I have cup holder lights on order. Hoping to use an "add a circuit" to piggy back one of the fuses, possibly the cig lighter fuse.

I have LED footwell lights, but I chose to run the power directly to the battery so if I chose to, I could have them running even with the car off

 

I have two 10" blue neon tubes to match the ambient lighting already in my V and they run through and extension of the cigarette lighters and I also have four LEDs in the cubby behind the gear shifting knob because i can't see much at night time. Pm me if you want to see some pics

 

Just got my "add a circuit" delivered from ebay today. I bet the world would love to see your pics

 

I'd love to see pictures of these installed.

 

Yes please post some pics of the LED's. Hey Trilenium where did you get the add a circuit and how much did it set you back?

 

Cost me $10.51CDN for 2 including shipping. I shall sit and wait for everyone to tell me I overpaid. I am installing blue LED light strips in the footwells, under seats, in door pocket and in cubby. They will turn on 2 ways...when doors open and by a switch if I want to keep them on.

x3 on the pics please.. this is a great idea

 

Any updates on this DIY?

sorry for a newb question but how do you know what AMP / V you need to buy?

 

In for the pics.

Also have see some rather cool looking lighted acrylic inserts for the cup holder and cubby hole under the 12v cig outlets on eBay. Not sure if anyone here has tried them tho.

Thanks Avikozo!

That's a pretty good spot to tap into. Could work for under dash LEDs as well.

Just needs a rocker switch in line to turn them on/off as needed.

Hi x_diesel_x

According to the instructions you conect the led cup holder to the wiring for the interior small lights inside the car witch will turn off the nimute you close the car doors

 

Do you mean when you close the doors and leave the car?

Cause I believe they are tapping into the power for the shift selector lights. Which would turn on as soon as the car is switched to Acc or On.

+1 to Diesel, tapping power from an existing circuit would only give power to the mod when the stock lighting would normally be on, but i would route a switch to the little button combo set where the eco button and dash light dimmer is

 

Actually I thought about that location as well, but contrary to other switch "blanks" I've come across before that panel there seems to be all a one piece cluster that in turn plugs into a harness. So it's a bit more complicated than just drilling a hole for the switch and done.

And while thinking about where and how, I had the question, if we tap for power on a circuit that gets controlled by interior lights dimmer switch.. That would mean that the new illumination we splice in will also be controlled and dimmed by the factory switch.. Correct?

Seriously -- cup holder lights? There are lights above the rearview mirror that target the cup holders. They work well. And if I put a cup in there -- I know it is there because the ambient light (if driving at night) shows it.

Party Pooper!

 

Someone needs to have a Turvis cup of water and snap a pic of the light shining through the cup at night. I imagine it would look like an aquarium in the car.

I think the lights are a cool idea.

 

Ohhh, this is great ideia!

 

ok how will that work if you have a manual?

 

I would love to have footwell lighting installed, triggered or wired through the map lights. I think that would be the most sensible way to have it trigger, and would not alter the stock look in any way. I just don't want to have to rip the entire interior out to install such a setup. For now, I'm leaving it stock.

 

Say no more. Just do it.
