Liametc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Love it, did you have the wiring under there then just put in the bulbs?? I can't seem to find it in mine, may have to do some detective work on that... You need some fiesta mats now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Is it easy to fit? I didn't get the ambient kit on my ZS but want the red footwell lights. Will the wiring be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahlegs Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 they are strip leds and the wiring is not there as standard but has been integrated into the courtesy lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liametc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Where'd you get that from then??? wiring is easy enough to do I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus250 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 that looks reali good! I'd like footwell lights in our mk6 fiesta when we've got it...is there an actual mounting place for a standard ford light or similar on the mk6?

rocky1722 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yes, that looks really good. If anyone puts in the wiring for footwell lighting can someone post a how to ;) , I think a lot of people would be very grateful to add them in.

Steven Dark Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looks good, a lot brighter than my red LED lights in mine. I have the ambient lighting in mine and the footwells are just wired into the courtesy lighting. So the footwell light go off rather than stay on with the ambient lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Ecc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That looks fantastic, can you get some pics of it all in place? and I've just noticed the audio controls on your steering wheel light up red never noticed if mine do this so this is something I will investigate!

sarahlegs Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 there is no standard lights in the fiesta, you can get similar light strips of eBay and there stuck in position with double sided tape, will take some more pics of where they are located Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmcdermott Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Where is the wiring for the coutesy lighting please, I have just ordered some LEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Where is the wiring for the coutesy lighting please, I have just ordered some LEDs? unless the car comes with leds as standard all leds wired in need a resisitor simply they are low voltage items and run on a lower voltage than standard bulbs wiring them in without resistors will cause them to burn out eventually as people are finding out fitting leds into there cars some bulbs come with a resistor built in so these are best to use but most of these strips dont and it needs to be bought seperately. example a golf had leds fitted by the owner who brought it in with weird electrical issues in that the interior lights on the dash etc were dulling on there own an auto electrician found the problem in 1 minute the leds that were fitted with no resistors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico. Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 right as most of you have a 3door on this forum this wont apply to many of you! but do you reckon wiring up these LED's and sticking them too the underside of the seats creating almost a rear footwell light or what ever it is called would look good? i just cant find a set of led's with a really long cable cos i do tend too chuck the seat all the way back alot when i bored waiting for people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazarooney Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That looks great, I've been considering doing something like this for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caveman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have just done this today to my Zetec S with blue LEDs (no im not a chav) as the car is blue and so is the interior, I used the connection from the courtesy light. I followed a thread from the site and it works perfectly. comes on and of when you open the car and fades out as usual. The lights are not on all the time. Will try find the thread and post it in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caveman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sorry dont know how to copy the title straight into the post. This is the guide i followed. I used 3 30CM 15 SMD lights (small leds), 2 cord electrical wire and a connector, cost £11. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11992&view=findpost&p=78327&hl=%2Bambient+%2Blighting&fromsearch=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
