New Interior lights project underway!!!!!

[soljaboy2000]

Well I was bored and since my dome light doesn't work at night (too lazy to get repplacement bulb) I thought I'd put blue interior lighting like FnF Well heres what I ordered

Blue leds to illuminate vents and door handles


And blue neons for the floor and rear

[Brentm]

man I wanan do blue leds in my vents too, I just dont know how id go about wiring all the lights,(inside the vents) so as you put all the lights in, take pics.

[dXsquared]

i just did my buddies gauge cluster in his truck.. he only had 3 leds, so its not that bright... im gonna have to run 8 in my gauge cluster to have addiquite light...

i bet you are gonna pay an arm and leg for those leds, by the way are they resisted already (can they run at 12V?) other wise you will have to add a resistor per bulb into the mix, i bought a bunch of leds and they are in my car at the moment lighting up stuff but it was pretty cheap

Arm and a leg..... you must mean a finger and toe LOL Man I got 10 of these with resistors already soldered for 12V use on Ebay only about $14.00

sounds cool. cant wait to see pics man.

[Dallas&SarahsAccord]

can someone tell me how to acquire those LED lights for the vents? i really wanna take on the project...is there a site i can go to besides ebay to get thos things?

[soljaboy2000]

We have local stores here that sell a kit with 4 Leds that actually is for that application which is $30.00/kit.. too expensive for me (only 4 leds) I guess you can do a search for retailer online.

why neon's and not cold cathodes? Caths are lighter, thinner, and brighter than liquid neons, and u can get a sound inverter for them for some bling bling action. Just mod PC ones, thats what im doing. 1 for each footwell, 1 for each rear seat, and maybe small caths or led's or light sticks for handles, vents, speakers, crap like that. All blue of course, blue interior.

[johnwc723]

thats not too bad, what are the specs on them tho? i payed abot 1.00 each for some rediclously high outpout 6000MCD 45degree 5mm leds but did have to solder them my self

[Bloodlust]

I have been wanting to do interior lighting for a while, but I wasnt sure if it would be or not. Guess if its done right, it wouldnt be.

Well I finished installation of all my leds and neons just have to get pics but heres what it looked like before i installed them. I use my web cam so the quality not that great. After the installation I tested it one night and everything was gravvy. These leds are brighter thean the neons. It made my whole inside glow blue. I had a friend drive beside me on the highway and he said he noticed significant blue glow and he came closer to my car yet not actually seeing where the light was coming from. pretty tight.

Heres all of the door handles and vents with the leds (I'm missing the driver front handle, need new one anyone have extra to sell ) :cool2:

In this close up of the center vent you can see the LED in the back


The back side of the center vents


heres what the back of side vents look like. I use hot glue cuz its pretty strong and its easy to work with in case you make a mistake. Leds are fragile so i wouldn't recommend super glue or anything


This how the inside door handle look with LEDs


This is back of the door handles at the top. as you see the hole had to be redrilled cuz it would of blocked the screw hole. But the extra hole is not noticeable at all just a lil trial and error

[sccrsteve5]

nice...TAKE A PIC WITH THEM ON BRO! i wanna see 'em in action...

[HondaBoy]

i tried doing about the same thing. i drilled holes for the LEDs to go through, but i didnt have any correct resistors, so that didnt work out. i do have red LEDs in my middle vents that were pre wired. looks good at night.

[Nate2310]

yeah in my old accord I had green leds in my vents, they were always an eye catcher and really helped the interior. I liked em alot the install took me n my dad about an hour and a half we wired them to the gauge cluster

[Rendon LX-i]

oh shit. i was gonna do that but never got to it. not the door thing. but the vents . i got my dash cluster done and under the dash. but never go to the vents
