I was bored today so I found a good DIY to make some Illuminated Cup Holders.
It took about 5 hours, but that was because I was watching TV
Before I post the Pics here is the DIY that I followed

Its a great DIY.
The only difference with mine was that I needed a 270 ohm Resistor as I was using 2 blue LEDs and not 2 green ones.
And here are the pictures, Pictures were taken by phone, and it was very dark out. Enjoy

They are sitting very flush, I used LED holders, and sanded the LED to sit flush with the holder.

Very sexy.

Hehe, Thanks

What 12V source did you use?

 

[|-Goku-|]

Its powered off the little light that lights up around the Cigarrete Power Source.

SO how did you run the through the cupholder without removing the center console? AND can we get daytime pics? Thanks

 

[FirstXrs]

sanded the LED to sit flush with the holder

SO how did you run the through the cup holder without removing the center console?

I'm interested in these two things. I didn't know you could sand an LED.

I'm interested in these two things. I didn't know you could sand an LED.

The Cup Holder itself pops out of the center console, I had to remove the Climate control unit, and the two things below it.

And yes, you can sand down an LED.

 

[FirstXrs]

Thanks for the quick response. I'll check it out today.

Goku how about doing a DIY of LED in the wheelwells? that would be nice. hehehe

maybe Goku can show you guys a picture of a LED with the top sanded off and one LED as is. be careful not to sand too much off the top of a LED because you can render it unusable.
