Default Write ups for the tC

I'm just interested in seeing what write ups people are interested in, and if I can be of some assistance. I am soon to be taking much of my car apart again and can take pictures and do write ups for just about everything I've done.

So far here's what I have and can do DIY write ups on within a week or so.
-----------------------------------------------
Custom door lighting (lighting the pocket in the doors and in the speaker grills)

Shift console Light replacement (I've had numerous questions about this)

AVIC-D1 Bypas (Kinda weary about this one, however I'll do it if the mods allow it)

Blaze Kit install (I don't know if there is a write up for under carriage lights for the tC yet)

Key Ring Color change (very similar to that of the gauge clusters)

and possibly others (just ask) because I have several things I'm either working on or thinking about. I think that these Ideas are ones that haven't had DIY's posted yet, so I'm just seeing what people are interested in.

I have the Eclipse AVN 5435, but I didn't ground the parking brake all the time to acess these features. I grounded only the groung input signal wire from the radio so that my parking brake light is still functional. Is that not possible on yours?

Custome Door Lighting and the blaze kit ones would get a read out of me.
maybe even figuring out how to light the rear cup holders and those storage areas next to them with LEDs............

Were you the guy that installed the AVIC-D1 by yourself? Because I'm planning on installing mine by myself, and I need help on that.
I would also like to see the by-pass trick and fog lights.
Thank You

I definitely would love to see some write-ups....they are always a big help.....Just one note before you complete a write-up....PLEASE go into good detail about how to wire certain things up....ie fogs, leds in car, etc. most people, like myself, know how to rip apart the car but are not so good with the wiring, grounding, splicing etc.
So Please cover that part well....dont forget pics too...

THANKS in Advance

I can do this. I'll try to do it early next week.. I'm kinda slammed with school work right now. But I'll also add the PS2 with hard wiring the power

Like I said above I'll do that as soon as I have time.. I don't think that this will take but 20 minutes so I'll probably do this one first.


As for pictures and details I'll do everything I can to make the install easier.
