Under dash lighting

[hemifan87]

Installed my new lights today they are bright but I like them,

old busted lights in the back



And the new LEDs in the front

[Athikerguy4life]

Very nice. I like the tan interior too. Mine is black. Where did you get the lights?

[hemifan87]

thank you and lol I wanted the black but all they had was tran and its a pain to keep clean. I got the lights at advanced auto they were $25 for to strips. there called flex lights or something like that. They don't come with a plug so I used the plug that the red ones had.

[Athikerguy4life]

I've seen those around. I'm thinking about getting the "LED glow" lights off of amazon. They are about the same price, but you get 4 light strips. They also come with no plug, but i Certainly have plenty of those lying around.

[haoyisi]

very beautiful and special..how did you do it and where are you bought these stuff...

[hemifan87]

Thank you. I got them at advanced auto they are called flex lights they are a hard wire set up meaning theres no plug, just the ends of the wires. Iv heard of some people wiring it into the dimmer switch but I just used a dc end from the neons I had in there I'm doing the back soon.

That looks great man. I got the same thing they are perfect for the black interior especially at night when you drop something while you are driving. Yours are white right? Mine are on when the lights are on so that would make it hard for me to handle.



Red makes any kind of dirt leaf or grass stand out really bad too as you can tell.

[hemifan87]

No mine are green lol I used to have red but but I got tired of it and they were neons so two of the tubes got broke so I upgraded to leds and changed to green, I wanted something different and you dont see green often.

[veronicatheV]

WOOPS I thought your floor mats where green.
yeah green is a unique color and LEDs are so much better than neon.

[hemifan87]

Im going to try to get the back ones tonight and install them but might not if I do I will post pics tonight.

[veronicatheV]

goodluck cant wait to see

[hemifan87]

So it looks like its going to be tomarow that I install them it just started raining I just bought them and then it started to come down lol.

[veronicatheV]

That probably means its going to Rain the day my CAI gets in too! That sucks

[Athikerguy4life]

I'm glad I have a garage

[hemifan87]

I wish I had one it would make life so much better lol

[Athikerguy4life]

it really does. I have a low ceiling though, so on jack stands it almost touches the roof!

[hemifan87]

^ lol at least its dry. Well I just finished installing them will post pics tonight, its very green in my car lol.

[Athikerguy4life]

alright, can't wait to see them!

[hemifan87]

Me ether lol iv seen a preview in the day I almost think they will be to much at night lol but they look good, I like them so much better then the neons.

[Athikerguy4life]

I saw the same thing at my local auto store and I may be investing in them soon. The ones I have now are junk.

[hemifan87]

Ok here are the pics I love them
Without flash

With flash

[veronicatheV]

looks great where did you mount them and where did you hook the power too.

[hemifan87]

The power is run to a 4 way splitter all hidden in the center console. on the back of the seats on the bottom there is a piece of black plastic I hooked them up there make sure to have enough slack so the seat can move, oh and they are wired the same as the front with an old dc plug I had.

[Athikerguy4life]

I'm planning on hard wiring mine through a switch so I can just flick them on/off. Not sure where to take the power from though. Does anybody know a good source for power? I'm not sure if any of the open fuse slots would be ok to use for accessory power.

[veronicatheV]

yeah they are its just a pain to do. But there is a constant 12v line that runs down one of the sides I actually think thats what I ziptied my Amp power cord too idk il look into it.

[Athikerguy4life]

I might try this. If not, I was thinking of putting a second fuse panel in the engine bay to have all my accessories run off. That way there's no wiring going to and weird spots or any splicing into existing wiring. I was thinking i could screw it right into the battery tray on the other side of the existing fuse panel.

[veronicatheV]

yeah try finding a fuse box thats made for a car, so it looks right. You know what I mean.

[Ramsey019]

This is so amazing.....is there any videos how you've done it? Please make one so I could do the same...Pleeessseeeee

[Jape]

You can use an "Add-a-Fuse" adapter. They're real cheap and you just plug it into a spare slot in the fuse box or you can put it a less important fuse spot and it will still work for both the existing fuse and your light fuse.
