the *eyes* in the cupholders are barely noticable, and i can put the rubber cup holder canister thing and the ash tray thing back on to cover them up.
they are slightly off center but it really doesnt bother me much as a water bottle still balances and achieves the desired affect =)

plz let me know what you think. again this is in an 02 sport

being an offroad person.. and usually not liking any of the extra interior lighting (leds, neons, indiglos, etc..) i have to say that looks pretty cool. really pops with the water bottles in there. i think i would prefer it if it was not quite so bright though. pretty neat overall. good install..
 






Woah!!!!!!!!! That is damn cool.....
 






it's amazing that i do it and so does everyone else! even the same color!

just want to be like Dave!


P.S. got the idea with all the LED's that CMEGLOW had
 






It's amazing, isn't it?? I need to do some rewiring when I get home from school later this week. It's starting to lose contacts. Plus, I need to do a write-up anyway. Good job!!!

P.S. Davo, BMXboy is awesome at lighting. I want to do the stuff he did but I'm a very very poor college kid. :)
 












Looks great!

Where did you get the lights? and what did you wire them to? Thanks.:D
 






You have to tell me what brand of LED's are those and where did you get them from. Those are alot brighter then any I've seen, I figured i'd have to use 3-4 to get a good effect.
 






I would also like to know how you guys wired all this up and where you got everything.
 






got the LED's at autozone for like $11

they come with little buttons on them to hold them in place so they dont fall through the hole you put them in

I took out my center console, wired everything up, then drilled through and stuck the lights in

wired it to the fuse box, number 12 my inside lightning fuse

very simple really




o yah i also drilled under the dash and put a switch down there to connect it all up =)
 






Hey all :) Looking good guys

I should have patented that LED cupholder mod ;)

Hey bmxboy....

Might want to check the length of that sig. I think it's a little big. Read this to see what I mean.

Lol, thanks Silverblade. I changed my sig anyway though...cleaned it up a little. Like I said in another post, I really don't come here that often anymore but if you ever need help just IM me or e-mail me.

As in Cool Car Club? Yah...I know Ricky and Frankie and some of them...you friends with them?
 






Yea I'm friends with Austin he's one of my roommates for next year at school. I know Ricky and a few other guys, but only met them a few times.
 












I remember asking you awhile back on the site if you had ever heard of this one (after I saw one of your posts about your truck being sold), and you said you had, and I remember you signing 'Carleton' so I just checked out your site, and sure enough, it was the same. :cool:
