Ignition Key Light 56k unfriendly

Tools Phillip head screwdriver Zip ties (provided in the package) Step 1a: Removing the 3 screws. There are two located behind the steering wheel and one below. Just turn your wheel and you'll be able to see the two up top. The one below will be located near the steering wheel height adjuster. (pictured with screws removed. Left side Right side Underneath Step 1b: Pull this panel towards you and down. It's a fold down type and pops out when the right amount of force. Too much and you may bend/break it. Closed/Opened Step 1c: Remove the (not so)secret compartment by first lifting the bottom two corners first to unlatch them and then slide the compartment down where then it lines up to two opening holes so you can pull out the whole secret compartment. To put back in reverse this step. Close up of the bottom corners of the secret compartment. The side with the handle is facing the ground in this picture. Close up on the top left side opening. Mirror image on the right side. Last edited by eijikikimaru; 07-06-2007 at 04:12 AM. |

Continuing
Step 2a
As you open up the compartment you'll see one of your fuse boxes.It'll look like this You will want to remove the white top left plug/connector. Circled for better understanding Step 2b So this part threw me off because I never seen this before and didn't know where it belonged looking at the old Thai DIY ignition set up They didn't have this clean plug and play version.The long black thing top left of ignition light is the relay Stick the OEM male into the A.M. (after market *just call it that*) female connector. Insert AM male into fusebox and it will set power to the ignition light. *recommend insert AM male after setting up the ignition light* I wrapped my ignition light behind the black-bar (Step 1b picture #2) and zip tied it along with the extra length of the cord since you don't need that much. Step 3a: *Optional* Stick the black sticker onto the ignition light. If not done, the finish looks doesn't look as clean because you see the clear plastic that not suppose to show, peek thru cracks. Line up the triangle. and fold the corner of the rectangle onto the ignition light.(yeah I can't line things up well apparently) Step 3b Insert light. It fits around the key hole. Complete Step 2b pic#3 and you're pretty much done dirty version. Clean version is putting all the parts back on: Secret compartment Under panel Steering will bottom cover FINISHED LOOK Day Night Passenger side View Last edited by eijikikimaru; 07-06-2007 at 04:17 AM. |

Hope this helps those who are interested in the Thailand Ignition light. I'm aware that Thomas will no longer be with us as often as he used to be, but if those of you who purchased in Thai GB #2 then hope this'll help out.
Those of you who still wish to purchase one and find a different mean to get a ignition light great! Here's a semi-guide for those that are a bit clueless like I was. Here's team Thailand guide |

Thanks eijikikimaru... I bought this from MC-BPT 6 months ago, but haven't gotten around to installing it... partially b/c of the *all japanese* instructions. Oh well... it's not that hard, is it? I'll do it this weekend!

Well in EtimAgo first GB I think it was a little cheaper then $105 but I don't remember since it's been over a month since I purchased it.

I'm sorry in advance if I don't make sense, I just woke up. If I understood your question correctly then the fuse circled, I'm assuming you mean the fuse box? If so then the fuse box is located right behind the secret compartment(For my US model bottom left hand driver side, near the driver side speaker). The connector that needs to be pulled is about 3inchs up from the bottom left side of the fuse box. |

I'm pretty sure it is the same thing, but like Doc Zaius', with all-japanese instructions. Not that it really matters now with this great writeup

Great DIY! Love the blue color. Nice to know it will go with the blue AC panel LEDs I have. Gotta add this to my list. Please post the link to order the one outside the group buy.
