LED's

Anyone out there do complete kits for interior LED's on an '00 alero. I know basic wiring and wont have a problem tying in a few grounds or powers.

I too am looking for a decent "how to" on this.....

Ha well I did look into your frequently asked questions the other day, cherrington. It was very informative and good stuff. But I just want something plug in play for now.

Nothing there for LED's. This is Soldotna, Alaska were talking about. Cherrington how much would you charge to do all the wiring and send them to me? I dont mind pulling panels off and making some holes I just hate wiring

hard to do wiring if he doesn't know where you are mounting and such... Plus it would end up being pretty expensive as I'm sure it will take him a lot of time to do it and will charge you labor..

Well if I want mine to have the same LED's as his I'm sure he is smart enough to figure out where I want to mount mine. and Cost isn't a big deal thats why Im asking him.

Just order a bunch of stuff from oznium.com, they have a dummy bulb set where you can put in the fake bulb and attach whatever type of LED strip or chipset you want. I'm in the process of doing a lot of conversions like that myself right meow.

If I was to do this, it would be a very irrational price. (in the thousands) I barely have enough free time to log in and keep up with the very few threads that interest me. I haven't touched my car in months...
It would take me MONTHS to get a "full kit" together, and with how valuable my time has become (between school and studying) totally not worth it for you.

Sorry.

As for how, www.superbrightleds.com has some good plug and play stuff. as does www.oznium.com Look at where you want lights, use some common sense and mount accordingly. I have everything drilled and mounted until panels and inside holes... you can't see a single light in my car. Yet it glows quite a bit. Look at pics from other builds and get an idea of what everything looks like, and start picturing where/how your going to hide stuff. Preplanning pay massive dividends here.

...You should have seen some of the schematics I was drawing in some of my more boring classes. Sitting through a 3hr lecture on biomechanics lead to my rotary switch relay assembly being thought up.

I know how that is. Well oh well I guess I'll suck it up and do some wiring. Your guides will certainly help. Thanks

the_weber · 04-23-2011, 11:22 AM

one last thing for now. can I hook these http://www.oznium.com/prewired-superflux

up with
http://www.oznium.com/dummy-bulbs

and not blow fuses?

cherrington17 · 04-23-2011, 11:49 AM

Your better off going to www.superbrightleds.com and getting the direct replacements.

the_weber · 04-23-2011, 11:57 AM

I already did

got the dome lights replaced and all but Im wanting to do cup holders, doors, vents, and under the seats (pretty much where your feet sit)

cherrington17 · 04-23-2011, 01:23 PM

under the seats/feet area are best to use the strips. (or drill holes and mount from above with standard leds)

vents... you could use the right angle strips (in small lengths) or regular leds.

i wouldn't bother with "holders" in those instances.

the_weber · 04-23-2011, 01:43 PM

strips is what I was thinking too.

XanderWiFi · 04-23-2011, 05:10 PM

are you an officer?

I always thought you could drum up business doing this cherry.

the_weber · 04-23-2011, 05:10 PM

Me? Police? how the eff did you know that?

cherrington17 · 04-23-2011, 10:16 PM

If I wasn't in school, I'd absolutely have a stock of things sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.

XanderWiFi · 04-24-2011, 10:12 AM

I meant Army, but hey, I'll take the psychic credit for that one.
