Indeed. The holders aren't mandatory, but are probably a good idea.

I might do the VIP open-door treatment in white.

Switches are key, I have 6 of them:

-underseat/dash cathodes
-dash/AC lights
-door/roof handles
-exterior lights
-cupholder/seatback hooks
-glovebox/ashtray/dash box

 

I didn't get my lights yet, I did order them on sunday i think or maybe it was sat., either way I didn't get them yet.

 

I just got my LED's...I am going to spend all of tomorrow hooking them up. I can't wait till it is all done.

 

They are all hooked up now! I love it! I just went cruising around for a while. Oh and if anyone else is going to install led's in their car don't use superglue to hold anything electrical in place. I did that and almost set my car on fire.

 

any pix, prob not

 

car + fire = No more Car..... i still have not gotten my lights if they are not here tomarrow i will be ____ed.... but i will still want to get them.... i uess i will do some of this..... ...any way were did u end up puting them?? peace hop to get mine tomarrow...

 

Pics of the smoke...no. If you want pics of the lights I think I can do that. But I don't know how to post pics on here from my desktop.

I had put one in each vent, one in each door opener, and one in each door closer ( the thing you put your hand in to pull it shut. But i disconnected the vent ones and I am going to put a new set in there without the super glue this time. I guess I could just use ducktape. So hopefully that will work then.

 

i think i will go for the duck't tape to... i hope i get mine today!!

 

Yea that was embarrasing when it started smoking I am just lucky that I was only testing and didn't ahave it all set up otherwise I might have not been able to disconnect them before they burst into flames.

 

Those Radio Shack grommets work awesome and no fires...

 

When I went they didn't have any

 

the ones we order are to big any way they are made for 5mm ours are 10mm but dang they look nice i got mine yesterday.... i think i will order 40 more from that place they are cheep!!! about there about $1.85 that is hella cheep when just ordering them.. some places on ebay sell them for 4 for $14 - $20 pluss $5 shiping Thats $4.75 - $6.50 each... so i say we are geting a good deal here..... any way i think i will be puting some in today... hey did u need to take the hole dash off to do the vents waht would u say is the best way of doing to 2 vents by the doors? On the door hadles to close them were did u put the led's?? facing away from the person or facing them? or did u put them smaller parts od the handel?

Thanks for chating with me by the way.

 

yea u got any pix of yur final install?

 

Yea I got pics but I don't know how to get them from my computer folder to the web site i tried that whole img thing and that didn't work.

 

Yea it is a really good deal.

The way I did my vents by the doors was I took of the center console and then took out the head unit and the 3 screws around it...one to the left one above and one to the right. With those out I took off the speaker covers about the left and right vent and unscrewed the speaker, drilled a hole in the vent at an angle. For the wiring of those LED's I pulled the dash up slightly on the frond just enough so i could pass the wire down and run it underneath and run them to the center console area. If you need more details let me know.

I put them in both of the handles on all the doors...as for the ones that you pull it shut with I have them shining to the front of the car...EX:

this is the driver side door handle to close the door I put the LED on
the back edge and have it shining the direction of the "+"

Sorry that is the best i can do description wise but once I find out how to put pics oh here I can just show you the pics....Hope this helps though. Let me know if you need anything else

check out the fan LEDs, only $7 for 4, and they run on 12 volt!

 

the ones we got run off of a 12 volt if i am not mistaken

 

yes the ones we got is the best deal i have seen in a long time they were only $1.85 each shiped. we got them in a set of 20.....

Anyway "FeeLTHeBuRN" thank u for your input bud... i got the hole point thats exactly what i was going to do just was not shure of were to put the led but i was thinking there to. good place dose not get in the way.... i think i am just going to take the hole top dash off its only in there with 7 screws and there is a realy good DIY on the tech. section of this site i need to do it so i can put in the ones that will go under the top dash to light up the shelf above are glove box. i will show u waht i mean when i get it done this weekend. i think u might like the shelf lighted up. i will do it so u cant see the LED eather i am thinking of using a 11mm tubing to mack my own led holders so i dont have to just put the Led all sticking out like. Peac for now.....

^^^^^^^ thats waht u ment to do right??

 

Yea that's what I meant and that is the way it was when i typed it in without all the periods i just used spaces and for some reason it always crunched it so. I just left it as is.

 

Would you please put the link to the DIY. I have tried searching and can not find it. I have eight lights that I would like to put in my vents. For my RS 2.0. I am getting all of the inside mods done first before I start on the Major outside ones.
