Hi guys, am interested in the mod as featured in this youtube video, that is, the LEDs at the bottom of the car when one unlocks or locks the car.

would appreciate if any forum members could point me to the right direction. Thanks!

Although its full of rice that is a pretty sweet mod!!

Car looks nice but the lights under the car

A little over the top personally. To do it though you'd have to tap into the dome light wiring and ground your lights using that. But you can't put too many lights on there as (don't quote me I read it somewhere) the circuit they're on can only handle 30W.


I was thinking of doing something like this to mine, a friend has it on his BMW and I thought it was a nice touch, would also have interior door handles light up as well as footwell lights. Nice or Rice??

I think that would look good on a liberty under our handles Doesnt suit that car though with the big circles!

Yeah my thoughts exactly, the BMW ones shine down and kind of act like puddle lights, I think a subtle light under handle would look alright, hopefully...


Found this, just a dim light, pretty much what I'd be going for.

yeah it's kinda rice indeed but i like it for some reason!

As far as I know... this is a post mod by Subaru themselves. One of my mates has a MY08 Forrester XT, and he got those same lights installed at one of the Subaru service centres. As for costs, I really don't know how much he spent... but looks cool though... yes... I can see how some of you guys think this looks kinda wanky... but hey... could be worse...

Can you find out any details from your mate? ie part numbers, costs and how its wired to the dome light?

Thanks

Had a bit of a browse and found it here:

These lights are called "Puddle Lights"

Wow that's expensive!!!

Anyways, thanks for pointing me to the right direction, i.e. the puddle lights.

A quick search in google I found this great step by step article for the 09 Forester using 3rd party parts and heaps cheaper!

Not sure if this can be replicated on the liberty though.

That looks OK but I do like the idea of the door handle lights

Other than time restriction... I'm sure nothing is impossible for our LED king.

i remember saw a 3 Series BMW with the handle LED ... and went WOW ....... i want that in my car ... few days later ... nahh !! too much work and looks a bit ....

but i quiet like the puddle light thats on the side mirror that some cars got, so when you unlock the doors the light on the bottom of the mirror lights up the ground .. and Ian i'm not starting another project !! haha

but i did this over the weekend ... took 2 mins.
