Im working on hooking up some white lights in the turn signals that come on with the dome light when you unlock it. cool huh



well, i finished the driver side and im pretty happy with it. i have 4 super white leds hooked up and they project out about 10 feet or so and light up just under the mirror for an easy viewable path to the door. the pix and the video do no justice.

very nice im not sure the point of it but its pretty cool..u might wanna work or ur cinematography skills because u can only see the lights and everything else is gray. but i like how u added lights to the turn signals

 

Very nice! :D

A few questions...

Did you replace the amber LEDs we have in there with the white ones and then wired them to the dome lights?

And does your turn signals still work?

EDIT

Just watched the video, it answered my questions...

 

well i go out side a lot when its dark and cant see where the hell im walking so these light me up a path....about the video i was trying to brighten it up a bit and it turned out that way

 

Thats pretty dang sweet!! ...so..wanna do my car too...

I wish!! How about you just put instructions up so I can do it myself...I don't feel like taking that long of a road trip!!

i will do the write up tomorrow, but it will only be on ScionSmoke.com

 

That's pretty creative! Looks good!

 

thanks

 

Oh okay that makes sense and i get where ur coming from....happend to me a couple times too i just ____ everyone off though and hit the panic button on my key

 

i was thinking of hte same idea, except mine were gonna be drilled down so they only shine on the car, if its pitch black, and you walk toward a bright light, you cant see what is behind that light... so in a way, it works but also can hinder your visibility as well... it would be more efficent if you didnt directly see the led as in drill it so it faces directly down and lights up the ground or used them under the car to light up where the car is exactly. as when you have underbodies, the glow bounces back up and hits the side of hte car makin it visible, so you can see the door.

 

damn ive wanted to do this for a little over a year. my dads volvo has them ony its called "home lighting" with volvo it looks so nice

 

very creative man.

 

cool idea. i've seen a few of these. i just dont know if its legal here in CA. anybody know? i've been wanting to get those white side mirror turn signals.

 

you could not wait. lol. looks nice. im goin to have to look at it when i get a chance

 

and just to be clear, these are not the turn signals. they only come on when the dome lights are on, either when you unlock it or the door is open.
i will be switching the LED's to look more uniformed than they do

 

so how did u hook it up to the dome light tho ? Im planning to have my front footwells on with the courtesy lights but cant find the power wire. help !!!

 

errr.. connect it to the dome light circuit?

there's diagrams in the wiring diagrams stuff... that you can download... *cough*... sticky!
