Lightbulb custom lighting project v1.0....complete

finally had project v1.0 completed, it didn';t turn out to be, tomorrow night i'll take some better pictures, i was in a rush today when i did it, pretty much LED light strips were used to do most of this. the v1.0 project included the following....



1x LED strip 120cm
4x LED strip 90cm
2 CCFL lights
2x kill switches (mounted by TCS controller, empty spare slot)
license plate bulbs (LED)
reverse lights (LED)

the following lights were placed inside the front of the 350z opening and the rear, no lights shine to the ground, only thru the grilles. the insides are self explanatory, the JL sub grille is fully illuminated which sits in the compartment behind the drivers seat. the two switches (not shown) are for the interior and exterior lights, the puddle light strips are hooked into the door and only come on when the door is opened. i also changed out the license plates to LEDs and the reverse lights also

oh well, i expected the best of both worlds, but none the less, i tried to keep it simple without goin voer the top. Wasn't goin for no ricer or honda look, sumthin subtle but enough, since i plan on keepin the v3 kit, i wanted to differentiate from the 1600+ out there or more now that the kit is available, if any1 wanted a riced out nismo Z, then well, i can do it, but my pride as a nissan enthusiast would go down the drain, and frankly, i love nissan to death, so no rice here


and as for the license plate, damn, i was tired last night, got the car back LATE, so yea, oops is all i can say, don't matter, got specialized plates comin in anyway...

He might be going for a "show car" look, but it's still pretty ricey and over the top, especially for a car thats meant for the track, but hey, whatever floats his boat.

But hey it's your car man enjoy, don't worry about what everybody else says. It is original though, just not my cup of tea.

I give you an A for creativity, but on a track car this makes no sense what so ever.
