underhood lighting mod
 

I completed another mod. (it never ends).

I wanted some under hood lighting, (supplied by Advanced Automotive Concepts, aka: AAC) to show off the engine area at night time. I decided to stay with my theme of using blue LED’s which are installed under the foot wells in the interior and inside the trunk.

First thing was to drill a hole for the switch which is mounted to the roto-fab radiator cover.

I then started to run all the wiring for the lights. I wrapped some small gage wire with electrical tape for the entire run. Trying to keep it tucked up underneath areas to hide it the best I could.

Next came the wire inside the fuse box. (Thanks to Bee Sting for his write-up in this area).

Afterward came the work to be done on the LED’s housings, painted them flat black to match the mat.

Then I had to cut the mat to allow for the lights to tuck up inside the mat.

I used contact rubber cement to fix the LED housing to the mat. Attached the rest of the wiring, re-installed the hood mat.

Job completed.
