New MOD. Interior light. Experimental.

[sam01]

As always - I apologise for my bad English.:)

On one of forums I seen, how the person has made to itself illumination on lateral racks (it took idea on a Toyota website). But LED light looking out from under cover did not seduce me.

Such bright illumination was not necessary to me.
My purpose - decorative illumination.
I have decided to improve this mod and to make its more aesthetic.

I have removed cover of central pillar.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112781454.jpg

The cover edge has a small ledge.

I put cover to transparent plexiglas and noted a cut edge.

On cover has noted cut edge corresponding to thickness of plexiglas .

Then cut out a strip completely. Further process of polishing and adjustment.
Here so the adjusted part looks.

Finally adjustment of details. Then gluing.

Plexiglas and plastic joint.

On a gleam from a usual lamp.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112781468.jpg

The test with a LED tape. Perfectly!
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112781469.jpghttp://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112781470.jpg

The modified cover on a place. Without illumination.
The strip is hardly appreciable. I aspired to it.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112781472.jpg

Then has made a platform for tape installation, has accurately mounted a tape on this platform.

Testing connection.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112912848.jpghttp://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112912849.jpg

Before finally installation, I connected this system in the car.
To look, whether it will be too bright.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112912851.jpg

Really, too brightly.
It was necessary to insert resistance on 270 ohm.
After that brightness has reached necessary level.
http://sam01.users.photofile.ru/photo/sam01/96219869/large/112912850.jpg

Power connection took from a dimmer by which brightness of illumination to pockets and handles opening doors is regulated.


Finally installation.

Always yours, with greetings from Russia,

[FollowingNFront]

Holy crap you Russion LHers come up with some hot stuff.

[EagleESi]

Sam, you have done the most awesome mods I have ever seen when it comes to LED lighting.


Freaking A why don't you live in the states cause You would have alot of my money!

[DrDodge]

your english is fine,, and so are your Mods,,,

[kimura]

That's some very impressive lighting mods!

[blackrt1]

Awesome touch to the interior Sam!! You have some very good led ideas!!

[sam01]

Thanks, friends!
To me your estimations are very pleasant!

Unfortunately in Russia such mods don't understanding.
It's necessary to tell that in Russia modding and tuning are developed very badly: primitively and insipidly.

Some people twist a finger at a temple that I fool. Well, and I simply train, I become skilled.
In my head there are thousand ideas.
Unfortunately to realise is it's not possible in the absence of money...

Anything, I will do gradually.:)
I do not despond!:)

[Danimal]

That is really neat! I really like it. Great Work!

[EagleESi]

Hey Sam, Can you give me a link back to the Russia Site? I lost it when my Hard drive died.

I want to revive my thread over there.
