Weeeee...

Well I finally have a little bit to show. First, thanks to all who posted before about wiring, modifications, and well...pretty much everything. Through reading I was able to find out exactly how to do what I wanted. Appreciate it...

Oh, and since I'm not sure how to pull the gallery pics to a post I included links to my other albums. Enjoy. :D
http://picasaweb.google.com/sanbient/MichaelLights (This album shows a couple different shots of the interior lights. For the footwell, I have blue LED light similar to this [http://www.oznium.com/led-domelight]. The boot features both LED strips and an ordinary blue LED bulb. The strip is switched for times that I need more light. Didn't want the brightness all the time. As for the dome light, because I'd seen others and they were just dull looking when turned on, I messed around with the flexible LED strips --Thanks ImagoX-- and used a festoon adapter to connect them. It now gives 12 beautiful looking lights that meets the brightness I wanted. Was actually happy that it worked how I wanted. lol)

http://picasaweb.google.com/sanbient/Mini (This album shows lots of things from the europlate, my car pc--btw..awesome to have, my eyes, my front LED light, to random shots on a trip to Jerome I had a while back.)

Anyway, enjoy...I had fun messing around with this and my list of future changes is growing daily it seems. Unfortunately they are held off until I get a new job. *hint to anyone in Phoenix area. lol*

Cheers,
Michael/Sanbient

HA! You read my mind on the scanner! I was actually thinking about doing something like that but you totally beat me to it. Is that one of Oznium's scanners or something else? Theirs is so pricy, because it will make so many different color/pattern combos, while I'd want just blue...

Nicely done!

Not from oznium..Really I don't know where I got it. :D When I first bought my car, I was joking with my friends that soon it would obliterate K.I.T.T. Jokingly they bought me that light (my guess is something like this http://www.knightlight.co.uk/pr-ks4064.asp -- ICELED would be my other guess but no label on it)...They were a little shocked when I had it installed and mounted the weekend I got it. lol That was my first mod though and it's been an addiction ever since. [My car now talks to me -- british accented voice of course -- as the computer boots up if I have the aux channel selected lol]
