Dude, love the window switch lights, did you drill through the plastic to mount them? And those boot lights are tres formidable aussi where have you mounted them to get such a good spread of light?

I "re-shaped" the inside part of the panel, where the switches mount to it, just a little bit

The boot lights are mounted on the underside of the parcel shelf, it was the only place where I could get the light I wanted - I was cursing as the control box had a jack connector, but it turned out to be quite useful, as I can easily unplug them and remove the parcel shelf

Lovely-ness all round Marc, I like the HID ballast location.
I'll be re-fitting mine soon, I might just use that location too.

Finally finished my interior lighting today

Put a single blue LED into each door handle - like the rest, they come on when I switch from red to blue lighting

This pic, taken before it started to get dark, shows they were a bit bright to start off with...

and this one, once it got darker, shows there was far too much light shining into the car, especially at the front

So I had another play, and I think I've got them just right now, still hard to capture with the camera, but you get the idea


Front passenger side

and overall dash

Just realised, the stereo was off, looks better with that on

Nice one mate, I jsut thought, I've got a blue car, and all my LED's are red, and you are vice versa.
Are we stoopid?

Saying that, all my courtesy lights are blue, and my interior lights are red.

hehe, oh yeah...wanna swap


I went for blue on the dash cos I had the 3 sport for a bit, and I really liked the blue and red dials. I knew I would change the BJ to something similar

After that, I added the blue LEDs to the heater controls, and had it switchable from red to blue...and then I kinda went from there... My courtesy lights are all white, but the puddle lights are blue...
I think I'm done now though, maybe a few more under the bonnet...

awesome work
love it

Great work matey, need to do some of that to MUX

yeah, no worries - it'll be easier on Mux cos there's only 2 doors

and much less trim

Hmmm, not sure where the original post went??? but this is my home-made 9 LED interior light

and these are my door sill, footwell, and puddle lights. They are wired to the interior light circuit, come on with the remote central locking, and fade out too

I like them ones. I fancy maybe getting round to some puddly lights and stuff - gotta get my head round this elecktrickery lark and which wires to use

Marcrs - why did you make your own? I was under the impression you could get an LED off evilbay or something which you could just swap them with.

I like to make stuff myself, I like to be different

i like the idea of leds come on when unlocks, awesome!

Thought that my bonnet lights were not bright enough , so I added 45 white LEDs to the front panel, which do the job nicely

This picture was taken in the pitch black, with no street lights etc

thanks fella

I get them from ebay, maplins, halfords... I've used several different types for different applications...some I have only found on ebay, whilst I get a lot from Maplins, 'cos it's only up the road, and they have toys to play with

Nice work ..again .. fella

That's indeed very tastefull.

A few poor pics of the tinted windows, I'll take some decent photos at some point...

The wider tyres make it look quite a lot lower, I guess they fill the arches better...wheels don't look so big, think it's better

Good job buddy was it easy to do?

Im on the standard rims for the minute but went from the shitty marshalls which were 195,50r16s to 205,45,R16s and they look sooooo much better. As you say they really fill the arches which is daft with such a small change.

They still look pants compared to the Rota's but Id be in tears by now if I kept them on with all the salt a crap sticking to them... The standards are silver for the moment, but the weather is already getting to them so in the summer they'll be coming off and getting powder coated black. I found a local place that can do them for me cheap so too - painting is ok but it always flakes ... powdering is a better solution for winter rims.

Good stuff

marc its looking great bud

what % of tint did you use on the doors? looks pretty light. i'm wanting to get a very light tint on the saab but the lightest i've found is 70%.

but i think with the factory tint this still might be to dark legally speaking

35% tint all round Nat

I had strobes in the headlights of my pajero... you can sure clear a lot of traffic in you go nice and close and hit the switch....

On that subject - where are the controls for all this stuff mate?

Looking nice why cant I ever take night shots like that
