Hey guys since I'm not the sharpest at this whole car customising and still relatively new on here wat on earth is submarine lighting ?

[Brigante]

ambient lighting mate. it's basically a courtesy light with 2 small red leds built in that shine down when the engines running to create a soft glow over the gear leaver.

see Haz93's thread here for a photo of what it looks like:

looking at like 80quid though for a new unit unless you lucky to see one pop up on ebay but thats rare

[Stoney871]

It's also classed as ambient lighting.
It's small led's positioned in such a way as to enhance the appearance of the inside of a car and sometimes shine onto consoles and switches.
I have them in my courtesy light and they shine down onto my centre console/gear stick when I turn on my side/headlights.

Darn, beaten to the punch by the apprentice.

I was delayed in posting my reply because I was getting my eBay link to the unit copied across.

Lucky, not many have it without having to pay silly prices for them.

Ah but I was searching the forums trying to find a good photo of it.

Could of linked ebay but didn't see the point in linking the silly price.
