Did a little light project over the weekend.

First i bought these, they come resistored so it makes my life much easier

Then i took apart a pair of these that i took off from my previous ride that was lying ard in the house. The LED inside (those really small square led) was fried and it was too trouble to replace them. Glad i didnt threw them away. :wink:

Did a simple bracket and drill a hole to fit the LED in

Used 3M (my fav brand!) heavy duty double sided tape and pasted it to the sconce

Dcool.... I did that too....

u have a real bB huh?

u have a real bB huh?

Yah, Dcool and me have the real bB, JDM sec, right hand drive, but then we are not from US...

i will be putting mine on in a few days, I will post some pics as well.......but yours ls lookin good....... :D ......the ones that I got were actually made for the bB...... :D

Dcool.... I did that too....

Cool ! Mine were spolit and i also didnt really like the blue coming out of it, almost too white, so i decided to change the bulb to blue LED to make it match the blue interior lighting of my current bB... plus the whole mod only cost.. S$ 8 for 3 pcs of blue LEDs, and S$2.50 for a led lighted toggle switch. ..total cost.. priceless.. :D

Now with fours of my under seats sound active blue cold cathodes blinking to the beat of the music and the 2 blue sconces in the car.. its almost feels like a lounge inside the bB at night..

Up coming Projects :

1) Mini LED light bar for the boot area
2) LED for all the interior door atches like what Mark2K did.. :P
3) Upholstery for the dashboard
4) UV cold cathodes or black light on the dashboard

That should keep me busy for a while.. :wink:

i will be putting mine on in a few days, I will post some pics as well.......but yours ls lookin good....... :D ......the ones that I got were actually made for the bB...... :D

WOAH !! Original bB lightings !! Post picts once you get them plzzzzzz... i bet those must have cost you a bomb shipping them all the way from Japan ! Wat brand are they ?


Thanks for your kind comments. :D I always believe if you want it to be in a way you like it, you got to DIY yourself.

I will post pics no doubt, as for cost of shipping, not much, I have a friend there that send s me things all the time, small items he usually does free shipping, this was a small item, so HEHE, they are made by a company called FOREST, a bid VIP lighting comp in Japan.......as for diy thing, no good at it at all.....maybe one day.......props to peeps that do it though.......

U guys ever see those sconces they have in nightclubs with the flame made of orange and black foil paper that has a lite behind it and is moved by a fan??? Those would be bad as hell to have on your pillars!

i think it looks cool, keep the pics comin.

Those flame sconces are pretty cool. It's funny that you mention them. My mom is doing the costumes for the local high school production of Beauty and the Beast, so she had my dad take apart a set of battery powered ones for the candleholder character. The housings they come in are pretty bulky, but it would be entirely possible to mount them on your pillars. Be warned; the fans are kind of noisy.

The LED door handles are pretty basic, the most difficult part is drilling the holes at the right angle. I also managed to break 2 of the handles when I was taking them out (you want to pull straight out from the side with the round peg/clip. don't force it!).

I myself took that idea from a website about someone's bB. Check it out here: http://www.impression-cba.com/my_bb/process10.htm

i like the door handle lighting and the a/c lighting as well, maybe ill try some of those if i am off the next weekend.

You broke 2 of em" ? Hmm.. maybe i have to take a good look at it before i take it out. There should be a catch or something holding the handles tight right ?

at first I thought it was one of the ghetto'est things I'd ever seen, from the daytime pic. But the night pics changed my mind to.....

pimp, PIMP!

Original and sweet. haha. YEAH!

I have to give you props on the handy work, but it's a little gawdy for my taste. Good work though!

Thanks for all the comments everyone !! :D

The real test will this wed night which i will be driving down to the clubs with them lights on and see how the chicks react to them :wink:

I aint got no money, but i still need some honey haha.. :lol:

.....or how the po-po reacts to them! Just kidding. SHOULDN'T be anything illegal about them, but you know how they like to hisass kids.

I'm a big fan of lighting, but i think those sconces just look nasty. Get the crystal shower knobs for the AC and it would look just like a bathroom...

Sorry to sound so harsh, but i can't even play it off. I guess I prefer lighting to be more covert than that.

For those of us who do like the accent lighting.....where can we get them? I have an overhead DVD system for the back seat, so I lost my dome light......the sconces would be a great accent to add the overhead lighting back to my vehicle. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

it's like having a house night light lamp in your box.. eww.

do something a little more recessed IMO.. where the light shines on parts the car already had..

does anyone know of a smaller housing?

heres what my housing is gonna look like...this weekends project is to put these in with white leds in the rear cargo area so that i can have light back there...hopefully ill have pics next week if nothin goes wrong
