LED footwell project completed

[ElvisBruski]

It's nice to finally have some light inside the 4Runner.

I used the 80 mA "Pirahna" (Superflux-style) LEDs and tied the ground (via a relay) to the dome light circuit. 2 LEDs per module and there is one module in each of the four footwell areas. Each module has its own LM317 set up in constant current mode to provide 62 mA to the LEDs. 80 mA would have been too bright and I wanted to keep the heat and power consumption down. Each box has a molex plug so it can easily be disconnected and removed if a vehicle repair is necessary.

They do not produce as much light as these nighttime time exposure photos illustrate--they actually produce a much softer and more uniform light output; the perfect amount of light in my opinion.

This forum really helped give me the idea and know-how to get this project rolling--thanks!
