A/C Power / LED cup lighting/ switch install

Did a couple mods this past week. Here are a couple pics. I can do write ups if someone needs it.

first one is of the Switch install in preparation of the hood scoop lighting





The next one is the LED lighting I instaled to illuminate the lower forward cup holders at night. They were wired into the fan control panel above it and come on with the dash lights.






The last pic is of the A/C plug I installed into the back side of the console. It is tapped off of the A/C power underneath the console.

 

i like it.. did you take pics to post from the whole mOD.. Might be interested in doing this myself

 

i took a few more pics than what I have posted. Just didnt take the time yet to do write ups. Which one were you think of doing and I can get the write up for you

 

What switch did you use? looks like it fits perfect.

 

00550-35976 from the dealer. It required just a fraction of trimming to get it to slip in. ( about a dime thickness ). It went in easy. If you remove the coin holder and use an add a fuse, that is all the disassembly required. Ran the wiring through the grommet for the hood release.

 

awesome, thanks for the info

 

You are welcome. To clarify a bit, I used a rotozip on the dash opening to take off just a little bit of plastic. I did not trim down the switch itself

 

What LED's did you use to illuminate the lower forward cup holders?? They look like they have a mounting flange or a housing. I've been looking for something like those....

 

Brand was "Super bright Leds" I will go out to the shop and retrieve the part number off the bag. I bought a few of them. They give just enough glow to see, yet are not too bright to be on all the time. They are flanged slightly. Used a 9/16 step drill to make the hole for them.

 

The plug on the console is awesome... You should do a write up for all of these.. Looks clean. This thread wins big time if the write ups appear.

 

what is that belkin thing in your cig lighter? a charger? or can you play music through the usb?

 

nice! what wires did you tap into to tie in LED's with dimmer switch?

 

hood scoop lighting? hmm... one of those (funcional driving light)LED light bars in place of the factory hood scoop insert? thats what comes to mind when you say that.

 

that is retarded. i dont mind the idea of functional driving lights in the scoop. id have to see it first. maybe put don some of that dull vinyl to avoid glare in front of the light.


EDIT: like this!

Yes, that is the one I am installing. The switch in this post was installed for just that purpose. And I realize it is illegal to use on the roadways. It will be an off road only application, or just some extra lighting when needed for chores or recoveries.

 

who cares if its illegal? as long as your not using it like an idiot, you'll be fine. i wish i had a hood scoop because i would seriously look into that. good luck, cant wait for the turn out

 

It was actually 317.00 plus a 14 dollar switch.

 

Here is a picture of the nighttime inside the cabins witht eh leds at full brightness. These were wired into the air control module above.

 

here is another pic of the lights I used. the part number is B4383H7 yellow- 12v

 

It's just a charger. They make a double one that fits flush and can charge iPads and all...

I have this one in all my cars...
