so basically i saw something tight and wanted to copy.. my friend bought a brand new VW rabbit. now at night when i got in i noticed there was a light shining down onto the shifter. it was a dim red light but was bright enough to notice. i really liked this feature and thought itd be cool to have it in my crx. now i know this is probably a pretty hard project to do and will involve some work but i figure itd be pretty cool if i could do it.. heres some pics of what im kinda tryin gto do



now heres what im thinking? dont make fun of my "Paint" job...


hope you guys see what im trying to do.. feedback and advice is always appreciated. thanks!

 

pics are not working.

 

I dont know if I can agree with your "no rice" statement, but maybe i should withhold judgment.
I just think in order to not be "rice" it needs to have function over form, meaning that it shouldnt be entirely visual, It should do something!

but let me end with something I heard today:" let me give you some advice, do what you like"

 

I know what you are talking about. Bmw has been doing that for many years.
A barely noticeable light aimed at the shifter.

 

yeah exactly i dont want it to be bright and notice able.. i just want a glow around the redstitched shift boot. i think itll look nice. its not gona be a neon light. i was just thinking like 2 LEDs aimed straight down..

 

I think two LEDs would be way bright.

 

Pictures don't work.

 

That's actually one of the features i like most about my bro's BMWs. Dim red maplights for the shifter/coin tray.

do it

 

pics arent working

= [

 

see considering they come on BMWs and VWs i dont think its rice... its more luxury if u think about it.. ill have it on a switch to. so i can change it from being on when the doors are open to just being on when ever i want it to be. anyone know how i could wire this up?

 

My moms HHR has this light (white). I find it annoying as hell while driving. I prefer my attention to be on the road and as dim and low-key as the light is, its still distracting.

Yeah, would be cool... If we could see the pictures.

 

pics are not working!!!!

 

actually, i was thinking about doing this myself, the newer accords have a little amber led that shines down. maybe you could put the light where our seat belt light is above the rear mirror...

 

pics dont work ! sounds rice! VW's usually have more ricey stuff.

thats not true anymore!

anyway you should go find one of these lights from another vehicle, thats the probly the tricky part, finding a light thats just right. then mount it and wire it.

if you dont have AC you could use the wiring running to the AC button, it will turn on when the headlights are on. the 2 red wires are all you need.

rehost your pictures!

is this what you are talking about???

de1998hatch do you kno what year accord does this? maby i can find one in a junk yard and figure something out. as for the AC being the switch thats not a bad idea.. theres a difference between rice and jdm.or edm.. what i am trying not to do is have a flashy (rice) neon (rice) that is bright(also rice).. what i AM trying to do is have a dim red or amber (jdm) focused light (edm) aiming at just the shifter. so it does not light up the interior and is out of your field of vision.

 

stop pissing around and fix the pictures

edit: still cant see pics, but nice gf and where is "regina" ?

 

why dont u fix YOUR pics... they worked for alot of people already... waht do u want me to do bout it

fix the motherfuc[/b]king pics in your original post, thats what we want you to do bout it.

 

my 06 jetta has that and it is badass exp. When your trying to find your lighter, LOL. It wont be that hard, there's a company that makes single bulb led lights that u stick in your vents, there super small, that or u buy a vw. Hey I'm a dieheart honda fan, I even have a blue vin tag tattoo on my arm but my vw drives so smooth, I love it, its a good break from the stiff *** slammed ef at times.

Goodluck with youre project.

 

retard of the year award goes to...

No one that's posted here. Don't be a ********, just fix them.

I was gonna say it sounded interesting, until you got an attitude.
