Default Cupholder lights

I have now added LEDs to cupholders in the doors and in the center console. I used prewired LEDs from Oznium.com. They ship quickly and every light worked perfect. No duds! Look!

The rear cupholder isnt done in this pic. No grommets left.


The switch




the blue light on headliner from switch!



in the doors

Looks good. Just resize the pics with like MS paint or photoshop. Even photobucket has a tab where you can resize images.

You're kidding, right? + to + and - to chassis...


J/k, bro. In this case I just think he wired it directly to the switch.

Do people normally run power from the battery? Or do they tap from somewhere else?

No, the wires were run to the fuse box. I would have to have my hubby answer all the electrical questions. We had a hell of a time running the wires from the back doors though. We had to do this all by the seat of our pants not having a wiring diagram or anything. It sure was a learning experience.

My center cup holders come on with the lights, but I didnt want them all on when i was driving, thought it might be too much light on the interior and didnt want to get ticketed for it.
