That's what I was gonna do too. I was also thinking of sticking an LED strip under the prnd12, but may go with a short cold cathode because it would be a more even light.

Yeah, my LED bulb went out after 2 years. So I've been wondering what would be a good fix, would a strip fit in there easily?


> Indeed a strip does.
I've never messed with cold cathodes.

Default Parking lights not working! Which fuse?

I got my glove box and oven lights working, and I hooked up the dimmer wire on my headunit.

As for the cupholder/shifter lights, I blew the fuse, I had the switch on like an idiot when I went to test +/-. The wires are the same color of course.

So which fuse would the parking lights and speedo lights be?

When you put the LED's in did you have some kind of trim around them or is it just a hole with a light in it? I would kind of like something with some trim so it looks stock/clean.

Well in the compartment below the stereo you cannot really see the light itself, just the light emitting from it.

Oh, the LED module isn't the best looking, but it doesn't look bad at all.

You could buy another dome light for the rear. I think it's a little pricey though.

Ah I wish I could find a junked up one, I need so many little parts from it, ones that I'm missing or scratched up.

I got everything working. I'm a little disappointed, the "blue" LEDs I got look strangely purple.

They are really bright. I folded the lights back to face the side of the cup holder and they still reflect off the windshield a little.

Here's a small LED strip for the shifter light:

Here's a single LED for the "oven":

Rear light is under the fabric insert.

Pic of rear cup holder area? Dark lit up. Also where did you get the +/- for the power of the LED?

The rear for now just has a small blip of light, I think I'm gonna move the LED down in the area where the screw is located. Because now if I remove the fabric the LED lights up the whole car. It's a little ridiculous.

The oven LED is T-tapped into the cig lighter wires.

You will need the ultra thin.
Also ask if they can give you one with a short wire, the light bulb is seriously 1 centimeter away, they gave me so much wire that I had to shove the slack beside the dome light.
I got 2.0"x 2.0". It is the perfect size.
Green isn't that great and blue is pretty good looking.
I think white or orange would be cool.

I've seen a comparison on there.
I Google imaged it:

I would like white, but I wanted something that people would notice was different. (People aren't very observant)
Blue does the trick.

Yeah I wish I had gotten cool white instead of green as the other color I chose.

I really can't wait until I get my table for the passenger door AND the Clazzios.
