thanks alot guys, im in the middle of my finals this week, but i plan on doing a "how to" on all the lights in my tC after this week, just give me some time to get the pics taken, i want this write-up to be very helpful so i will spend alot of time on it. as for the leds in the reverse lights heres a pic they are just slipped in there with the stock reverse lights, so while im reversing it still lights up white but when im parked i can have the leds on, and as always the pictures dont do it justice it really does look amazing, alot better than i expected...without further ado heres the pics...

Edit: oh ya, and the glowing from my trunk you see is the amp all lit up, heres some pics for those of you who havent seen before...and no i didnt have a shop do this, it is all custom by me and only me, and also i am not a car audio master installer, that setup in the trunk cost me maybe 30 bucks if that, and took about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half of my time, and also i still have a spare tire in there...

well i would say if i had a good write up to follow i couldve done it in no time, the only part that took long was figuring out what i wanted to do, and yes they are connected to a switch and here are some pictures for you, i really like the switches i just picked them up from walmart (a supercenter btw) they dont have them in the regular walmarts i dont think, they only cost me like 3 bucks each anyways here ya go...thanks again...

switches are upside down ... but cool !!!

hmmmm, i never thought about that, but on the back of the switch it shows where to hook up the ground, acc, and power...and if i flipped the switch around, the words would be upside down, so i think thats the way its supposed to go, not that it matters really i guess its just personal preference, thanks though.

PS. i still need recommendations on who to send my gauges to, thanks again!!!!

that looks sweet...im totally jacking your led in the reverse light concept...thats awesome.

ya the leds in the reverse lights look great, i think they are my favorite right underneath the underlighting of course, plus it was extremely easy to do...and anything that is easy to do is a plus in my book...;)

it seems like u ahve a good amount of switches.. is it possible to run all those wires into just 1 switch?

paintball369
05-05-2006, 04:35 AM
of course its possible, but i dont like to drive with my reverse leds/door pockets on plus its illegal to have those reverse leds on while ur driving, so thats one switch, plus i wanted a seperate switch for my underlighting, then the other controls the footwells, cupholders, and air vents, so i like/need them
