you'll have to take some pics when they come in

i gotta take some pics of my neon under my front 2 seats, i havent posted any yet i dont think.. but if ur gonna get some LED light strips, mine are exactly like these (but blue) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Flexible...item2a134290d1 and they're easy to hook up and light up really really well. and cheap which is always good

Re: LED Thread!

yeah, ive been wanting to get either 2 more of the kind i got now, or just 2 more LED strips for the back part of the floor, under the front seat. i do like how they bump to the bass, but they have a little switch on em that you can change to solid.. so it's just on without flashing or whatever. we'll see.. my next LED purchase is most likely gonna be blue dome lights and super white map lights. gonna look sick.

Re: LED Thread!

that'll be cool (the underbody kit).. i wanted one a while back, but changed my mind cuz the second i would turn it on, i'd get a frikkin ticket with my luck. :/

and yeah, that's why i want the blue in the dome light part instead of the map lights, cuz the blue is only gonna be on when the doors are opened and what-not. i want the super white ones in the map lights in case i actually need em, they would light up what im lookin for, instead of just pretty blue. lol

either way, we both need to post pics when we get em

Re: LED Thread!

Just ordered my lights for my dome and map lights. Went with white, 12 LED bulbs. $5 for 4 bulbs, I only need 3. Not a bad deal at all.

Not a bad deal at all, here's the link. I'll be the guinea pig and see how they work before you order them, if you'd like.

Yanking the cig ligther outlet out will break the clips that hold it in. You've gotta squeeze them in from the back side if you want to just take it out without breaking anything.

Re: LED Thread!

Quick question. Probably really simple for you all to answer, lol. I want to install some LED strips under my dash, and possibly under my front seats to shine in the rear. I don't want to hook up to the cigarette lighter, I want a switch. Could someone tell me the best way to go about this. Like where to get the power from, what kind of switch, where to put the switch. Just help me out please. Thanks!

you would need to run power wires from ur battery or the constant 12v from ur headunit might be easier to your switch then to your leds

you would need any kind of 12v switch u want, one with lights, one with a jet fighter looking gaurd or just the basic wobbler switch...as long as its 12v itll work...take a look at orielleys selection

where u put the switch is up to you...if you want a real clean look u could take one of the blacks under the stereo or to the left of the steering wheel and drill a 1/2 inch whole (or however big ur switch is) into it then screw the switch onto it.

Re: LED Thread!

for leds, you can tap the 12v socket wires and put a switch between the power feed. leds usually dont use much power to matter.

For those switches right above the cup holders and next to the outlet what kind of switch will fit in there without having to do any drilling? Would a fog lights switch fit in there?

Re: LED Thread!

I got my LEDs today. I should be able to make a video of the install and how they work, later night. Install takes 2 minutes tops for the map and dome lights.

Video is up. Check out my DIY thread here, or watch it below(or click to watch it youtube for full hd).
