Sparky if you mean the dials its really hard to put a time on it as i did it spread across months as the car is my daily driver and i didnt have much time spare, also i was having to trial and error it at the same time and wait for part deliveries, especially from america (took ages). i wouldnt say its a 2 second job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 i would defo do it in stages, like do the doors, then the fascia dials, then the AC controls ect. so it would be spread across a few weeks/months Sparky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thats looks amazing!!! Nissan will be following suit!! Patent? LOL errr...... have you forgot they have done away with the strut bar on the 370 But I like the idea and as the tonneau is on the cabin side it does not affect the light for the main boot area, as rtbiscuit mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you sand the LEDs lightly with some fine wet and dry, that should disperse the light rather then causing it to be directional shouldnt it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you sand the LEDs lightly with some fine wet and dry, that should disperse the light rather then causing it to be directional shouldnt it ? a good plan, i wonder if that'd work?? they arent spot lit that badly tbh so im not too worried ill use slightly different ones next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just don't go too far with your LED add-on touches Husky. So far they have been tasteful, but don't tip it over the edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just don't go too far with your LED add-on touches Husky.So far they have been tasteful, but don't tip it over the edge... oh god no im not ending up with a christmas tree the idea with these is you dont see the led's and they are only on when you open the boot anyhow. not too bright, not intrusive.

nixy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 looks really good - i know what BM means about LED's going too far and i've seen some hideous examples on headlights recently - on a Vectra for one........but the boot lighting looks really good as you can't actually see the LED's just the nice light it casts down.

Husky Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 thats what i'll do then They shouldnt cost much tbh, i'll do some that you can install yourself and some already installed into a strut bar peice for those who dont like to dabble. just give me a chance, i'll order some parts today and get cracking asap im just going to make batches of so many at a time for sale rather than making them on demand Any colour preferences for the first batch??

Digsy Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have to say, when I saw the title I though I would hate this. However, I think it looks really subtle and cool. Anyone would think you worked for Jaguar, dawg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
