LED Light Strips (Interior) + Custom Switch

**VeX** · 05-03-2011 12:39 PM

Hey everyone! I thought I'd share my latest mini project. I installed a pair of 12" LED strips inside my GC and wired it to the center console's 12V and stuck a switch in it. I figured I wouldn't need to use that 12V because there's another under the arm rest. Check it out. I even left the little 12V latch there for style points

I also did a quick video to show the functionality. The video was taken during the day so the lights don't look as awesome as they do in the photos (or in person).

Let me know what you think! All comments appreciated.

Love it, great job

Yea, it was a lot easier than I thought. Especially if you have small hands/wrists/arms haha. once you pop out the center console you can feed the LED strips through the actual 12V metal thingy as far as you can then pull it out of the back. I pulled both LED strips to the drivers side first, and then I fed the other one through the middle to the passenger side. If there is someone out there who would like to know exactly how I did everything, I'd be happy to explain.

I'll send you an email and try to help out as much as possible. Just know that I wasn't the "electrician" of the project. A friend of mine gave me a hand.

I'm trying to do something similar. genrebel@hotmail.com

Thanx

Ok I'm emailing you both the same message. It's basically just a step by step of my first time installing LEDs. you might still wanna check with someone with a bit more experience if you have further questions.. but it should give you the general Idea of how to do it yourself.

UPDATE: Both emails have been sent. let me know if you received them.

UPDATE: Messege delivery failed for you afroturk.
