lol okay thanks i found one

so yeterday came with this.

after reading this topic from BloodyStupidDavey

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=58756

i went shopping and found this.... Lexus ES 300 chrome and covered door strikers....



And with the little help of this, no unnecessary force was used, pretty easy to take apart.



After 5 minutes looked like this...



amd with a little bit of paint, it looks awesome in a black car



I bet this can be done in any toyota, new the run about 20 bucks each. So im thinking fo doing this to the Corolla as well....

But thats not all, also i worked on this. I got tired of the lighter not being completely blue ring, so who cares, i did this



Also as i mentioned earlier, i had my amp swtiched, however I did not like the switch I used and decided to look for a better option.

A OEM defroster switch, WTF?, yes, its a switch and if you know how to modify it, you can use it as such.

a look by look comparison.



So i took it apart, and verified how it worked and the wires i needed to use. also i decided to add my touch of light. An LED, and blue.





i took out the centerpiece and painted it black, so that it does not look like a defroster.



created my harness, wich involved 4 wires, 2 for the amp and 2 for the led, i drew power for the led from the cig lighter bulb. That is why you see plenty of wires..



pushed in the harness.



here is what it looks like during the day.



and i can always find it at night......



and there is more!!!

Very nice. I can see I've started a trend - the must-have mod for 2008

yup, it is the mod to have, it separates you from the others!!!!



I have part lexus in my celi, surprised this was not an option in the celi

one more little thingy

on my way to the junkyard got this (two)



i got my mind thinking and decided to put it in the pocket of the door.

so after i made a hole, and put it in.


then with some heat, melted the borders to give it a more secure fit..



created the harness from the courtesy door.



and voila. Looks nice, more blue. Only when it opens i can see what i have in the pocket.....

is that from the glove box? i need a new one of those. i accidentally broke one when i was fooling around with the glove box trying to get the passenger side vent out.
if you happen upon one could you pick it up for me? there aren't any celis at the local junk yards

that is hott!!!

I saw you modded the cigarette light. What kind of LED bulb and resistors did you use? Why can this be fire hazardios?

Great thread! Really much information here...!

i would suggest blue led tape for inside the door thing to give a better glow im currently getting green ones
none the less great job

You mentioned earlier that you used padding to help reduce the road noise in your car. You also said that the material can be found at Wal-Mart. What is the name of the material?

I am familiar with jute and microjute but whenever I see any, it is in the form of a rug and not necessarily something that I could lay down on the floor or inbetween panels and doors.

i think its jute.

i dont recomed led in the lighter, it coud be a hazzard. however the leds i bought from ebay came with resistors...

Okay, but whats so different between led bulb, and ordinary bulb? What makes the led so more hazardious?

the ordinary bulb is glass, thus resistant to heat in a better way than a plastic led. the plastic can melt quick and thus cause fire.

I did change my led cig light, but i dont smoke. So i dont use the lighter. But i like to warn anybody before something really does happen.

hope it clarifies.

Well, I know that it's jute. But where can I actually find it? I haven't seen it anywhere at Wal-Mart.

i got mine in u-haul.

Oh Sh*t that's nice! I have my Boston Acoustic tweets mounted right there but I think the light coming from underneath might look kind of sweet. I need to take pics of the tweet mount to finish my how-to [Thanks for the props BTW] anyway so maybe I'll get in there and do that one too. It sux being at the club with the dark ass parking lot and not being able to find something.
Good idea.
