Default I did it guys!(Bottom lighting strips)

These are some recent upgrades of leds to my car. The bottom lights are mirror step light repeaters basically.

Looks Spectacular. I might do the same to my undercarriage for when I open the doors... Well done! Does the LS come with cup holder lighting originally, or did you wire that up yourself?

very nice! i'm glad you took my advice and made the lights for the cupholders in the back fire horizontally. they do a great job of providing just enough light to illumnate whatever is in the cupholder but not blind your passengers. good work!

Cup holders looks awesome! but the under carriage isn't my taste tho. it is like back in the days, from the fast and furious with the underglow car light kit. I think it better with puddle lights.

Default Underglow

If anyone needs a tutorial on how to install underglow I can help you out. I just did the install on my 2000 rx300. Looks great! Took me almost 4 hours though. Hopefully I can prevent you guys from spending that much time.

i would like to revive this post, because i am interested in doing the cup holders for my 3g es, rear cup holders that is, and also i would like to install the puddle lights on my 3g es, and make them activated with the use of my low beams... once that is working, i am thinking of hooking it up with the arduino and a few relays, to allow it to dim when speeding above 60 mph...
