Ivan1988 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I thought I'll share this as it transformed the inside of the car, and is very simple to do. I've put a strip of leds consisting of 6 per srip per area. All I've done is took some strip leds attached wires and made adapters (which can be purchased) to fit into the light bulb fitting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPX309 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Looks great, I'd love to do something like this, how did you power them? Do you have links to what you bought please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan1988 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 It looks brilliant mate. Makes the car so much brighter and more modern looking. I used 12v led strip lights that I had knocking about and light socket adapters, the clamps to attach the wires to the strips are included with the leds kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan1988 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 No I just plugged it into the existing light bulb socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darvvader Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Those adapters are brilliant in that case! I've been looking at guides on the forum of how to cut into the map lights circuit and wire along the headliner and behind the pillars to the footwells. (I have a MK7 ZS with no light sockets down there).. May do some trial and error in the boot! What's the name of the adapters? I see they mention the parts on the amazon description.

Ivan1988 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 These are the ones. I already had them so didn't have to purchase them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan1988 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 If your starting from scratch then get the ones that change colour as you could just plug one unit in and run them all from that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darvvader Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 These are the ones. I already had them so didn't have to purchase them I cannot find these anywhere. Probably because I can't get the right name. Any chance of a link to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
