camaro2lt · 04-26-2011, 11:05 PM

soo how do you switch the colors?? and any pics of the cup holder lights?

ctinatx · 04-26-2011, 11:40 PM

To switch the colors you press the switch. You can it to one of the four colors or off.

Here are some pics of the cup holder lights and the switch. Sorry about the last one being blurry

Very cool. Dealer is putting mine in as part of the deal I put together with the car purchase. Looking good. Thanks for the write-up.

Nice!

Ok a couple of questions.

Is that the switch that is mounted above the cup holders?

Is there also an LED for the passenger side foot well?

Power source. Where does it all come from?

Looks great.

Yes that's the switch mounted in the cup holders.
Yep. Passenger side also has a light.
There is a cable that splits the power going to the Aux/lighter port in center console.

The power, switch, and lights all plug into this unit.

Page 1-9 has detailed pics of the install of the power connection.

I think part of it is installation. If I changed the location of the lights and added the other part on top then they would be closer. The LEDs in that install do look brighter.

All things being equal the kit I installed is plenty bright for me

Not at all distracting while driving.

PCOLASHAN · 04-27-2011, 01:28 PM

Looks great!!!!! Nice job!

PCOLASHAN · 04-27-2011, 01:32 PM

The LEDs I used are bright, but the plate reflects the light causing the glow effect. Driving at night IMO it blends right in with the rest of the instrument lights. Hope this helps, either way you can't go wrong!!!

Yes - I love that. I want to see if I can make some combination of the plate + the GM lights, just for the sake of making the wiring cleaner and stock integration.

It would be easy to change the location of the GM lights. Just drill the holes for them in a different location.

I have more questions for you:

Does this work as part of the dimmer switch, and the vehicle lighting options?
