Hello everyone.
This project is intended to add interior footwell lightning to base models, this is an initial draft so please feel free to add your comments or suggestions.
What you will need:
- Wire-Taps
- 18AWG Wire
- Some soldering skills
- RGB Led Strip
- Potentiometer (I know it is not the best method, but works)
Plan:
I will be wire tapping on the light harness that goes to the PRNDS LED light, it is important to note that this LED turns on and off (and is dimmed) with the car lights, so your footwell lightning will be automatic. (another location for the wire-tap is the trunk button).
I've seen that Green+Blue creates a very close color to the one on the buttons, so we will be powering G+B on the Led Strip and attenuate it using the potentiometer.
I did this for a 2013 Mustang and worked successfully, so it should work the same way for the 2015/2016.
Feedback?
Thank you.
Update (1/6/16): We'll be using the trunk button and passing the cable below the head unit. (read post #5 for details).
