Default New service, Interior LED lights fitting. Footwells, door cards, boot...

Here's a new service I now offer, interior LED lights fitting. Can fit LEDs to footwells, door cards, rear parcel shelf, boot etc

Can do them in any colour you like, can also get colour changing LED strips Amber footwell LED's look great in a rover 75

Can wire them so they come on automatically when you switch your headlights on, or alternatively can wire them as ignition live so they come on whenever the key is turned in the ignition. Can also fit manual override switches

Here's some photo's of one fitting I've done today.
















Manual override switches fitted as requested by the owner of the car, one turns on/off the front footwell led's and the other tuns on/off the rear leds. These leds are wired to come on automatically when the headlights are turned on.



I can also provide DIY fitting kits with wiring guides if you'd like to have a go at fitting yourself

Hi Rick,
I'm interested in a diy with fitting/wiring guide for footwell lights for my Connie. Also possibly door cards, but that would mean keeping the door bins tidy.
Would you kindly advise on cost inc postage/packing.
Many thanks,
Martyn

Looks awesome!
Would be nice if they come on with the interior light.

Be good if you could do the ones that people have put into the interior lights to illuminate gear stick area and rear seating area

Hi Martyn, I can do 4 x led strips for the footwells and the leds for the door cards for £45 posted with the wiring guide

Cheers they can be wired to come on with the interior light instead of when your headlights are switched on

Yeah its a really old thread I think... its the ambient lighting that comes with a lot of new cars.. 2 LEDs fittid into the black part on interior light so that it gives a slight glow over the centre console area.. think it would look good similar to this post on a bmw site

Think if it is slightly recessed it would look good so you cant see rhe source of the light kind of thing

are there any pics of this mod or a similar thing on another car? As I've never seen it before. Does the led stay on all the time?

It comes on with the lights so it lights up centre console.. most newer cars come with it now.

I must admit that I do miss the button on my Saab that shuts off all the instrument lights except the section of the speedo that your using. It would also turn on the rev counter light if you were over revving it or the fuel / temp gauges if there was a problem.
