Re: DIY Cathode Lighting: License Plate, Dome Lamp, Trunk lighting... **56k=certain d
Thanks. I have an idea for how to high the wires, but it would require drilling through the dome lamp's base. Should work great, I just like to keep my mods reversible. For those who don't care, go for it! It would work great.
I added a guide on the trunk lighting today. The trunk lighting was a PITA to troubleshoot and figure out, but with what i learned, it shouldn't be too hard. Hardest part will be remembering which direction the diodes go.
I have thought about putting together a few "kits" for these guides and selling them. They would have all the wires sleeved, and I'd put a fuse and resistor into the circuit for safety and longer life, and any color available for cathodes could be chosen. Maybe even get a male plug for the stock wiring, to make it literally plug and play. I would do the trunk internal lighting and the license plate lamp, I'll have to figure out the parts costs to determine a reasonable price. The trunk lighting would be very nice since many people will be turned off to the idea because of the difficulty to make it yourself. If anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM and I will get back to you when I have more details and a better idea of pricing.
great write up man!! looks good. only thing is that you see the wires in the dome light once it is on....just being picky....lol good job tho!!
