greetingz,

Thanks Steve for this confirmation. I'm still waiting because local Stealership was not provided.

I'm curious to see the light that LED will emit. Respect the white LED I've just received from superbrightleds.com, this seems to be more similar to standard filament bulb.

OK, this thred has got my attention. Sounds like a mod I'd be interested in. Pictures please!

As I said, I'm sorry!

In any case, for your information, I'm planning to connect them to boot fuse box, to external position (european standard) light.

I'll decide as soon I'll receive components.

...some pictures of the light that is being talked about here:

this is how flat it is:

greetingz,

[1998K]

These photos are much appreciated, thanks a lot!

Does the material you've cutted is leather or plastic? Mine are is as per european "elegance" standard (not leather). Hoping that cut will be possible as well.

Do you have dismounted the back of the seat to install and pass the cabling? I'm quite sure it's not necessary.

hi

For your information guys: the two led lights are just arrived. I've not installed yet, but I've just connected to a 12 V source. Their light is very dim! It seems not so useful.
I'm planning to connect to the exterior light, please what do you suggest me: to connect directly to the front fuse box (to external european light) or to other internal connection (i.e.: by a relè connected to a 12 v source as the lighter socket and controlled by the light cable from ISO radio connector)?

thanks a lot for any help

It is PERFECT! you'll see once you installed them...you don't want any bright light underneath the seats, do you?

greetingz.

[1998K]

OK thanks a lot for your important clarification. Do you think it'll be useful also if I install other two in the front foot area?

[1998K]

Hello, after a lot of time, yesterday I had some free time to perform the installation. At the moment I've passed all the necessary cable but I've installed only one light. My 12V is a permanent source, as done by Steve, but my question is:
how does Steve have obtained the "dimming feature"? Have You installed a dedicated capacitor?
Please be so kind to inform me about.

thanks

dimming???

greetingz,

Sorry may be I'm wrong, but I was wondering that your were provided with gradual turn off feature.

But I think I'm wrong.

thanks in any case.

Mine. beeing connected to a permanent 12V source, when I turn off, some few intermittent lamps still persist for some seconds, so I'm wondering to add a capacitor to stabilize the volts for some seconds. Hoping my bad explanation will be clear. thanks also for this.
