Did you use the window switch lamp to power the lights?

Did you have to sand the edges of the green trim?

Looks great Blacky........would love a pic without the dome light on to see how bright the cabin is.......

Blacky · 06-10-2010, 11:26 PM

Hi yes, i have the transformator for the EL wire, conected with the window switch. Yellow and Black wire.

The light is really bright, i think for driving in the night , i must dim the light or made an seperatly swicht for put the lights off in the night

*TAG UR IT* · 06-10-2010, 11:35 PM

Blacky, that looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't you be able to dim the lights using the light switch dimmer on the left of the steering wheel? You just need to be tapped into the right wire, is all. Also, if it's too bright, maybe you can put some sort of in line resistor?

Damn man, I wanna do this mod but I plan to switch out the entire interior with the carbon fiber pieces (overlayed). They don't have a carbon fiber dash piece yet that is setup for ABL and I can't necessarily sand it down I don't think like the paint. I would kill to have it setup like that when finished. Unless all of you have any suggestions.

Blacky. Awesome, love it. My interior is blue like that too, the ABL would be pretty sweet to finish it off. Did you use blue EL wiring?

Blacky · 06-11-2010, 01:02 AM

Yes , later i will cange my Trim kit to in real Carbofiber parts but foro the moment i uses the 3D carbon vinyl Parts

have used this EL Wire here , and the Colour is türkis not blue

sparaz · 06-11-2010, 07:48 PM

Anyone know how hard it would be to use this to replace my factory ABL so I can do the doors and dash with the tail wire?

sparaz · 06-11-2010, 07:54 PM

Blacky, you had to do doors and dash seperate I take it, how did you hook it into the inverter box and did you only need one box? I'm confused to how I can wire it similiar to yours on the factory line.

Blacky · 06-12-2010, 12:28 AM

i have used 3 inverters for all. 1 for the dash and the other 2 for the doors.
the Inverters in the door i have conected direkt on the Door-Window button Yellow and Black wire

hope it helps

sparaz · 06-12-2010, 01:11 AM

That does actually, and the door window wiring keeps the ABL on door panels on nonstop or only when you turn on headlights? Kind of curious about that. Sorry for all the questions, I think I just about got it now.

Blacky · 06-12-2010, 04:11 AM

you can look on you Car, if the lights on the window switch is on the EL wire is olso on.
i is not nonstop on, only if i put the lights on.

and no problem ask if you have questions, i am willing to help where i can
