Interested. Do you have some pictures? I assume you have this installed on your MM.

[2,4shofast]

Sir, do you have any pics available of your kit? Im very interested!

[slickster]

What about just led white or other colors. If so I will come to you and give you a tip. And just would like to meet the man who knows everything about the mm

I can do other colors but there will be more cost involved. I bought a large quantity of green LEDs so I could bring down the cost.

Let me know what colors you'd be interested in.

I did a test install on dakslim's (Phil) MM.

Here are a couple of pictures.

I did an install in my MM a few years ago and I went with bigger LEDs. I could show you mine but that wouldn't be representative of this kit.

[fastblackmerc]

Anyone have any other ideas for interior / exterior lighting?

For example:

A kit to replace all the interior bulbs with LEDs.

A kit to install an LED in the rear cup holder.

Under the hood LED lights.

Trunk light LED(s).

I'd be in for a full white conversion! Dash cluster, shift indicator, door handles, cup holders... You know all the good stuff

OK, lets see how many we can get of each color. The more I can order of each color the cheaper it would be.

[slickster]

What I would like is exterior and interior door. Front cups. Foot well. All overhead. Hood and trunk. License plate. In bright white.

[2,4shofast]

I would be interested in an entire interior LED up grade kit if one were available, I like the green for the 4 interior door handles, cup holders and center console. I would really like to just be able to buy a kit that would come with white leds for the overhead lighting and under the dash.

[capt512]

I would be interested in interior lights, cup holder, exterior door handle (white), interior door handle, license plate light (white), assuming price was decent and most importantly quality. When I did my marauder cluster swap into my 01CV I found that the LED bulbs 194 (?) that many people including myself used for the cluster were all crap, no matter the distributor. Many of us on the forum including myself ordered and installed only for the bulbs to start going out 3-4 months later. We ended up having to use SMD strips for even lighting and durability...so I would want to make sure these didn't have the same durability problems.

[PhastPhil]

You asked for other lighting ideas. I bought a set of White L.E.D. strips off ebay, and my brother installed them along the bottom of my driver's door. I will get the other doors done soon. This is a great mod. The light comes on when the door is opened, and shuts off when the door is closed because it is hooked up to the factory door switch. The lights provide a nice glow that lights up the ground around the door. It allows you to see the ground in the vicinity of the door, and can help prevent stepping into a pot hole. It is also great if you drop something on the ground at night. The idea for this came from a very rare factory option that provided a similar light. But I have to confess, I got the idea from Larry O 340.

The OEM kit was called "valet lighting" which I have installed on my car. It's a nice addition.

I'll look into to it.

Thanks!

They will ship first class USPS tomorrow.

[Cougar_Marauder]

I would love an entire interior conversion to blue...or red. I always wanted to do that but fear taking the dash apart.

[slickster]

Bumping for some white's

[tbone]

I think red would be cool.

[kmastl]

Installed my kit today.
I am very pleased with the outcome. I am going to wire the rear door lights into the front ones so they go on with the key and do not get turned off with the window locks.

One thing to note.. For the center govebox I used a 5/8 inch bit like it lists on the front of the directions not a 1/2" like it says in the directions. It's all good though the epoxy is holding it real tight.

It should take about an hour to install. Do it and you can show it off at Carlisle.

I will be going for one of your original green kits but will not be able to do it till after Carlisle sometime.
One of the things I have been meaning to do so might as well get it done seeing your offering it to us.

[hwy73]

Received mine on Friday, 5/27. Looks well-engineered. I guess the "feedback" gimmick is broke because for the second time today I got the "you do not have permission" message. Wait, maybe I don't have permission??????? :confused:

I would love to, but I have a rule that I do not do anything to the car other then clean it before a event. I just have the worst luck and even something as simple as this install with my luck will probably cause a dead short and leave me stranded in PA. :D
Next Sunday 6/12 seems like the perfect day to tackle this. Ill even do a full pictorial and how-to guide on it. I'm looking forward to seeing how these look installed.

Looks great. Im wondering if the light would look less like a spot light if you moved the LED to directly behind the handle. The light would bounce off the back and give it a ambient lighting effect inside the cup.
I may try it on my install.

You may have to lengthen the wires on the LED and make sure the wires don't get tangled / damaged in the door handle mechanism.

That's an idea, but would the LED get clipped by the female's fingernails as they grabbed the door handle? Or does it mount flush enough not to. Just a thought.

I've had this installed in my MM for over 5 years and have never had a problem with anyone hitting / clipping the LED.

I would love to get one of these kits! I had bought a pack of green automotive LEDs that included wires, but they died out in about two weeks. Glad I only took the time to do the front doors at the time. Also, could you PM me with where you wired them in for the doors for power? I'm curious as to whether or not I made a bad choice in the power supply for the LEDs.

[Midnight]

Does this kit include instructions on how to remove all the parts required, and where we are wiring everything to?

If so, thats worth $55.... Other people have posted a FULL LED conversion... (dash, and all lights)... i am curious on how that would go...

Personally, i would LOVE to do it... i just dont want to start the project blind (Not knowing what i am doing)

let me know :)

[capt512]

Do the green leds match the interior yellow green color or are they green green? I have some green leds with soldered in resistors that I used for my headlights switch, but they aren't the same shade as the yellow green cluster with smd strips.

They are green green. however they do look great and its not a distraction or look out of place.

OK, some of you guys asked for a white LED kit......

Just waiting for the 10mm LEDs to show up.

The price of the kit will be the same...... $55.00 (shipping included).

Since I'm not going to take green LEDs out of my doors, the first person to PM me will get the kit for $45.00.... but, you'll have to agree to post pictures of the completed installation.

Can anyone post a picture of the white ones?
Reading these posts has got me kinda interested.
(First choice would be green; but white sounds interesting).

The lights for the: courtesy lights, map lights, reading lights, gear shift indicator light, center pod gauges.
Which of these come in white which come in green? (i.e. the map lights won't come in green I would figure. Whereas the pod guages, I would gather; do?)

[Curless]

Any pics of this kit in the daylight, not turned on? Just want to see where the light actually sits. Thanks

For the gear shift light there is a green plastic filter under the gear letters. You would need to sand off the green filter from the one side of the plastic filter and then it will allow any colored light through.

For the lower gauge pod you would need to get rid of the green filters on the gauge faces OR upgrade to real gauges which do not illuminate the face but allow light all around the sides to illuminate the gauge.

Thanks Chris; but I think maybe I worded things wrong.

I guess I'm just asking if lights like the Map lights, are white - no matter which kit you buy (Green OR White).
As well, the lights in the visors - they must be white also correct? (Don't think anyone would want green ones there!).

[ctrlraven]

Yes the map lights and vanity mirror lights are white, there is no filter for them so whatever color bulb you put in is what color will show.
