HOW TO: HID's for your INTERIOR --- Ver: TRUNK LIGHT Updated w/ dome light pics

[DMan II-40]

the dome light is cool, but i got enough light from that, i just want the trunk kit

[mrzabala]

Nice. Hopefully you can get something for s13 hatch and coupe? But then again I removed main harness (from below the driver kick panel fuses and back) except rear tailights and fuel pump.

[R6_240sx]

That'd be pretty cool if the dome light had a high and low, cuz those are DAMN bright, I'd only need those if im lookin for somethin...

all dome lights are the same for the 240s

There's no need for high/low, it's a freakin domelight... the only time it needs to be on is when the door's open and when you need to see something at night... and the first one is debatable

How will these kits be sold? Per kit? Or will you offer an entire package deal? Really excited for this, and the LED tail lights in that other thread.

[Dano]

Again, it's not me selling them, and I DO NOT work for them, i'm just working WITH them to help make this for you guys... right now my goal is to have a package deal, but all parts will also be availiable individually.

[kamikazestorm420]

lol hid everywhere...nice

FYI .. those are not HIDs ... theyre LEDs..

[SeanC]

^^^ haha i was thinking the same thing the entire thread. when i first clicked on it. i was like wow some mounted the expensive bulbs, the gas lines, resevoir and harness. and yes those or LED's (light emitting diodes) not HID (high intensity discharge)

How about a license plate bulb upgrade,like the Lexus Is300 and GS300running around ?

[Dano]

Your right, they're not 'High Intensity Discharge' but it's a 'thread title' where you want to grab 'attention' and though they are not real HIDs, it's the closest your gonna get right now.

And what's this about Gas lines and resovoirs? Are you familiar with today's HID's? the only gas is contained in the bulb, theres a bulb, a ballast, an ignitor (which is sometimes contained within the ballast) and the harness. The manufacturer of these kits has them listed as 'Like HID's for your Interior' so I kept the name associated with this.

Thank you both for clarifying the plainly obvious.

Please stay on topic.

LOL that's true but u dont practically live in ur car like i do, i need my night light .

Looks like your in luck. License plate lights coming...

Very nice. You can also replace the 3.4 watt 158 bulb with an 18 watt 921 bulb. About a buck.

True, but, I know consume half a watt of energy, and it produces no heat. Plus it's cool.

[zenkii]

nice write up, the interior dome light is hawt and especially useful

[Dano]

full writeup on that and some other things coming soon!

-Dan

[ishkabibble]

No, they're definately more expensive than that. You have to pay for premium materials and craftsmanship, and this is definately premium quality!

First, I really like the lights - nice mod.

But can you please explain the "premium materials and craftsmanship" in a bunch of LEDs soldered to a circuit board?

[Dano]

You have low end parts, and high end parts with electronics just as you do with body parts, performance parts, etc. Led's range in size and light output to lifespan, some are 1,000 hours, some are 10,000 hours, etc. These LEDs are high end, high output, flat-top LEDs, they spread the light evenly unlike your standard LED bulb. The circuit boards they use are also very nice.

So, they're using 10 cent LEDs instead of 5 cent LEDs?

[Dano]

These aren't your crappy radio shack LEDs, if you like the product, cool, if you don't, cool, just don't come in here slandering it when you haven't used it, or even seen it in person.

-Dan

[driftin2trance]

yea, it looks really nice. they leds that they are using are good cuz they give u a wide angle of light unlike the typical led with an angle around 20-30 degrees. looks good but i will make one myself since i have an access to that and i am studyin electrical engineering.

Werd. Good luck with that bud, I like the route you've chosen with your car thus far and look forward to seeing what else you come up with

if you knew anything about LED's you would know it costs ALOT more than 10 cents.

[Dattebayo]

Cool product, but the thread is not named correctly.

LED's do not qulify as "high intensity discharge" (HID) lights. While bright, they do not utilize a amplified stream of electrons running through an inert gas. They are just a clear diode.

dang

if you read our posts, you would know that we have already had a discussion about that. he named it to get more attention to this thread.

[Jookmasta]

any ETA for this happening b/f the end of the year? just need to know what not to spend on other people for the holidays lol.

[Dano]

Yeah, i'll talk to Matt and get you guys the info soon.
