Make sure though to spray paint it black.

 

like the lights alot.

 

and move it a little to the right...

 

Nice, very tasteful

 

Hat's off to ya. Nice work.

 

OMG

You guys making too much fun out of this ... it is just lights... it looks good from the inside... it will be even better if you hide the light from people directly seeing it

Have a cap on it or something - so only the panel is illuminated

That was exactly what I was thinking. The trick that Audi uses is they make it seem like its coming out of nowhere. You really dont want to see those beams of light. Put a piece of trim in front of the lights themselves.

 

looks good !

 

how do you see beams of light?

 

He means conceal the LED lights with a trim strip and all you will see is the illumination on your lower console panel.

 

That's why they are where they are, you don't even notice them when they are on because they are on the other side of the console drop down.

Wow, that's sweet... Come do mine! hehe

 

me too

 

C'mon mike, get off it. these little one-liners are for no reason other than to push up your post count. Are you trying to go for some kind of record or something?

 

I have a buddy who also installed this type of lighting for his alarm system. When he gets out of the car and sets his alarm there are three LEDs right behind the shifter that blink from left to right. I guess it would help keep people away from your sh%t.


I will try to get PICs next time I see him.

 

Holy crap Mikeb!!!!! You have how many thousand posts???

 

Yeah, but do a search of his name and see what he posts. At least he's not a troll but about 80 percent of his posts consist of "I agree" or "No kidding" or something equally pallid. One should judge contribution by content, not quantity.

 

Most of his posts are "post pics please" or something to that effect.

 

I should hope they are not illeagal. My Audi A4 came with those same red lights (2 instead of 3) installed in the same position.

But a great install job Dugless! You reminded me of something I miss from my previous car.

 

thats the funny thing
if the car comes with it stock its ok
if you add it to your car its almost always illegal

like is 300 lexus taillights legal
apc taillights I put on my civic that look the same illegal

 

Red light doesn't dilate the pupil like other colors of light and thus unlike normal interior lights won't hamper your driving.

It should be legal.

Once again, thank you Steven Hawkins, I mean MrWigggles!!!!:D

 

Ditto w/Wiggy....As long as it doesn't 'broadcast' the light outside of the car, it can not be considered illegal. If you have the light 'broadcasting' to the front, back, or sides of the car, it's another story. But from the looks of it, I'd say it's fine , (at least in TX).

 

Those lights look great. I understand how you ran the wires, but how did you actualy mount the lights? I've never worked with LEDs, so I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff...
