heree are the photos i did this on the morning but had to wait all day to take the pictures :p

 

wow this is really cool, however it seems like every one else's orange factory led are a lot brighter then mine...any ideas?

 

it's the camera, you can't take the photo with flash as the lights won't show up, and because its so dark, you make it so that the shutter stays open more time so more light show on the picture

 

Man you definitely did a better job than me, I need to add more!

The computer lights came out good except the passenger light had spazzed out and died by the time I went to take a picture. I tested them for like 5 minutes then came back later when it was dark to get a picture and it was buzzing. I guess thats one thing you will never encounter with LED's. It definitely looks awesome, I just need to order another tube for the passenger side. (~$2 + shipping).

I was wondering when people would start asking for updates, glad some of you took the initiative to start modding on your own. Summer school started a week ago and I highly underestimated the workload I would have, so I do not have hardly any free time currently and for the next few weeks.

 

I added 3 leds on each side, im planing on tomorrow and add some more on the cupholders if i get to do it i'll post more pics

 

can you take a pic of where you drilled the hole for the bulb

 

sorry for the late reply here are some pics

This is in the top part

This is in the side


And on the bottom


here is another pic showing where

 

sweet. That looks really nice. why didnt you use like a led strip like the r56?

 

i dunno , i don't know where to buy the led strips here and i don't like buying on the internet it takes to much time, it needs to get to the PO Box then i need to go to US and pick stuff

 

pep boys or autozone.. I might do that when i get my mini

 

Good grief that's super hot. I totally want this but have the mechanical aptitude and know-how of a 5 year old. (I touch; it fails).

I actually just want to change my int. door handle LEDs to blue from orange... and maybe light up my side door panel bit like the pics above or put LED tubing around/inside my front speakers (the ones near the knees). Obviously 2 problems - 1) I don't understand/know how to do it, 2) if I tried I'd shoot myself if I messed up my car and the trim.

Preferably I'd like to have someone else who knows how to do it, do it for me. lol. Know any good MINI Modders in the Philly area?? :D :D :D

 

it's really very easy
you just have to splice a cable and add some more thats it

 

You make it sound easy... But How do you remove the trim without messing it up?

And do you need fancy tools? Like, more than a screw driver... >_>

 

i did it with a flat screw driver
i didn't find the other tools so i grabbed one and see if it fitted and it did, so you really just need a screw driver :p then you remove the thing of the speakers and the door handle it just comes off by pulling it really easy, and the reflector thing theres a hidden screw there, and i almost forgot there a clip in the cushion thingy :P, it isn't so hard im 16

 

You should make a How To with pics. Cause I think a bunch of people are interested in this

 

I just did one side of mine too. I ran out of light... :(

I forgot to mention, its an '04 so no puddle or door handle lights. Its easy to route the wire. And I also mounted mine in the silver part of the door, I thought it would look more OEM, but the light is too direct. I may end up diffusing the light a little.

Next project is actually to put LEDs in the outside door handles.

 

looks good

ouside the door handles that would be awesome , maybe connect it to the light thats on the bottom of the door so that it's only on when you unlock the car or open doors

 

I don't have those lights. That's and 05+ I am going to wire them into the same floor light as the lights in the door pocket. This way they come on and off with lock/unlock

 

hmm well that works too :P

 

What are the waterfall lights? The lights coming from above?

I will have to post the photos of mine soon. I just have to find the time to do the rear to match the front and then I will el posto the photos.

 

Where did you add the lights on the rear i couldn't find any place

 

We just did this to my friends xB. We installed a total of over 500 LED's (including 17 suplerflux's)... It's crazy!!! I haven't done anything crazy. Just replaced the factory lights with white Oznium flexible LED strips. Good jobs guys. Looks awesome. Oh! Superflux's in the cup holders are killer! You put a water bottle in there, and it's like nothing else. I'll have to post pictures later. Ah, found some pictures.








Mine.

 

The pockets in the back and the rear foot wells and maybe the trunk. Also I like the idea of the roof lighting.... question is how....

 

hmm, how? we need to know! xD
this vacatons are a bit boring so i might buy more and more leds some more wires, and start more project

 

I had thought about pulling my sun visors out, and putting a superflux in the hole where the arm was. Then wire that up to my interior dome light so they come on and illuminate down from the ceiling...
