Not sure if this has been posted here or not. Did a search , but found nothing. I installed LEDs in the cup holder so I could see at night to put my drink in there. Here are a few pics:





For power, tied into the illumination wire to the radio....orange wire with the thin blue stripe.






I do not take responsibility if you do this to your vehicle and you mess it up. Do it at your own risk...

 

Cool!! Good idea!!!

 

The instalation looks complicated. Or not??

 

You should show a pic of the lights at night time.

 

I have one, but the pic does not do it justice at all.

 

That is a kick a$$ idea. I don't care for the fact that you can't see the holder at night. I've even had the idea of putting a mercury switch on the holder so the lights would only work when the holder is in use.

 

I don't have that same cup holder, but I just flip on the interior lights for a sec if I can't see clearly...

I like the idea, but not that the lights are green. Do they come in different colors?

Yes, you can get them in different colors at Radio Shack. I went with green to match the rest of the interior lights. The LEDs dim with the interior lights...

 

Is there a way to install these into the door handles on the exterior so that i could make them light up when i lift the handle so i can see the key hole without having to feel for the hole or ding the key into my new paint job.

 

Thats pretty interesting. I had no idea they made such a thing, but I also dont really dig the green.
