Hi,
I just added a second dome light over the front seats. It is positioned so that the light shines into the driver's lap and down into the foot well. I just spliced into the cables going to the original light. Works well.

 

That's real clean looking. I used one from a VW.

 

Nice, the xB is needing of extra light for sure.

 

Check my profile. Mine is from an Xterra.

 

Nice! The xB could have really used a map light from the factory.

 

nice idea

 

I remember reading something about installing an over head console a while back.

can anyone point me to this post? and what console do you use?

 

i guess that i did mine the hard way i went to oznium and orderd 10 of the led lights in orange. i have 2 over front seats, then 2 above the rear seats, then 2 in a car club sign above my c-pillar brace and then 4 across the back of the hatch and they are wired up to a switch i put in that same hump area that you put the new dome light in

 

what lights did you use for the individuals scattered throughout?

 

i like the vw idea but then i would as if i was driving my old vw again and id prefer not to feel like i was driving my old vw ... but i do miss her..

 

Here is my other BOX & way cooler to drive the the Scion!!!





but don't get me wrong the box is a great daily ride & defiantly turn heads here in Toronto!

 

what did you use to attach the new dome light to the headliner?

 

nice i had a 87 scirocco ..

 

Thread jackers!



The yellow one is my daughters 98 GTI 2.0 stage 2 turbo. Fun/fast & shaved The baja is my toy I've had since I was 16. 1.8 GTI powered stage 2 turbo, low 13's

BTW Adam. That lighting is sik!

 

Ewwwwww, somebody got VOLKSWAGEN all over my Scionlife...

 

BTW, back on topic: if anyone is looking for more light over the stock dome (and let's face it, who isn't?), Oznium makes a plug-and-play 16-LED replacement that's Absolutely. Freaking. Fantastic. I have the green one, and I can light up other people's interiors with that business.

I would suggest any color other than red (which basically turns the car into a darkroom...not too useful if you're looking for something in the footwell), with the caveat that white is basically asking for your retinas to be burned out.

Having said that, a second dome light is FREAKING AWESOME. :D How hard is the headliner to remove? I'd be worried about damaging it - that's like a $900 part, innit?

 

I used the superflux 4-chip led's

and thanks rob i hope to be able to add some more soon to keep up with the rest of scikotics with the light show

 

yea how hard is removing the headliner???

 

it was not that hard but it is alot of poop to take out..you need to take out the sunvisors the clips the rearview mirror the o-poop handels and the 4 round tabs all the pillars a,b,c and then you just pull down the rubber liners around all the doors and the rear hatch.

it sounds complecated but it realy is not

 

Good job !! I did the write-up in the tech section for installing the second dome light in the rear over the cargo area. You have a good idea there.

Let me ask you:

How did you install it to the head liner? Did you just tap into the cross brace support that I think is in that area?
