My orignal lighting project

[bboyskidz]

So I was bored one day at work and found this little strip of flexible white LEDs on ebay...

I was actaully looking for some interior lighting to put in the boot for my stereo install but 10 Minutes previous to that, I was also admiring the Audi R8.... does anyone get where I am going with this?

Mk3 Audi R8 Golf FTW

kgo!

Yeah!!!!


Parkers only:


Main Beams:




This is how I wired it up:
1. run power wire from both lights through the fire wall and up behind the dashboard.

2. pull out lighting thingo (i believe it is called a loom?)

3. turn lights to the 'parker' position

4. use a vu meter to work out which pins are for the parker lights

5. jam the wires into the back of the connector

6. re-assemble


Here you can see that I'm holding the power wires for the light strip


and here is a better example of where the wires go

don't hold me to it but i believe the one further to the left is the negative.


I don't think the pictures really do them justice, because they look sweet in the night.


Opinions are more than welcome

if only they were just a little bit shorter - then they would have looked like angry eye brows! hahaha

Photos, no doubt don't do them justice, so I'll reserve judgement till is seem them in person

I was wondering though, why didn't you do them on the bottom like on the R8?

[joshyd-mk2gti]

cool idea. yeh id like to see them along the bottom of the light. is there anyway to turn the brightness down?

These are pretty cool! I think I need some blue ones for a future project...

10/10 for doing something unique. It will be interesting to see them in real life.

Great Job! I've been waiting for someone to do this and you've done it well. If u develop a kit and include all parts and easy instructions you'll make $1million.

Interesting..I reckon you should have started from the edge to the center like the R8.
