what interior/exterior lighting mods have you done

so i was browsing through some of the other threads and came across one of a guy adding led interior lights into his car, so i thought i haven't seen anyone else's simply because we all get together during the day and thought it would be cool to see what everyone else has done pertaining to lighting mods.

right now mine are just the 3 blue led's as i haven't had time to install all the others and im trying to find a place that would rape my bank account to buy the damn things. so here's some pics so far. i did all the work myself incase anyone was wondering.

i tapped into my fuse box, added an inline fuse with a 5amp fuse and ran all the wires and just used an unpainted bolt as the ground.

this one is the switch i put in with the light on.

this one is a shot that shows the switch and its position a bit better.

an lower view of my middle led

driver side mounted led neon tube.

passenger side mounted led neon tube.

Nice pics, I was hoping to see them at the meet, but like you said... daylight.

Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. An overnight meet or something where we all meet up at about 10 or 11 pm. Although that tends to garnish some negative attention at that time of night.

So my interior mods are as follows:

4 pc. Led Interior 7 color 15" kit with the ability to be expanded to 6 tubes (once I build the custom sub box the 2 other tubes will be going on it) This kit has the Mic for strobing to music as you can see in my video... the lights are a bit off the music because the sound on my camera apparently pics up quicker than the video...



Second interior light mod is the rear view mirror which I'm pretty sure you've all seen by now but WTH right...

From outside the car:



With only the rear view lights on:



With both the interior kit and the rear view lights on and set to solid red:

I have an orange LED kit to do the cup holder intall and looking into interior neons for under dash and under seats. Then outside Ground F/X

lol yeah thats what Outtamymind and I did with mine was ZIP ties it really works well and the mounting wasnt too difficult.... I also have 2.1 million color Plasma Glow Under Kit to go on but I'm trying to get some help putting it in since I'm not to sure where to run the wires etc.

I will be adding some small LED's shortly - STEVE / Outtamymind there is a place of 32ave by CoCoBrooks Pizza and Memory Express that sells BOAT loads of leds I cant remember the name but its something about "All about lighting" or soemthing its on the right hand side if your heading towards Barlow and its in the same shopping center as the Worlds Gym over there. I plan to make a trip over that way when I'm there Friday to check some stuff out and get some further ideas... If your round come with.

Theres a cool cheap local shop here in calgary that sells the LEDs and u have to buy the parts and peice it together but yeah they sell the stuff in bulk and its pretty cheap I poped in there today and looked around...

The place is called "ACTIVE" its just up the street from the Car Salon on 32nd AVE NE. once I have a better understanding of how to do the wiring I'm totally going back there cause they have some really sweet shade of red ^_^ and they have all the colors... MATT they have an orange that when I saw it I was like OMG that would totally f*kin match ur cars color
