I'll be the first to admit, I think this is pretty rice, but I just got carried away! Spent a Saturday installing footwell lighting and then decided to add some LED's to the strut bar. All of these lights only light when the door is opened or I hit my unlock on the alarm. They are not on while driving, or any other time. I think it looks really cool, but I know. . .

I really like how the footwell lights glow is visible through the steering column.

So what do others think?

 

yea the strut bar is ricey and distracting looking. and im sure if u drive around with it u will get pulled over.

edit: PLEASE RESIZE YOUR PICS

 

just go kill yourself now...you fail at life












j/k ...footwells look nice, struts aren't so bad either as long as you arent driving with them on.

 

yes i would like to know where u got the foot well lights more?

 

I followed this DIY almost exactly

https://my350z.com/forum/audio-video-and-electronics-diy/235662-footwell-lighting-how-to.html

Then I just ran another wire to the back and into the strut bar.

I can't even turn them on while driving. They are only lit when the door is opened or I trigger the unlock on the alarm.

Thanks for comments.

 

Sorry, the pics look okay to me? I'm kinda new to posting pics - is there a problem?

 

when u click them they are huge


If u upload them to imageshack.us or Photobucket.com they will resize or let u resize them

 

Resized them in photoshop. Hope it's better

 

looks okay i guess

 

you shouldn't sugercoat it for him....it's ricey!

lol jk it's not bad. I wouldn't do it though - too flashy

 

I guess it looks ok.

 

Borderline rice, but I have to admit I like the look.

 

looks very ricey. Not trying to be mean.

 

Yea, like I said I'm the first to admit it. Just playing around really - not taking it seriously. I might try changing the LED's on the strut to white instead of blue.

 

yeah, that's good to hear. Atleast you are contemplating with it. one thing i know for sure is after a year or so, you will look back and say "what was i thinking back then?". It's kinda like a phase. Lights can look cool but sometimes when it doesn't have a purpose and is just straight in your face BLUE, then it's pretty ricey.

 

Yea, for me it's a boredom phase when you don't have the money or the know how to spend your time doing something like installing a turbo but you're in desperate need a hobby.

 

 

That looks awesome. I'm not sure why ppl think it's that ricey. the new IS has this feature too for the footwells.
the only thing I would change is the brightness of the leds...maybe a fainter output would make it more subtle.

 

The footwell lights look cool. A bit bright maybe, but cool. You usually get that in high end cars anyway, so i don't think it can be ricey, unless you start getting groovy colours and ****. The blue LED's however are definitely RICE, and I personally wouldn't go there.

 

LOL WTF is with that cat, cracks me up
