Door Handle lights

[misbehave]

I just solved that with leds. Ive only done front doors. Leds are connected to my interior neons but you can connect them to dome light too.

Nice!!!
Do you have a closer shot to how you put the bulb at the door lock handle?
I have always wanted to put LED at all 4 of the interior door handle.

I second that request. With my blue neons and maplights and guages, and soon HVAC and underseat...thats one more blue LED I must have. A how to is called for I believe

Sure. Its quite simple as you can see. I drilled 6mm hole for the collar and then just snapped the led in. (5mm led). Make sure to use wide angle leds and you might want to sand the top of the led flat so the light spreads more. The light in my handles are too narrow.

hmmmm, i thought these were going on the outside of the car. i was way off. i would rather them be outside and be functional as a puddle light but this doesn't look bad. good job man

it is outside. anakin was just posting his pics because someone said they would like to see it inside because their passengers would complain about not finding the door handle inside.

thanx for clarifying DE31 - just to recap the ones i did a write up for are for the exterior, Anakin is explaining his interior LED's

Thanks!!!

Is it hard to disassemble those interior door padding?

that's sick

[Gambino]

love the leds. only thing i dont like is the knob....but looks good. how much did those leds run you?

i saw this pic before but it still hits me and makes my jaw drop. because of that i just added neons on my b-day list. ha wow, nicest night shot i've seen. are those gauges above your AC vents in the center consol?

 

[Lord_Zath]

no, that's blue glare from one of the other LED's. You can see lighter circles a little higher as well.

1.Does everyone knows if you can hook up two 15" Neon Tubes (below the front seats) to the doom light?
2.How is the voltage in the doom light?
3.How much is the Ampere requiere for a 15" Neon Tube?
4.How much is the Ampere in the doom light?
5.Someone this can be performed?

If everyone could help my with this answers I would be very grateful. Thanks for your time and your help.

1. I dont know about your car but mine has dimming dome light so i think it could damage somethin if you connect too much ballast in it.
One thing i was thinking is to use relay between dome light and those neons.

2. 12 volts

3. not sure... few...

4. about 0.4 amps

Anakin Thanks for your reply...I would try to figure out something with the relay...

If anyone else know any other idea...
