LED Glow interior pics

[Slick]

Whats up everyone. I installed my LEDGlow kit this weekend and here is the final result. There are lights in the back seat, however, I have to move them because it looks uber ricey because you can see lights lol. Any feedback is welcome. Hope you enjoy

Looks good. Now I know what you mean by the color clash in your Interior.

[advocate]

Your LCD screen needs an orange / red color theme!

[Slick]

the background changes color, i tried catching it when it was red in the second pic but it was changing too fast lol.

[JumpmanYaris]

Looks like need some cleaning to do in that car :biggrin:

[Prohibit]

Looks sick slick. Haha.

[frownonfun]

so what your saying is you're pretty much a professional at installing these?

HAHA :laugh: Whats funny is the first pic I took the lights really made the pine needles and grass on my floor mat show up lol. I took them both out and gave em a good shake lol. It looks better than it did I promise.

Looks sick slick. Haha.

Who or what are you referring to?

[minired5stby]

That kit is the one you get from the dealership right?

[the_boss]

I saw some kit like that at Walmart last week

Looks good on the inside!

I do not buy Walmart car parts lol. Even though I bought an exhaust tip like that Walmart sell's, I didn't get it from there :) Check ledglow.com under the interior tab, I got the red 4 pc kit. I'll probably be ordering the 2 piece expansion soon, but havne't decided where i'm going to put them. Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. Makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside lol.

lol. sorry. too subtle. i been wanting to throw an orange or blue light kit like this on my car but i don't like wiring. so i was referring to you and i being in the same place this weekend. and how maybe i should pick one of these kits up if it's pretty easy for you to do.

[Slick]

wiring is super easy. if u want super bright, then I wouldn't recommend the ledglow kit. but yeah, if u get a good kit then ill help ya get it in

[nick.dollimount]

I read this yesterday and got completely inspired. On my way home from work, I pit stopped at an electronics shop to pick up some stuff. I got 10 superbright blue LEDs, resistors and a blue-lit toggle switch. A few minutes planning and a couple hours later, I got it all wired together and installed. Haven't taken any pictures yet but I will tonight =) Thanks for the inspiration! I've been thinking about getting this done for a long time now =D

[Slick]

Well im glad I could be of service :) Let us see how your set up turned out.

[nick.dollimount]

I have to take a bunch of pictures for threads on here that I haven't gotten a chance to do =D Hopefully today! Well, tonight for the LEDs of course. I'm going to get more LEDs and put them in my speakers in the doors and in the rear speakers as well. Probably within the next couple weeks for that though =D

[Slick]

im thinking about posting a poll about more lights on my car. I'm thinking underbody lights, engine bay lights, wheel well lights, or maybe more interior. Haven't yet decided.

[nick.dollimount]

I think under glow is illegal here... Wheel well lighting would look wicked! I don't want anything that's too distracting either. My blue under the dash isn't crazy bright, which is good. Come to think of it, I probably won't be able to have the blue LEDs in my rear speakers because they're right in the back window... I'd be pulled over for sure =( Front speakers are fair game though =) Hmmm maybe one LED behind each door handle on the inside of the doors... people always fumble to find the handles in my car =P

[Slick]

Have you seen this post? Awesome, that all i can say lol. I'm thinking about doing it myself, but I dont want to be too much of a copy cat.

[nick.dollimount]

Yeah! I was looking at that yesterday like 5 times! And the fact that it's hooked to the dome like is a wicked idea because they'd fade in and out when you unlock/lock your doors :D That'd look really slick =D Although, my car is Flint Mica so it might be a little too dark for the LEDs to show well enough. So I might just stick to the interior of the car.

[lilredrocket]

You would be surprised how bright LEDs are.

[Armani]

How is the wiring super easy???
I got LED sticks and I have NO IDEA how the wiring works...in the car...
help please! :)

I was afraid of the wiring with a lot of things in the car at first too. Once you get the basic idea, look out! You'll want to wire everything! I know that's what happened with me :biggrin:

Basically anything powered, like the LEDs or LED sticks, has to have the 12v source and a ground to complete the circuit. There are tons of places from which to get your source, depending on how you want to run them. Grounding can be done anywhere on the metal body of the car; there are tons of locations. There are also already wired grounds you can tap into.

The hard part is figuring out where to hook the things up to but with all the resources in this forum, it turns into a piece of cake. The fun part is figuring out where to run the wires to hide them :thumbsup: Electrical tape is your friend; you don't want something to ground out accidentally in the wrong place and possibly short something important. Basically do some reading, look at diagrams and figure out what they mean. Use the search function of the forum; tons of resource. And then ask your questions. There are tons of people on here that are more than willing to help out.

aw man

we need a DIY done on the wiring part
ive been wanting to do this for qquite some time now

[Slick]

A DIY on how to wire? Holy crap, that would take 20 pages. The actual explanation would only be a page or two. But all of the freakin warnings and hazards that could be associated with it will fill up the rest lol.

I tapped into the 12v supply to my H/U. I tapped in the H/U wires for the ground as well. I ran the wires under the center console to the back. I ran the wires inisde the dash for the front. Thats the skinny of it.

Consult this http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10195 to find out which wires to the radio you can use. Its near the bottom of the first post. The wires described are the wires coming from the car to the plug, not from the plug to the radio.

Let me know if I can help or clarify anything.

[chongopants]

Whats not mentioned about LEDs or Light Emiting Diodes is they are polar (meaning if you put them on backwards they pop), and they are VERY sensative to current, you put too much through them and they pop... and most dont take 12v to those who wanna do this themselves. Please buy a kit, not parts...

[Slick]

+1, chongo is right. I bought a kit that already had resistors and everything required to make the LED's work. Nick said he put in his own LED's using parts that he bought. If you notice on the last post of the first page he bought resistors as well. These are required to drop the voltage so the LED's dont POP lol.

Oh, btw, does anyone know what happens when you put a fuse in backwards?

[chongopants]

You cant put it in backwards, unless they just made it look that way. Fuses are not polar in most cases.

[Slick]

They SUCK instead of blow ahahahahahaha.


Geez chongo, so serious.

[lilredrocket]

Wow more corney jokes. I think I'm going to call you corn cob

[Slick]

Lets not and say you did :flame: :D

Yeah, resistors are definitely required or, like Slick said, they pop :thumbdown:

My favorite resource for this: http://ledcalculator.net/

I forget who posted it in a different thread; I'm definitely too tired right now to go searching. But it's perfect. You'll have the specs on the LED package most definitely. In a spec sheet wherever you buy/order them from.

Also, a good place to buy LEDs in bulk with really good shipping: http://alan-parekh.vstore.ca/index.php

As for how to wire... as stated above; that would take pages. :tongue:

[the_boss]

I have led's at home and I have the proper resistance to put them on 12v and if I put the positive (+) on the wrong side of the led, they just don't lit up and they don't blow up. But when you buy led's the longest pin is (99.9%) the positive one and oyu need to solder the resistance on that pin.

Not sure if it make sense it's too early for me:iono::confused:

[GeneralDon7]

Wow reading this post, has gotten me back in the mood to add more accent lighting to my existing LEDS. The door handle one definatley peaked my interest.

[advocate]

Hurry up and post pictures Nick I wanna see =)

[bigpimpinyaris]

ya looks great im gettin an LEDGLOW 6 pc back for mine. hopefully looks just as good
