Look what i made!!!1! *Pics*
 
I posted this on my home forum but thought you guys might like it:

So upon attempt of fixing my door handle i found out that i had a lighted key entry, in light of this i set out to fix it. No places localy had any sort of bulb that would work. I had a few LEDs laying around but were all probrbaly rated at 2.8 Volts or something. I then hooked them up in a series and they all yeilded good light and wernt going to burn out so heres what i did.

Nice! I was thinking of something like that.

Give us a write up, that's pretty sweet man. I'd definetly want to do that and hook it up to soem sort of remote so i can see where to put my key in a dark dark alley with many many girls....


But for real a writeup woudl be cool on just how you did it and maybe be worth archiving?

nice invention. write up?

bcool 08-28-04 09:27 PM

I'll make another thread when i get my door handle painted then i can do a "step by step" procedure with you guys. It looks really great on the car, i used white LED's so i doesnt look ricey it almost looks like a stock option.

Falcoms 08-28-04 10:55 PM

Do you have it set up so that it is on all the time or what?

nates7 08-28-04 11:29 PM

Damn nice work if I do that I will hook it up with some blue or red led's.

xfeastonarsex 08-29-04 12:14 AM

it looks pretty cool, you should loose some of the LEDs to make it a little dimmer IMO, you get it wired so when the car is on, the lights go off? now that would be cool.

bcool 08-29-04 12:58 AM

The key hole light only lights up when the car is off, you lift up on the handle, or open either door.

RXciting 08-29-04 01:02 AM

Hey that would be a nice thing to do if i still had door handles

sub9lulu 08-29-04 03:10 AM

awesome
i'd love to have that

CokeRx7 08-29-04 03:26 AM

The lEDs look awsome... and "RXciting" what you mean no door handles... and what year 7 you drivin.. it would be awome to have the leds light up with a keyless entry.. simular to how when you turn on your alarm for the car the lights... light up for a few blinks..

bcool 08-29-04 02:48 PM

Im painting my door handel today so hopefully ill have some pics and a writeup later.

Keyless entry is your friend.

Dan Unk 08-29-04 04:16 PM

Nice job! looks good.

bcool 08-30-04 03:07 PM

I took most of the pics but a few were blurry on the car, so im gonna get a tripod up tonight and it should come out a bit better. Plus, i have to pull it out again cause i think i missed getting electrical tape around 1 wire so i think it shorted out 1 LED' but we'll see. Ill have pics up later.
