Bigdaddycain Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 You haven't read between the lines my friend... You missed the deliberate play on the words "subtle" and "discreet" ;) Good comedy angle though eh? Me kids love them! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdaddycain Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'd better explain... I'd actually forgotten i'd ordered these colour changing LED's, as i'd also ordered a pair of white SMD WHITE daytime running lights (strip stylee) To fit inside my headlights... After removing the headlights, and weighing up how i was going to bond the strips inside the headlights my mate suggested i ran some power through the strips first just to check they worked before i dremmelled out slats in the headlights... I had a shock when they lit up all mad colours, then flashed on and off! If i hadn't checked the strips, my headlights would have flashed multi coloured instead of my footwells! Reckon i'd have got a tug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haylo714 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Definteley need to write up a guide of how to fit these bad boys! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 BDC, how do these come on and do you have pics of where they are fitted/wired up/ thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddycain Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 No piccies as yet mate... And a fitting guide is simplicity itself... I chopped off the universal wedge plug fitting from the SMD LED boards that were fitted instead of the standard "sidelight bulbs", soldered the plug onto the bare wired LED strip, insulated the connections with heat shrink, plugged them in, and put on my sunglasses! B) The strips burst in to life as the doors are opened, or when the car is unlocked. My WHITE LED strips arrived this morning, now that me and my daughter are almost through laughing at my comical footwell lights, i think i'll fit the plain white strips soon.

Stoney871 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Cheers - when I fit my boring old unlit lockwoods I will feel sad now. Please stop adding these great mods, the temptation is getting out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
