I was bored and bought some strip of LEDs from Superbrightleds.com and installed under the dashboard and inside the front bumper cover. I used some basic toggle switches and mounted them near the OBD connector. What do you think? I know the front plate has got to go. I'm working on that. Lol

Looks good. I still have to do my grill and engine bay. I think I will do the back seat too.

Nice! Did you have to take the nose (bumper) off to install the grill lights?

I did not remove the bumper cover but had to remove the black metal plate under the hood around the hood latch. I think the bumper cover needs to come off in order to do the bottom grill piece.

Thanks, I'm debating to do something in the back seat area as well. Not sure what yet. Maybe next year.

One more question, where did you place your light strip for the grill lighting. Thanks for the info..............your car looks great.

Ryanbabz71 · 09-21-2013, 08:29 PM

What did you wire the grille lights to?

I taped the light strip on top of the bumper firing upward. It comes with double sided tape pre attached. thanks for the compliments.

Since I wanted the switch inside the car, I wired the lights to the fuse panel inside the car on the driver side. I used one of the spare fuse slots. I drilled a small hole in the firewall and routed 1/4" plastic automotive conduit all the way to the fuse panel.

The grill and floor lights both share a 3A fuse but have separate switches. The total current draw for everything is less than 1 Amp (600mA)

is there a plug n play for the footwell and cup holder lighting other than the gm , 300 bucks seems a little much

The light strips i got cost around $27 a strip. The wire and switches are just a couple more bucks. It’s really a custom setup and no instructions. You can use them anywhere and cut them to desired length.
