Just purchased a set of illuminated door sill plates from blueovalindustries.com and had a question. They are selling the wiring kit for an extra $30, but it's basically just wire and splicing clips. I'm sure I can get this cheaper if I just do it myself. I found the clips for $1.20. What kind of wire would I need to complete this? I know I need a negative side and a positive side, but being electrically "challenged" (for the pc crowd in our midst), I just don't know what kind/guage wire I need. Any one have any thoughts on this?

 

I hooked some up to my stang and That kit is a rip off just get 22-18 gauge wire and get some ez-splices for the gauge and wire it up to the passenger side a-pillar. re assemble the panels and your done! how ever you wont be able to switch the colors you will have to just hook up the wire that you want for the corresponding color or splice them together to get like ice blue is Green and blue together.

 

You mean like this?

 

That or you could just go to bonds and pick up some wire but anywhere from 22-18 gauge will work. If you need help wiring it just pm me.

 

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

 

Anytime m8 (Redid my base interior to a premium )

 

if you want them to change colors get an RBG controller (MUST be common cathode and NOT common anode)


hope you enjoy the look of the lighted door sills!

got them on my base model too

i need to post some updated pics tho since I have leather now.

 

Yeah, I'm working on it. Already replaced my base cluster with a premium cluster and got it all working. Now on to other areas...

 

Looking forward to seeing the updated pics

 

If you need some help just pm me im about 99% complete.

Looks good! Did you install the leather interior yourself? If so, how do you remove the rear headrests and remove the cloth, how much different from the fronts?

thanks!

 

PM me for details

 

heres my car with the leather!

I did the install myself yes, it wasnt so hard... just take your seats out, unclip the plastic clips all around, remove the plastic pieces etc...

you need hog rings and the hog ring pliers to put them on.

the backseat headrest stay on, you just pull the cloth around the buttons and when you put the leather on push it under the buttons carefully.
