Interior Red Footwell Lights In CTR-GT

[saggo]

I've fitted 'home made' red footwell lights in my new CTR today. I've managed to integrate them into the existing variable brightness dash lamp circuit so that they dim / brighten along with the other dash / ambient lighting (when you adjust the dimmer switch on the dashboard)

If anyone's interested how I did this and want more info - let me know. I can post pictures at the weekend if need be.

Cost about a tenner since no other componenets other than the two 12 Volt strip led's (three glass clear red led's on each) and a few meters of two core flex.

Obviously would work equally well for Blue lighing too!

Although there are other posts on the subject, a simple guide for 5 year olds, or dumbo's like me, would be great.

I connected mine to the interior lamp module (in the roof) though you'll see on this thread Footwell Lights that someone has located a far more convenient place to connect your LED's UNDER the dash! The end result is the same though I wish I'd read the post before doing mine!

Let me know if you want to do it using the same method as I used.
