Finally got around to uploading the led lights I put in the door. Short description:
I took off the Assembly that the factory bulb fits into. Drilled the hole out to the size of the led. I then took the led and grinded off the top of it to a flat angle that matched the door panel. Then pushed the LED into the door panel untill it was flush with it. This way it is flush like the plastic part that the light did shine through. Then used a decent amount of hot glue to hold the LED in place. Then wired it using a resister to the factory door bulbs wiring harness.

I was going to go with super white leds, but decided to try blue since it would match my indiglo gauges.
Shot showing the back of the panel

Was trying to show the LED flat and flush with the panel

The black stuff was from a marker where I was coloring the flat ruff service of the LED with a marker to help hid it in the day. I got a little bit on the panel!! Opps

Next two are night shots. Sorry its blurry, the camera shutter stays open longer and I shake sooo....



What do you guys think?

Hey Firehawk,

How did you get your instrument panel to look that good? (bright?). Did you replace the lights in there with LED's? Lookin' great!

BTW, like the sig too,

We can just as easily brag about hp/rpm or tq/rpm. Shoot, that's even more useful than hp/liter.

Thanks, the gauge is a silver overlay with indiglo lights in them. Here is a day and night pic of them!!!

Looks good! Compliments the interior lights well.

Looks real good. I was also thinking of doing that in blue too. Going to use T1 LEDs though(smaller, only about as big as the factory hole). Always wondered how it would shine on my legs and seat also. Thanks for the pics firehawkns.

Thanks!! The driver side did end up shinning on my leg, but since I did the passenger side after the driver I was smart enough to angle it more so it didn't shine on the passenger. I plan to redo the driver side so it doesn't, but it isn't bad!!!

I think it looks really good.
It kinda reminds me of when I rode in my friend's BMW. They have some kinda light in the roof center console that shines down and gives a neat dull orange glow to the interior. I've always wanted to duplicate this, and something like the LED's that you show may be the way to go about it.

Also, where do you get "indiglo lights" I've heard of Indiglo overlays, but never replacement bulbs.

Scared of the dark,
