Red LED footwell lights done
« on: 26 November 2013, 19:54 »
Well guys, might be a Marmite thing, but the all white glow from the interior was getting a bit sterile, so thought I'd put back in the Red LED foot well light units I removed from the Scirocco, and now much prefer the ambient lighting at night.

Decided to photograph them properly so dug out the Nikon D3s and 24-70 F2.8 with the tripod and voilà = hope you like ?

Let me know what you think, good or bad  :laugh:

Very nice, much better I think! Is it tricky to do? What LED's do I need to get?

It's great you can do these things but it's not for me I'm afraid. It's just a bit to showy and in your face. The white is more classy IMO but as you say it's a marmite thing

Thanks guys, and Craig that's totally fine, would be a very boring world if we all liked the same things.

Two things though, a) the LED lights fitted actually were not very bright (compared to previous VW's) and b) what you are seeing is the full intensity (I.e actually being used a foot well lights), but I have them dimmed down to 50% when driving, and it just provides a nice warm glow.

Sorry Norbreck I'm with CraigW on this. Great photo's but I prefer the new blue/white interior LED's.

I like it Norbreck, bit of individuality never went amiss. Must compliment the photography as well :smiley:

Looks like you have some serious footwarming tech going on down there  :tongue:.

I think a subtle blue glow would  look great.
