Illuminated Cup Holder

[edraven]

Has anyone in their travels come across a mod for illuminating the cup holder?

Seemingly pointless aye! But on a country run last eve I had to fish around to get a bottle in there because my eyes couldn't adjust to the darkness of the cabin from the brightness of the highbeams; well adjust fast enough to prevent looking down long enough to end up in the roadside trees.

Would be handy to have a red LED mounted in there - If there's not a decent kit / example floating about I'll hit Jaycar and tap into the accessories socket in the console.

Just buy an led and do it yourself dude. I just mounted an led in the centre of the cup holder but I have it wired up to flash whenever the ignition is switched off (the illusion of security ) ... it'll be a lot cheaper to do it yourself, and there's really not much to it.

We sell LED strips that you can use for this mod...I would say the side emitting strip or the regular ribbon strip would be best. check us out here www.automoglow.com
