Let us know.  It's a cool kit, but I won't bother whilst I live in the area that I do.

If something like that did happen, the LED and its wiring could be replaced for about £2... the more expensive electronics are housed inside the car away from the chavs!!  :wink:

I've been working on these for the past few weeks now and have come up with this:




It is now completely plug and play (plugs into the loom behind the trim on the passenger's side A pillar) - so no wiring required!

The lights now come on when the car is unlocked with the key fob as well as when a door is opened

Also, the time the lights stay on after a door is closed can be adjusted from 10s to 90s by turning a dial on the circuit board

Two superbright white LEDs with wiring are included (although not pictured)

Sent Rhyso his today, if anyone else would like a set they cost £40 inc post, let me know!  :smiley:


How come they're £40 here, but you're doing them on ukmkiv for £35? :)

Dont miss much do you Bob!   :shocked:
Because between posting this last night and posting on UKMkIVs this morning I found some of the bits cheaper if I buy in bulk so I passed on the £5 saving
Hadn't updated it on here yet! Have now..

Where do you source your parts from by the way?  I always end up going the way of the Maplin!
