Some new shots.

with a drink

the leds in the cupholders are so bright, they light up my Intel spaceman





They are LEDs in the airvents, the door handles, and the cupholders, neons under the dash.

by the way, that looks bad ass. The cup holder thing i saw in the Scion at HIN Dallas and its pimp, but theirs change color.....hahahaha owned sir.
That looks awesome.. The only suggestion I would make is to find a stereo that matched... I know Kenwood has the HU that you can choose from a bazillion colors. Regardless that definitely looks pimp!!!

His JVC HU does change colors. In person, it's really red and it matches his gauge needles and odometer.

Thank you Jason, yes the red screen is the same color as the odometer and needles. I had it blue for a bit one night and it just looks better red. My JVC changes from red, rose, pink, purple, ocean, and blue.

If you look at the cupholders rubber insert, there is a rubber nub that locks it in place. I cut that nub off and a hole the size of the LED in the middle of the insert. The hole that the nub locks into is the perfect size for the LED to lock into, I just ran the wires through that hole and hooked them into the neon under the drivers dash. I used a 10" neon under each side, the LEDs are from Autozone. They came in sets of three with about 4' of wire and a resitor wired in, so its prety simple. For the airvents, I lined the inside of each one with tin foil tape, used for airconditioning work mostly. The tape really makes it all shine well, and you cant really see it unless you are looking for it. The LED is in the bottom edge pointed up, I played with the placement a bit and that looked the best. I have them all on one 3/4" round switch where the power outlet in the dash used to be. That is a constant hot, so I just fused it al 10A amd tapped everything into it.

Heres a pic of the LED off:

And now, to vacuum.

Did you screw the insert down so you can't take it out?
Ya, the screw that holds down the console under the insert, I just screwed it on top of the insert to hold them in.


And yes, vaccuum is needed

hmm...i have the older type console, and I need to take it out to fit some cups like the wendy's biggy size and the big gulp...I was thinking I could make some kind of conatct on the cup holder then put the LED in the cup holder with contacts on the bottom so that it would light up with smaller cups or bottles.

You think if I was to do that, and I put a big cup in the cupholder without the LED/sleve inside, the water could bridge the contact causing it to burn the fuse?

I think that would prolly happen. I know that I get a lot of water from condensation in the bottom of my cup holder.

I got an idea of what I could do...make the contacts in that little square cut out for the cup handles and in the sleve over there...the water doesn't usually get over there so it's all g. Then i'm going to put some kind of pressure switch so it only goes on when I put a bottle in there.

If you ever figure out a pressure switch let me know. I pondered for a while, but it hurt. For the condensation, I out a few layers of clear tape over mine

I was thinking of a switch on the side so that it would press when you put the cup in. Not like something on the bottom that would rely on weight.
