Oh yeah good idea.. The light in the boot comes on when he doors are open.. Meaning it wont come on when the light is turned on in the front. Good thinking ;-)

Yup,Thanks

 

[TheDon]

haha, alright, that was the only interiorlight I could think of, that you could use for a fading result, glad you made it work!

just another question, how did you lead the wire to the front?

Thx!

Yea well thanks it was your idea to run it from the boot ,Ive ran it through the trim,I will get pics up this weekend...

Ok everyone here are the how to pics,Sorry they not the best pics

Ok 1st u need to remove the boot light,It just unclips.

Unscrew the two screws in the light panel

I just peeled back the rubber on both cables,I did not cut it,You an cut it if you want.

I then added on some cable with a plug connector.

Then i removed the side back panel,Theres a black plastic round thing on the bottom just use a flat head and unscrew it,Then open the passanger door and u will find a screw on the same panel,Unscrew it and it just unclips,I did not pull the whole thing off.

Then start to feed the cable through the panel to the front(i used 2mitres of cable)

Then tuck it behind the bottom panel,You can see in the pic.

Then start to feed the cable under the rubber trim,There is a slight gap so use a flat head screw driver and just poke it in the gap.

Then run it till then end of the trim,I put my cable under the cubby hole.

I used a connector then just plugged them in,I stuck the LEDs up with double sider tape.

I stuck some LEDs on to velcro.

Then put them under the back seats,I ran the cables to the boot light as well .

They are sooo cool,They turn on when i unlock the doors,They fade out when i start the engine with the other lights and when i lock the doors they fade out as well

Hope this helps!!!

Some LEDs to light the glove box wouldn't go amiss either... Just a few in the top or side.
