Deathsythe's Interior Options

[deathsythe]

I've been talking a lot about it, but have failed to show you guys anything. My apologies. I'll catalog and keep updates to my interior work, as well as take feedback, suggestions, and criticism here.

The whole thing (minus radio lights - took this photo when it was still not working, and dome light)




Gauges - Painted needles on the right to test out how they would look before redoing all of them. Replaced green turn signals w/ red plastic. Clear White LED's behind for the gauges.

Not Lit

From the drivers' seat




All in all I am pretty pleased so far. I have run into some issues, but save for the radio failure - nothing catastrophic.

I've got LEDs in the center console vents (goes to a switch I built into the center console - not shown in any of the pictures), in the coin collector next to the cigg lighter. Took the ugly green casing off of the cigg lighter bulb to make it white. White LEDs behind the gauges, red painted needles, red turn signals, and cathode ray tubes in the footwells (goes to a switch under the steering wheel).


I have the overhead light replaced with a red bulb, but its blown atm.



My next projects (in no particular order)

• Replace the LED in the window switch w/ a red one.
• Fix my ECU/ECM issue
• Rewire Fogs to stay on w/ high beams, and turn on w/o lows (more of an external mod)
• New Speakers (preferably w/ some kind of red lighting) for the front and back
• Red LEDs in the doorhandles (both inside and out)
• Wire courtesy door lights to stay on w/ a switch to illuminate the backseat floor as well (prolly tie into the footwell switch)

If anyone has any suggestions or tips for where I can get lighted speakers at a decent price, I would really appreciate it.
Also - I haven't looked at a schematic for the door lights just yet, but I may just put another bulb in their so I don't muck with the existing circuit anymore. Suggestions there would help too.


So what do ya think?

^ Yeah, but did you get a wiring harness and free 24/7 tech support AND installation instructions?

for some people the difficult part is to install the amps... how to install the ground cable, 12v cable, remote, rca cables etc... to install an amp you might need some instructions cuz is a lil bit hard.... but if just gonna replace the speakers... you dont need any instructions.. just connect the + and - thats all...

and if you need the installation guide you can get them online on crutchfield. you can even print them---->
