Installing LED/SMD Strip on JAZZ GD + vid (Can do the same to other cars)

[GaDgeT-CRX]

installed smd led strips into my ride... stole power from the back of the cig lighter, then installed switches in the center to turn on/off as required







did the boot aswell, just by joining up the + and - from the rear hatch light


just need a 12V power source, and earthing point... easy install as long as the connections match up

Very nicely done. I did that in my Echo. Had switches on my dash to turn them when required. Also got the power from my ciggy lighter. Btw, great looking car

how do u extend the passenger smd lights to the fuse box? what sort of wire do u need to extend it?

What you need is just the normal wire that you get at Jay car, it cost around $1.5-$2.0 per meter depends on the thickness of the wire !!!
Also the wire just go through the fuse box and it should come out under the grove box or your own way as long as you don't see the wire and for the rear you just need to take out the plastic rubber around the door let the wire go through to the rear.......I did mine one and it looks good !!!

I just completed this DIY on my FD2 Sport. Best mod I have done so far. Looks awesome with that blue 'glow'. It's not too bright and after market looking, just a soft even glow which looks like a factory install.
I also added a white LED strip to the under side of each door. When you open the door it lights up the ground, like a factory courtesy light. I connected all 8 strips to the dome light so they fade when doors are closed. Have had all the lights on for over 45 minutes as a test. Did not drain the battery, nor blow any fuses. I have also changed the inerior dome bulbs to white LED's which use a fraction of the power ordinary bulbs use. I think this is the reason the load is not high.
Anyways, here are some pics (taken on my phone, no where near as good as the real thing). I haven't taken any of the under door light yet.

put a volt meter to the brown wire. I think u should wire the power from the brown wire as the brown wire send signal to the dash to tell you the door isn't close. so connecting to brown wire should only light up when u open the door.

Why not just wire up to your actual dome light? That way it fades in and out with the dome light.
