Ambient night lighting

[DennisTheMenace]

im in a lazy so this is cut and pasted from moonrakers

Got bored and felt like fiddling ...... stop sniggering...

Took the interior mirror apart and fitted ambient lighting

just got to run me wires to a light source now.

mirror in bits and holes drilled


test fit


oooo niiiice


Leds glue gunned into position and glass fitted back in (bit of an arse twitcher the glass!)


from the rear ooer


mounted back in the car


And its not very good but a rough idea of what its for , centre console and gearstick area are now lit by a red glow


And this is where i got the idea , www.miata.net/garage/mirror_lights.html

i spose you could do the same with hyper bright leds and wire them to come on with the interior light .

Denny - cool idea

Only downside is that you're simply adding to my 'to do' list for when I come to see you

The worst thing is popping the glass out of the mirror , its either coming out in 1 pice or its gonna break , i was lucky i think , looks bloody good in the dark though , proper tarts handbag

No, it fell off, not sure where it is, passed MOT without it, so cant be essential
