Cabrio rear footwell lights
I FINALLY got around to wiring up my rear footwell LEDs. I purchased two white 4.7" 12-LED strips from oznium.com a few months back after having success with the longer versions in the ImagoX "light that boot" mod.
I tapped into the wires for the passenger side footwell light (brown/black=ground; brown/yellow=hot) and ran 18 gauge 2 conductor wire under the carpet edge floor trim to beside the seat, then under the seat rail and to the Oznium strip (gold=ground; silver=hot). Strip is zip tied with 3 ties to the rear round steel cross-brace under the seat, with the LEDs pointing straight down. Another run of 18 gauge 2 conductor wire runs from here, under the inboard passenger seat rail, through the console, under the inboard drivers seat rail, and to a second strip under the drivers seat. Works great - color matches the white high-flux flank LEDs I have installed for the front footwells and puddle lights. The strips fade on and off just like the front footwells. And I like the brightness of the 12 LED strips - just right for my taste. I think the 9" 24LED strips would be too much. Sorry - no pics, but not much to see really. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks again to ImagoX for the inspiration! |
Photos please! Photos! This sounds awesome (esp. after taking a quick look at the oznium site).
