Springs are doing pretty good man, I may have to get alignment because i have some camber. Also, my rear passenger tire is a half inch higher than my driver sided rear. How are your tanabes?

 

tanabes had a squeak in the right rear wrapped them from top to bottom. Thanks for all your help.

I had to get an alignment also, I hope the alignment fixed the rear passenger problem.

Gotta go to pep boys and find some LED's

 

bump*

 

someone don't know what rice is

 

look like it took a long tome

 

Hey man, i've been looking to do this myself and i just had a few questions about what you did and what i think i might be planning to do.

As being someone who "at the moment" has little car wiring experience...i once used the clips before that you used to put the wires together, and i dont really like them, i feel like it'll come apart. I was looking more to solder it. Anyway tho

I dont know where to run wires to what, someone told me in the Door he ran the wires to the window switch like you did, but put a resistor on it. Now, how do i know what resistor to get for this, and do i need to do it to all the LED's i'm running?
Second could i run a power wire from the battery, to a fuse, through the firewall, then to a switch, then connect all the LED's to 1 power source? (i might be looking to hook up some cold cathodes as well, thats why i asked this)

Any help or advise for this would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot guys.

 

Ask Karl, man... we did mine.

 

looks good thanks for the tips

 

nice dude. I like the door handles much. How does it look from the outside at night? Will u have a risk of ticket for distracting others while driving ?

Clap clap ... lol

 

i like to use solid instead of stranded, maybe because i like to solder lol.

 

Very very nicely done!

 

I've had the lights in my car for almost a year and they're going strong. Everyone seems to love them and no problem with the cops.

 

Sarcasm: Mannnn thats so FRIED RICE!



Anyways GREAT write up.

 

hey so I'm gona resurrect this thread lol...

I'm having a problem. My driver's side door Led works fine but on the passenger side we couldn't find the same wire you mentioned. in my 06, there is only one black wire. So we wired to that one black wire, and the negative to the grounding bolt. But strangely after a few minutes it stopped working. Then it stopped for a while. Then it started working again, but stopped shortly after that. So I looked for the 12v line, and found a tan line on the same bundle of wires that are blue tipped. Well that worked, but for some reason the led doesn't turn off when the car is turned off. So I guess this is a constant 12v line? at any rate, does anyone know the correct wire to tap for the 06 tc...?

 

Just try using a volt meter to test out the wires. Take a piece of wire, strip both ends, and then stick one end into the harness, and start testing out the wires.

 

*Bump* for night pix.

 

Hmmm, I went to PepBoys just because I had the day off and no spare LEDs laying around. 3 for $7. ridiculous, plus I want quality so I'm gonna have to wait and buy them from OZ.

 

Quality? The pepboys ones are just fine. I actually like them better than OZ. OZ does not provide you with a very long wire which makes it hard to strip. But they are cheaper and work just as well.

 

excellent writeup

 

Does anyone still have an interest on how to do the rear cupholders?
