DIY - LED Ambience Light on 4DR sedan :)

bad andy · 04-10-2006, 12:37 AM

I tried to put this into the DIY forum, but didn't have access. Perhaps this is the next best place?

Here's my DIY for a custom LED "ambience light" (like the Si has) install on my 4DR EX:

Great DIY

Looks alot brighter than the red light on my SI. I am thinking of adding a red LED in each footwell to go with the one on my headliner.

Very nice. I've been thinking about doing this, but I just haven't had the time. Looks great!

Looks good My ex already had it but I installed a bunch of other leds. 1 in each foot well, 1 in cup holder, 1 in the cebtre console, 1 in each of the centre storge units by the aux in put, 1 in the glovebox and 1 in the drivers side storage below the power mirrors.

ok, maybe a dumb question, but why not just buy that part from an EX Coupe?

BTW you can either get the stock led lighting or the stock fogs not both - honda only provided stock wiring for one option option. So if you use the stock wiring you can only wire in the fogs or the led kit, not both.

...and when it is, it's gonna be like $100 for the assembly

Together, even if you need to purchase the tools - I did this mod for $35, not to mention you have control over led color, brightness, placement, and when you want it on or off. :P

ritalin guy.. I think you're referring to the 'official' led kit, which adds lighting to the footwells. This mod simply adds an led where the Si has one, and the others don't.

Thanks for commenting y'all
