Interior Neon

[clean96GST]

So I go these little blue LED lights that I want to put uner the center console so they shine out the vents in the kick pannels to match my rear speakers which light up, and all they take is a positive and negative connection but I don't know how do do that , so what is the easiest way to hook them up?

 

[crimsonGST]

take and run the power to a switch, ground the lights off individually. ground the switch. run a power from the battery (or other power source) to the switch. so just to clear that up. power from battery to switch. power from light to switch. ground to switch. and ground off the lights individually. im sure someone will post a simple diagram.

Don't do it. They get really annoying. Just get colored bulbs for when you open the doors. I have red bulbs on both floor locations.

Check bulbs and fuses. You should....

 

[MIenKEi446]

What size bulbs work for the replacements? Thats a good idea, never even thought of that haha

 

[clean96GST]

I just don't have a place for dome lights, i Have no headliner right now and don't see a place for bulbs

The bulbs are under the dash, just to the left of the hood release handle. it is just a small bulbe turned into a metal piece (gnd). u can use this to connect some led lights, remove the bulbe, connect the pos wire of the leds to the pos wire of the stock interior lights and connect the gnd to the chassis (metal piece) and the lights will turn on when the door is opened. If u want the leds to work whole the time, u need to run a 12V wire from the battery over a switch to the leds. when u make the ledstrips don't forget to use the correct resistors!

Neon is for the rice crowd. Avoid it because that is what gives the rest of us a bad name. Clean is the only good looking car.

 

[crimsonGST]

agreed^

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

its for the inside of his car, and if he follows crimsonGST's instructions and puts it on a switch, he can be a ricer or not ricer just with a flick of a switch.

yes put it on a switch because ive been in a car that has this on al the time and at night it gets annoying.

 

[crimsonGST]

Yeah well im going to admit it, i DO have blue led pods in my n/t run to a switch (i was 16, come'on). Cool little things if thats what your into. Just do it RIGHT the first time, take your time, and dont go overboard.

i agree wit 97 gx, i had the blue ones jus like you want to do and i took them out, bulbs are less anoyying for shure.

Take 40 bucks and go to the local car audio shop have them put it in......

That would be the quickest and easy'est and probably turn out the best Too!

or take 40 bucks, sell that bodykit, and get yourself some performance mods! but to each their own, just my HO.

If your courtesy lights under your dash aren't working, replace the bulbs, check the fuses, and if all else fails, replace your door switch. It's about a $3 part that has one bolt holding it in.

Where are the lights located? I don't have headliner yet, but isn't there supposed to be a dome light?

Trust me, getting rid of my body kit and putting 2gb bumpers on are my first priority. I got the car riced out, which was why I got it for 1900.

Dont forget with those 2gb bumpers, you need some new headlights. And thats not bad really, so long as you give it some loving, you'll have a clean gst for a steal (X

The floor lights are located under the dash. On the driver's side, it's to the left of the dead pedal and above. On the passenger side, it's pretty much in the same place. To really see them, you'll need to get your head under the dash and look up.

As for dome lights, my car has a mirror with map lights, but no dome light due to a sunroof. I'm not aware of which models have/had dome lights and which didn't.

Edit: The floor lights are standard 194 bulbs. These are available in plenty of colors. Mine are currently red. The map lights are tube-style (forget which ones they are) and sometimes you can find these in colors. If not, you can get the colored light condoms to fit over them and customize your light color, but I've had these melt over time and get clear, so beware.

 

[crimsonGST]

I know all RS models had dome lights. He has a GST, but its a 96. I could be wrong, but i think he has the mirror lights too.
