hi has anyone got some ambient mood lighting in their s's footwell area.. i think it looks ace wanting to do it myself but was wandering if anyone has already done it and if so is it a hard job.? any instructions would be ace.

 

Yes, have had them for years. Love them! Everything you need is at Hi Tech designs.

 

it was done on my S when i bought it. Personally i thought it was ricey, but if I have to be honest i thought about doing them in red just because I liked the extra light in there at night and the red would flow with the cluster and the other interior bits, oh and the car is NFR. The reason i felt it so ricey before is that the previous owner had put blue ones in a red car, it looked dumb. I put them in my girl's 06 civic which has all the blue lighting for the cluster and all and she loves it and it looks factory.

Basically all you need is two LED strips, i would say with 3-5 LEDS per strip, some double sided tape, and zip ties. Run your grounds off the LED strips to any ground, and the power you can run to any switched power wire. There is also a spot on our fuseboxes for accesories i believe. Another idea is to run it to the remote wire on your headunit or any other power source that is hot only in "run". I wouldnt worry about robbing power from these sources as LED's dont take much power to run them at all since they are just diodes.

Super simple and now you've got my thinking about putting red ones in mine lol. If youneed any help pm me i'd be more than happy.

 

I have soft red with my red interior - creates a warm cozy feeling at night. I wired mine to my headlights line with a toggle switch in between so that I can shut them off if I desire.

 

thats also a cool idea, and just to update what i said earlier about the accessory places in the fusebox, I was under there today hardwiring a radar detector and yes, there are three places to get power without splicing just FYI

 

Dclem, we need to hook up so i can hardwire my radar detector. lol!
