Most car owners want to make their pet individual and stylish. One of the elements that most often beginner tuners modify is the interior lighting. Well-designed lighting can create real comfort in the cabin. You are completely free to choose the shade that appeals to you the most. LED interior lighting can be bold red, and can be more soothing (blue, green).
Implementation of refinement occurs through the use of LEDs. Interior lighting looks great if, instead of LEDs, apply, for example, LED strip. Thanks to this decision, your car in the dark will cause extraordinary interest among others. The original interior lighting will be an excellent decoration for both a domestic car and a prestigious foreign car.
The installation locations of additional light sources are quite diverse. Most often, tuners prefer to do backlighting, as well as the instrument panel. Do-it-yourself interior lighting is done very carefully and painstakingly. For starters, you can replace all the standard backlight with colored LEDs. For ethical reasons, the color scheme of the dashboard, buttons and foot lights should be the same. But this is not the rule, especially for people who like to show imagination.
At your disposal can be LEDs of various colors, sizes, as well as brightness. If you are free to choose the color yourself, then there is great advice regarding size and brightness. Interior lighting should be organized using the smallest and brightest LEDs. A clear advantage of
LED lamps is low power consumption, vibration resistance and rare burnout. There is one “but”! Often, for their installation, you need to drill small holes in the plastic of the cabin, which not everyone likes.
A wonderful alternative is LED strip. It is best to use moisture-proof tapes that are coated with silicone. Note that this coating perfectly protects against accidental mechanical damage.
Consider the minimum set of backlight elements that you need to buy in advance. You will need LEDs or LED strip, wire (preferably 3-5 m), power button, electrical tape and soldering kit. To achieve a more effective result, you can buy a special module that will allow you to adjust the brightness of the glow, control the program if your LEDs have a different color, and you can also buy a remote control backlight.
Installation must be carried out in compliance with the following key points. The LED strip should be cut strictly in a certain place, and the ends of the conductor should be soldered to the plus and minus contacts. After that, remove the protective layer from the tape and glue it at the bottom of the front panel. It is best to find a place that will hide the presence of your refinement, but the light will spread unhindered. The last step is to connect the backlight button and lay the wiring under the skin or mats.
