02_GT_Limited

Got around to (well....i just got my 2010 last week) doing this mod and added led strips under the footwells by tapping into the same wires. Blue LEDs always catch my eye and i love seeing them, but after i installed these in my car, i i realized the rest of my interior lights are red.....i mean i knew they were red, it just didnt register in my head when i bought the blue leds. Once i had the center console apart, was i the only one to notice what appeared to be wedged-based led boards illuminating heated seats and gear lever? I think there were 3 in total. I never attempted to pull them out, but they definitely looked like it. Couldnt these technically be replaced by something like this:confused:: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/wedge-bulbs/194-led-bulb-6-smd-led-wide-angle-wedge-base/211/ It would be great, because at least my blue cupholder and footwell LEDs wouldnt feel so contrast-y compared the to rest of the dash lights. If not, i guess at some point i can get back in there and replace the blue with some red leds.... Anyways, Thanks ChasWG for the write-up. It helped me tremendously. I have a 2010, so i got lucky with the diffuser around the cupholder. Unfortunately i was unable to locate the LEDs you used...or anything that even resembled them. So i grabbed some bare 12v LEDs from wal-mart.

Then i just seated the leds in the hole. It was a pretty tight fit (stop it) July 05, 2013-IMG_0046.jpg July 05, 2013-IMG_0046-2.jpg July 05, 2013-IMG_0045.jpg July 05, 2013-IMG_0047.jpg NOTE: Use caution when drilling. The spot that was drilled out was pretty thin, and so the drill bit will pull itself through at a high speed and cause damage to the diffuser if you are not careful. Just keep it slow, and then back out (whats with the innuendos?) before you hit the diffuser ring....this is where a round file comes in handy. d_wvZN5JdLdqc96QebxBXPJMMWhoIT8ZtW-Hnl-zmnFhpGjX7MfADJ5wglwKTCFi7w=w1600.jpg yvjFecznnL72iFYSfyD0WtXQ1xLlyJzraMowFlXXGElZK-ygTSkmELmVkD8_7-I15A=w1600.jpg MfIxHultzIiO81ZXHlFr_zPmsAenxyZJWJxx-2l_DxnodNxWR9hg9QdokT4VcYbGFQ=w1600.jpg
