Added some blue footwell neons today

[Aztec95]

I may of put the bulb in the wrong way round?

 

[McGherkin]

You sure it's not an LED bulb? Need pics.

 

[Aztec95]

Ahh i think it may be! Its bulb shaped but is bubbled surround (as if it was a LED)

 

[Aztec95]

May aswell remove?

 

[McGherkin]

Nah. Try turning it around, and it should work when the doors open (but not manually)

I got 2 bulbs in the pack so I just wired them both up like so:

 

[Aztec95]

Sweet, il try turning it, of not il get another one....how do you know which is + an which is - to wire the other? Or doesnt it work that way?

 

[Owen92]

Not enough to get pulled no....just a tiny amount

Any blue light is enough to get you pulled AFAIK and I don't think it would go down too well of you were pulled for another reason and they then saw the glow was not from their lights.

I suppose....its only trying new things to see how it looks. Its a van....im gona get a 172/182 when i got the money and dont want to mess anything up so il doit al on the van to see how things look....

Trial and error. Solder the two wires onto the first bulb, and put it in. If it goes on manually, then you need to hold the other bulb against the wires and turn it so that it lights with the doors open. That's the way it'll need to be soldered onto the free ends of the wires.

Cheers dude

 

[McGherkin]

Oh, by the way, lose the blue and get a crisp white interior light and leave it at that

 

[Aztec95]

Il give that a go.....ebay? What are they called? Just white? Or?

 

[McGherkin]

Just white SMD lights.

I like this little trick..

 

[Struggler]

I did this when i was 18, thought it looked the muts nuts at the time,

taste has kinda changed somewhat since then though. still looks pretty smart though, try not to over do it on the blue lights, subtlety ftw!
