Well they are working great, open the door and they come on and fade out as i wanted, and they come on again when i use the interior reading lights. perfect. but as i suspected the small bulb is pant,s. so i will pop better pic,s. up when i get my 48 LED strip light posted too me, so heres one for now. not the best, but all the hard work is done and all wires now in place.

 

I looked at this picture, and my thoughts were I was not keen at all.

well i finally got my LED,S today and they are now fitted and working perfectly and the best bit this only cost me £2.50. too do foot well light,s.

Then saw this one... They look really good now. If I get a chance to do this, I will be
Good work

 

Great work there tucpal - great that we now have a more step-by-step guide to this :thumbs:

I'm still not clear on where that bunch of wires is though that the grey wire is in... could you maybe add an arrow pointing the location of the grey wire is this pic:

OK LOOK LEFT BEHIND THE FUSE BOX YOU MAY NEED A TOURCH HERE AND LOOK FOR THESE WIRES.

 

not shure how too do the arrow, when you remove the glove box you have too look behind the fuse box looking left and up the wires will be going up the piller too the light console unit. there just by a big bunch of cable, you just have too identify the one with 4 gray cables and pick the thickest one.

if you look at this picture you can see the top clip on the back of the fuse box that should put you in the right direction.

I like it!

 

i have orange ones on my H all the time when im driving they go bright white for the doors find it adds a nice bit of ambience

 

there's not much room down there in the foot well for strip lights so i had too wait 2 weeks for the square LED,S too come from hong kong, but it was well worth the wait and they have sticky on the back as well. very impressed with the light out put. and they go with the red LED in the roof light,s. its nice too see where your feet are when you get into the car now.
here,s a link if any one want,s them.

i actually have some of these on order as was thinking about doing my footwells to atleasti know how to do it instead of working it out myself lol cheers fella lol

 

Thanks for the how-to.

I did mine yesterday although I wired mine up to courtesy light rather than mucking around with wires it was hard to get to.

Thinking I might put a couple in the back at a later date.

 

well done. :thumbs:

 

Hi guy, quick question folks, did you have to buy extra wire to reach to the drivers footwell or is it long enough to reach the passenger footwell to splice in?

Cheers

Jamie

 

I used extra wire as I went from the courtesy light but I would say depending on where you put it you might need some you will need extra to get to the drivers side though.

Cheers Rusty.

 

ok doke cheers

Jamie

 

Looks wicked, do you think you can connect your sidelights to it too? So when you press unlock on the key fob they come on like the interior lights and number plate lights. Could be handy for these dark winter nights

I wouldn't know but my lights come on at night when I unlock the car, I have an elite though.

 

Will this void your warranty?

 

Just done my rear foot well lights.

In blue for keeping with the blue and red theme.

Click pics to see full size.

Small video.

 

looks real good under the rear seats, :thumbs: got too get me some more LED.S. :lol:

 

Looks good :thumbs:

 

just a idea are the 3 gray pin stripped wires two thin and one thick if so it could be that one.
the thick one.

 

its hard to tell, its maybe marginally thicker? I have thick white one?

 

I think everyone who has done this so far has been a 5-door - GTC could be different perhaps.

 

Ok dude cheers. Rusty2009 is going to take pic of wire he spliced into in the roof as we think this will be easier. Thanks for help though.

Jamie

 

I've borrowed some of Tucpal's pic's (hope that is ok?)

I know you have some of this done already but I'll put it up any way.

Pull the rubber off around the door

remove this so can remove the glove box

remove glovebox

remove the fuse board

I've not removed the glove-box this time but here's a pic of where I fed my wires from the other side.

then pull the A-pillar off BE CAREFUL THERE IS AN AIRBAG HERE, you can see where I have run my wires (its orange)

Then run them up into the roof by the windscreen they will tuck in nicely.

then remove the light box surround

then remove light

these are two wires I used, one is black and one is grey (be warned there are two grey's).

I would suggest before you start splicing though just push the wires in on top the pins to make sure it's the same and that it works.

 

Thanks dude great help, I'll get to it and report back.
Jamie

 

Anyone with a GTC done this mod yet by using the same wiring as tucpal as I don't fancy running wires from the light unit

 

update if you find there different
but i think they will be.

 

Ok mate will update if I can find where the wiring loom comes from the roof, as it doesn't appear to come down the passengers side
