Couple things - just did this a few minutes ago. It's longer wires than necessary in there and they're not properly connected because I just wanted to see how it'll look... they're replacing my shifter tomorrow under warranty so I'm taking the cupholder out anyway. Don't leave long wires in there cause they'll **** with your shifter linkage. These are prewired 5 mm blue LED's from oznium.com. I have a shitload of Oznium stuff lying around so I just said what the hell. Rice? Yes. Awesome looking with a drink in there? Yes. Can't really tell in the pic with flash, but the LED's sit flush with the rubber in the cupholder. I just used a small screwdriver to poke holes, then a bigger one to kinda bore it. You can drill if you want I guess... I dunno. They, like my footwell LED's, are connected to a relay which is triggered by the running lights, so they come on with the autolights. Any other questions feel free to ask.

In terms of the actual brightness, it's not AS bright as pics 1 and 2, but it's pretty damn close. I was thinking of putting Oznium superfluxes in there... I wouldn't recommend that.

 

damn lights up that water bottle nice lol...I dont think it looks...tooooo bad but its pretty cool nice job

 

I think those LED's are to bright for me, but looks like a good install!

 

I did that not long ago, but on the back side of the cupholder so no light is in your eyes......then I didn't like them so I ditch em' lol

 

Like I said it's not quite as bright as it looks in the pic cause they're a bit overexposed... but of all the stuff I have lying around I don't have a 12V dimmer which would be ideal for this. So I'll probably do up a switch that's separate from my other lights; these will get annoying on an drive of distance at night or if the cupholders are empty.

 

Looks rice....................

Oldie but goodie, nice work.

Look like nipples too

 

looks nice but I think its a little too bright

 

I'll probably end up putting a resistor or two in. I'll have to leave it for a while and see if it's too bright.

 

Ricers!

 

i think it would be cool if you were to make the outside of the cupholder, ya know that little lip that goes around. If that was clear and lit up it would be cool as ****

 

How'd ya get the cupholder out? Not the removable piece, the piece that holds that.

 

^just pull it twords the shifter. get your fingers under the back of it and pull forwards.

key things is just dont be a sissy

 

Mkulrey has had a how to for this in the how to section with pics for like 2 years....

 

^x2.

 

i'm not going to lie.. i really like this lol

i've been wanting to do this mod for a few years on my car .. rice.. maybe .. but badass.. and a good thing for shows definitely

 

So what is the WHP increase from this? I'm thinking at least 70.

 

i cant do this cause i have 7 color interior LED's and if i had 1 solid color LED's in my cupholders...what do i do when i have like purple on under dash and then red in my cupholder. it would just **** me off. i wish i could hook up 7 different cup holder colors.

 

This isn't a how-to... I know about that one. You have to be retarted to not know how to do this.

That would be dope. Ever since I saw pics of the Converj concept it's become like a fetish of mine to have that ******* sick lit up interior. I can't build **** so I'm kinda limited in what I can do here. I might wire these up so that when you're moving they're dim, but when you're parked (i.e., e-brake is up) they're relayed to a second 12V+ that's not resisted so they return to full brightness. Anyone that has installed an h/u know where the e-brake wire is so I can relay to it?

 

Ok, that joke is as old as ****. Time for a new one

 

ive done this to my car; try using gatorade frost it lights up like a blue christmas tree

 

Looks good....as long as there is a bottled water instead of soda can lol. I can aslo tell from tha last pic that u have tha best color car

 

Hopefully nobody calls it rice when I install temp sensors into my cupholders
so that I can read the temperature of my drinks through my carPC, LOL

Because no one likes to drink warm beer, especially when they're driving!

 

^lmao!
