nevermind, i just ordered a pair of LED strips from amazon. :D like $16.

also ordered the pioneer backup camera and foglamp so will do all together. going to relocate the bypass switch to one of the rockers.

so for me:

Rocker1: DVD bypass sw
Rocker2: interior LED (footwell area)
Rocker3: rear foglamp

Sorry Ken. I've been working on my wheel/tire package and wasn't following the thread. But I got my LED's from here LED's and I bought these My LED's in straight chrome blue.
I set up my switches pretty much the same way.
1. Sub Amp Bypass
2. Interior Lights
3. Momentary on for something someday maybe :tup:

The dummy switch covers go down and out the bottom so you gotta take the cup holder out. The replacement switches will go in from the top.

LED's 2
Here is another good website as well. Nice install man! Super clean.

MJ- when you did your LED's did you pull the +12v from the center console's cigarette socket? I was looking through the servicemanual and thought that would be a very easy tap(?). :)

I can use that for the rear fog too since the bulb is 21w (1.75A). :D

kenchan 10-04-2009 11:19 PM

i realized it's kinda tough to get at that center console 12v so left it as is and removed
the front 12v and converted it into my power source.

i never use that front socket plus people keep kicking it by accident when something's
plugged in so removed it completely. 2 screws and that whole assembly comes off. :p

regular spade connectors slide right in. very convenient.

yah, my car is in pieces right now in the garage. got 4 different little projects going at the same time. :icon17:

so any pictures of your interior light install? :)

kenchan 10-07-2009 12:43 PM

gotz my rocker switches this am. :) looks to be high quality.

i also wired up these LED strips last night, just a matter of hooking
up the switches. these come with double stick tape on the back
side so i mounted them under the seats where there is a stainless
bar that runs side to side (and stationary even if you moved the
seats).

will take some shots tonight. put a sharpie in the pict for size reference.

now the only problem i got is removing the damn dummy
rear fog lamp. the bolt spins with the 10mm nut on both. :mad:
i think im going to drill into them and bust them off.

theDreamer 10-07-2009 12:45 PM

Which bolt? The higher or the lower one?
When putting mine back in the higher one (if under the car the one on the left side) went in and then started spinning near the end.

Sucks to hear, and it is not exactly an easy area to do work in to begin with.
