you did it! i'm camping out in front of ur thread for the write up on this one haha

i want to see what u did to have it turn on when u open it
...does it only do that when the headlights are on? or always when u open it?

 

What type of switch did you use to activate the glove box light?

 

It's wired into accessory

You guys want a DIY?

 

Oh those are way nicer. Even comes with a control box with settings too
I wanted to mainly have to turn on when I open the door. Does it require extra work or any modifying the kit to get it to work that way?

 

SOUND ACTIVATION MODE WHAT -- WANT.

...what, this forum removes all caps? I can't be excited? Oh, guess it can't ALL be in all caps.

 

Nope, it's easy you just need to hook it up to the door switch/trigger.

The problem is that I didnt do it myself so I need to dig under the dash to see what the install guy did

 

you did write in all caps!

I guess you could have done some like this to show your excitement:

SOUND ACTIVATION MODE WHAT -- WANT

 

I had to edit it to add non-caps text first. NO MAKE IT RED. Blue is not excited, blue is chill, like your attitude and car.

 

ARE YOU SAYING HIS CAR'S NOT EXCITING?!?!?

Yeah, I can do all caps too.

hmm...So do you think I could possibly pull this off if I tinkered around under there? I would have to rate my experience a zero out of 10 on these things. Just so you know. Haha!

 

Please accept my apologies your Highness

here it is:

Well here is the wiring diagram but finding the right wire could be tricky.

I should prolly look into it first. I'll try to find some time this week

 

Great work! I fully plan to steal many of your ideas!

 

been following build since page 1 and was curious as to benefits from doing this mod?

 

THe mod insulates the AC lines from the Exhaust and the Engine which get VERY hot and located right next the the AC. Unfortunately many car manufacturers dont bother insulating them or moving them out of the way.

It improves AC performance!

and it costs $1-$5 depending on how nice of an insulator you want. Sold in home depot

 

Question, what is the red line in:

and why does it look like it is about to make sweet sweet love to the alternator belt and pulley?

 

haha that's the additional grounding my friend and i put. I guess I'm reallyy leading the wire on lol since it will never touch the belt or the pulley

 

the insulation held up GREAT after an hour of highway driving. Looks like new!

 

Yeah, after you found the heat range for it (-297°F to +220°F or -183°C to +105°C, for the record) I wasn't too worried. I just finished doing my car, which was WAY easier.

 

Hey Yuriy, are you going to the meet tomorrow night? I wanna see the glove box/ac insulation

 

I'm not stopping you. You can always drive up to check stuff out
