Cool Gs led

And here is the wide angle 1200cmd LED I added just above the rearview mirror... I actually wired it to stay on also while I am driving, so it gives me a little light. It just doesn't blink like it does when the alarm is armed.. Ok, so what do you all think?? And yes, I do have the heat in the seats now, not just the switches.!!

Taadaaaa

Thanks... I think it's looks much better. It's a T1.5. As most are in the switches... I think the "seats" indicators are a T1 and the rest are a T1.5

Rock, did you set up the led light above the rear view in similar fashion to Jeff Tsai's diy?

hey bro, not too sure on Jeff's mod, but mine is just placed in the felt liner directly above and center of the rear view mirror illuminating the center colsole area.

Thanks,

Hey bro, I would just do like I did and use the rubber booties... Much easier... Make sure to place the 2 small clips correctly into the switch, otherwise, it will not switch to on or off.
