Lighting Lighting Lighting...

hokay, i just got a few good ideas for using up all the LED's i just ordered, but i need some info from the fellow members.

1) is there a good place to wire interior lights into, so when it actually gets dark enough for my headlights to turn on and the map cubby turns on, the other lights i'm putting in will also click on?? How and Where?

2) Is there a spot on the Hood fuse block (or either of the others) to add a fuse block on?? i'm just getting tired of making a dumb electrical mistake and having to change a bunch of fuses or losing something important... (cig lighters, gauges..etc) i'd rather add my own and wire into it.

--More slightly off topic--

3) i've noticed that my rear view mirror vibrates....ALOT.... when i turn my radio up. its mostly from my soundstream 6.9's in the back. is there a good way of stopping that? and is that method just simply dynomatting the back deck?

ok, i'm done now..

I don't think using dynamat on your back deck will stop your mirror from vibrating. I've been trying for years to find a way to keep it from vibrating but as long as there is bass waves I think there is going to be some shaking.

as long as the low frequencies are passing through and around your car cab, it will continue to shake, so to answer your question, No there is no way to stop it from shaking.

Turn down your radio.

you think thats bad, my rear view mirror rattles along with the two side mirrors outside the car, rattles so much i couldnt tell if their is a cop behind me lol.....

I WIN! Mine rattles so bad that the rearview mirror actually vibrates off the metal tab glued to the window. Try and beat that. :P

Mine falls off and I don't even have a sound system yet.

I mean, come on, I'm not that hideous.

lol, well this went off topic pretty quickly.

someone has to have figured out a way to prevent that...

and i guess no-one has an answer for the other questions...?

[doubleN0alero]

simple solution, just take your rearview mirror off!

[doubleN0alero]

oh for your first question, just tap into cubby hole light. thats where i tap into for any interior lighting that i do...ie/white gauges, needles, etc...that is your best bet

Easier yet is to open up the center console and tap into the light bulb that lights up the little letters that tell what gear you're in.

[eag182]

what? these are illuminated?

lol. You've never noticed that before? Just the other day, I was thinking how worth less they were when iluminated.
