doesnt sound like much but it just looked really nice lol, shame i couldnt be around to hopefulyl talk to the owner - pix to come later w/ deleted no. plate

lol.. i hope he actually has performance parts of those brands in his car, and not just stickers.
and the wheels are most definitely replicas, since i dont think rays make multi-stud wheels.
anyway, i hope he joins up with ozhonda or u meet him again, so we can organise a bigger brisbane fd meet.

i'm using for trunk light but ebay sells one that has an adaptor that can fit anything. so maybe use for back light above rear seats.
also got this, middle brake light.

i got mine from http://www.superbrightleds.com
its from the US, can get them off ebay. ebay has some different things.
or you can get it here in aus i think the festoon 2SMD interior lights are $13 each. US$6.95 on that site.

ohh shit thts a good idea for boot light. well i hooked up two purple LED strips for my boot lighting lol =D. with a white LED bulb inside the socket.. no where near bright enough, i'll prob be getting the festoon lights sometime after exams =D

any body know where to get some lighting for the key thingy? my dad found it annoying when he couldnt search the keyhole in the dark..and hes only driven my car like twice during night time

**.k.** · 09-06-2009 02:50 AM

yeah unoriginally its called a 'keyhole light' i think. dmx has it installed on his car so maybe we could ask to get that too? i want one =]

**NZFD2** · 09-06-2009 06:38 AM

im surprised that the audm fd doesnt have the keyhole light..I thought it was quite a basic thing to have, and I'm sure it wouldn't have cost them that much to include as a standard especially since the fd isn't that low in price as well..

liquid: what size (mm) festoon bulbs do the map lights take?

the lights inside the car are 31mm, you can take it out and measure it =) that is what i did hehe.
They sell like a 41mm holder not sure if you can get that to fit in the light holders. might need some modifications. i just went for simple as i wouldn't know how to do it. If you want to get the PCB board of SMD LED lights to fit in the boot like it did, it doesn't actually fit in the holder you need to kinda just stick the board on to the metal.
