leds in doorhandles

[insaneturbo13]

several people have been requesting pictures of my lights in the door handles in my car, so before i finish the writeup on how to do it here is a teaser on it, all i have atm is the drivers side but thats good enough for pics.

when i press the unlock button on my keyfob the lights come on, when i get in the car and close the door they fade off.

door handle off:


door handle on:


here are some random pics of the rest of the leds in my car:

center vents:


center cups:


rear cups: (they are bright enough to light up the roof of my car)




bottom of door:

yo! da door handle is sick. i've been trying to figure out how to hook up da LEDs to da inside of the handle n which wire to tap into. What kinda LEDs did you use? that's sick tho. cant wait for the write up

[elevate]

thanks for the pics man, LED's really look dope!

[insaneturbo13]

thanks guys, for the door handles i used ozniums superflux leds. they look a lot more vivid in real life, i didnt have an actual camera to use all i had was a phone.

I would love a writeup for this! Just out of curiosity, do you touch the LED's while trying to open the door?

[insaneturbo13]

im in love with lighting, especially ambient lighting. i like to see it without knowing where its coming from.

next project is underbody lighting with remote, but comes on automatically with key fob like the door handles. cant wait!

Awesome! Can't wait to see how you did it.

By me there is a guy that has Yellow LED's in the handles of his yellow lancer and they look sick.
