Beautiful backlit car interior. How to make a backlight in the cabin of the car do it yourself

Every driver who spends a lot of time will not give up improvement salon lighting His car. However, it is not always time to go for this in the car service. Especially since the beautiful light in the cabin is possible. A high-quality interior backlight will be at all no worse than the service.

LED backlighting car interior

First you need to decide on the backlight site. You do not stand here, aesthetics above all. Select better classic option and highlight the floor under the front seats and under the dashboard.

Also, it is also necessary to determine which light is a monophonic or multi-colored, with the ability to change the color using the control panel. Consider possible options separately.

Option number 1. Multicolor illumination that is fed from the cigarette lighter.

The method of producing electricity from ordinary is the easiest. With this option, it is not necessary to interfere with the electrical chain of your car.

The video shows how the car light illumination looks like:

What will be needed for this type of connection:

• rGB LED ribbon for 4 contacts;
• the controller of such a tape with the control panel, it is using these devices;
• the wire for 4 colors, stranded, about 5 meters long. It is better that the postings in it had the chromaticity of the same as on the controller;
• 4 connector (terminal clamp);
• soldering iron and soldering material, such as solder and rosin;
• silicone transparent sealant.

Before you purchase everything you need for installation, you need to carefully make measurements where the LED tape will be attached, as well as the entire perimeter by which the wires will pass. At first, Merim is the distance under the dashboard, from the side and passenger, where the ribbon will be mounted, then the distance under the front seats. After which you measure the perimeter for which the stranded wire will pass, ranging from the glove, then through the right passenger seat to driver's seat And finally, to the pedals of the car. Leave a little about the reserve.

As a result, 4 segments of the tape and 7 segments of the wire should be obtained. The lighting circuit of the lighting both on the left side and with the right, starting from the glove box, will look like this: tape - wire - connector - wire - connector - wire - tape. Between itself, such a chain is connected by a wire passing between the upper connector. The upper pair of terminal clips is located under the instrument panel, the bottom - under the seats.

The video shows a multi-colored LED interior lighting:

By buying a diode tape, you need to remember that it is possible to cut it into parts only in certain places, strictly along the line coming between metal flat contacts. It should also be remembered that the controller can withstand no more than 12 watts, so it is necessary to pre-calculate the total power of all tape bulbs and, if necessary, reduce its length .

When everything you need purchased:

• cut the tape and the wire to the segments we need;
• cutting the wires from both sides of the plastic by about 1 cm;
• the desired cut is soldered to the tape, each posting to a separate contact;
• then, insulating the place of soldering with silicone glue, so that the wires do not cut off and did not touch.

Ribbon with wires secure on its place with the help of bilateral tape or other material. We start in place under the glove compartment. We skip the wires through the terminal clamp, we attach the controller to it, watches each wire to match the color on the controller. We finish the installation of lighting under the pedals of the machine.

All wires are trying to hide under the trim ,. It remains to connect the controller to the cigarette lighter. Use ordinary car charging for mobile phone. We disassemble it and let the wires along the way, bypassing the voltage stabilizer, it is necessary in order to raise the voltage in charge from 4 to 12 watts. One wire is soldered to the fuse, the other to the leg of the right metal ear bypassing the stabilizer, i.e. to "minus". And stick it to the plug into the controller, and the charger in the cigarette lighter. Learning how to connect the LED, it remains only to master the control panel and enjoy light music.

Using this option of connecting light in the cabin, you need to remember that the backlight will be lit only when the ignition key is turned or when the machine is installed.

Option 2. LED backlight, fed from the battery.

To install, you will need:

• lED tape for 2 contacts;
• the wire consisting of two lives, such as red and black colors, is about 5 meters long;
• soldering iron and material for soldering;
• sealant;
• the toggle switch with the "enabled" and "off" position.

Cut the tape and wires as in the 1st version. Wires solder to the contacts of the tape, each to its pool specified near the contact. We solder the red wire to the positive contact of the tape, and black to the minus contact. Terminal clamps can be used, but you can do without them. How to use them, we already know. It is better to install them, since in the future it will be easier to replace the sections of the sections, and not change the whole tape.

Then the black wire must be reached, stretching it under the rug and the trim. Connect it to the battery. Red wire plug into bed and further pull it to plus Terminal Akb and connect to it. Tumbler placed in a convenient place where it is easy to reach it.
This illumination will work as long as the toggle switch is in the "Included" position.

The regular lighting of the car's cabin is also necessary at night, like air conditioning in hot weather or "wipers" during the rain. With lighting it will be easier to find the necessary little things. A number of people with illumination in the salon tired slowly and is better concentrated on the road. Additional illumination is also a way to make your vehicle in unique, not like hundreds of thousands of other machines.

Why do you need an additional backlight

The feeling of comfort in the car salon largely depends on the quality of internal lighting. The need for a soft, not annoying illumination is particularly relevant while traveling at night, when you need to check with a card, write to the notebook, get important trifles from the glove box or find items that have fallen to the floor.

Additional illumination has an important aesthetic value. It creates a unique design internal interior machines, highlights it among similar vehicle. Such a backlight can be synchronized with the subwoofer, as a result of which the LEDs will pulsate and change colors in the tact of music. Despite the important role, which is given to the backlight of the car's interior, the regular lighting system in some models of the car leaves much to be desired, so it has to redo their own hands.

Backlight options

Modern car accessories market offers two backlight options: neon and LED. These backlight options are installed either separately, or combined with each other, highlighting part of the cabin neon, part of the LEDs.

Neon backlight occurs in the form of a lamp or flexible cord. Lamps emit bright, smooth light, but they are afraid of mechanical damage and often burn out with intensive use. Flexible tape is more practical, it is easily mounted in the cabin, suitable for illumination of uneven and embossed surfaces, does not fight and consumes little electricity.

LED backlight becomes increasingly, for which the following advantages are characteristic:

• flexible design;
• compact dimensions;
• easy installation;
• convenient form of purchase (Metrach);
• low sensitivity to mechanical damage;
• increased service life;
• the ability to change the color of the light stream (in RGB-tapes).

Thanks to the compact dimensions, the LED ribbon can be glued to small interior elements: handles, cigarette lighter, steering wheel. With it, you can get interesting light effects, starting from smooth turning on and off the backlight, ending with the transitions between several colors.

IMPORTANT! The color of the backlight must be harmonized with the interior color. From right choice The color depends the result and quality of the glow.

Places for installation

In the car's cabin you can highlight anything. Most often additional light sources are installed on the following elements:

• in the glove compartment;
• under the seats;
• on the doors;
• on faithful handles;
• near the driver's torpedo;
• under the glove compartment;
• at the ignition castle;
• in the trunk.

For tuning of small elements (ignition lock, door handles) use single diodes, diode tapes are glued to larger surfaces.

Tools and materials

Before purchasing required tools Both materials, you need to decide on the site of setting the backlight and make the appropriate measurements. To install, you will need:

• single diodes for point illumination;
• lED tape (if you plan to highlight the ceiling, instrument panels, footpace);
• wiring kit (3-5 m);
• heat-shrink tubing;
• any degreaser;
• insulating tape;
• glue "moment";
• soldering iron;
• scissors;
• dimmer;
• screwdriver Set;
• tools that are listed in the backlit instructions.

LED ribbon is sold by a honey. It can be bought on automotive market or in a specialized store of spare parts. Experts recommend not to save on quality tape and acquire good LEDs.

ATTENTION! It is better to purchase a ribbon with a small margin than at the last moment to discover that it is not enough.

If you do not want to suffer with measurements, soldering and insulating the wires, you can search for kits that are ready for connecting. They include LED strips with soldered along the edges of the wires. Such bands are fixed in the right place and connected to the power supply.

Installing different backlight options

Point diodes

A resistor solder to one of the legs of the diode. Next, the wires are soldered and wind open wiring isolate. At a distance of about 20 cm make a terminal connection. LEDs are ready to install.

Now they prepare a place for mounting. If we are talking about the handles of the cabin, it will be necessary to remove the trim and at the installation site make a small hole. The hole should be of this diameter so that the diode keeps in it quite tight. If desired, it will be possible to glue the diode with the "moment" glue.

The wiring is pulled under the trim in the cabin in such a way that it can be subsequently connected. In the same way, point diodes are installed anywhere in the cabin.

LED Strip Light

Install in the car LED backlight is not difficult. The location of the intended mounting is measured and cut off the ribbon of the corresponding length. Cuts produce with scissors on special membranes.

ATTENTION! If the tapes take more than you need, it will feel bad and will continue to be saved. Therefore, it is better to cut off a little less than the tape than was planned.

Wiring is soldered to the edges of the prepared segments, check the performance of the structure, connecting it to the power, after which they go to the installation. For best clutch Ribbons with a plastic surface. Tape fastening site degrease. For this, the degreaser is applied to the cloth, wipe the desired plot and leave it for 3-5 minutes to complete drying. After that, from the LED tape remove the protective film and glued the strip in the right place. If the tape does not have a protective film and a sticky surface, then for its installation, the "moment" adhesive.

The algorithm described above is suitable for mounting lighting on straight surfaces. If you need to set the backlight on the segment with the bend, you will have to tinker. The fact is that the LED ribbon is not desirable even at an angle of 90 degrees. Therefore, you will need to cut off two pieces of the desired length, clean the edges and solder them in the folds of folds. A shrink tube is put on the place of soldering and heated it. Wirings are soldered to the outer edge of the LED tape, isolate them and install the ribbon in the right place.

Neon lamps

Neon lamps should be installed in places where the risk of their mechanical damage is reduced to zero. For example, for backlight open space. The following tools and materials will be needed for mounting:

• neon lamps;
• aluminum corner;
• capron Clamps for fastening;
• saws.

If the lamp has a connector for connecting to the cigarette lighter, it is cut and cleaned with contacts. From the aluminum corner, a piece is scolded, which in length coincides with the lamp. The corner is screwed to the torpedo, neon lamps are fixed to it with a clamp. In the same way, the lamps are fixed under the glove compartment and under the rear seats. Wiring is hiding under the car's trim and stretch to the torpedo.

Connecting backlight

There are different options for connecting the backlight. Most often for this purpose, the cigarette lighter or light of the cabin is used.

If the backlight is connected to the cigarette lighter, then "+" is connected to the "+" cigarette lighter, and "-" - to any place of the car body. To connect the backlight to the lighting of the cabin, you will need to remove the ceiling and connect "+" to the white wire, and "-" - to the red. For the effect of smooth power on and off, the dimmer is further connected to the system.

As for neon backlight, it is powered through a specially installed transformer from the battery. You need to attach the switch to the battery, and then put the fuse on the entire backlight. The maximum distance from the fuse to a positive battery terminal is 45 cm.

The wire is best stretched through the hole in the housing, between the engine or the cabin. So that the sharp edges do not cut the cable, they are neutralized with the help of soft rubber rings of a suitable diameter.

Now the second wire is connected to the corresponding battery terminal. It is either stretched along the same route as the first, or simply connect to the machine body. Then include the system and check its performance.

On this setting the backlight of the car's cabin with their own hands is completed. It does not require any special skills and skills. The main thing is to stock the necessary materials, tools and show a little perseverance and patience.

LED lighting of the salon today is popular more than ever. In the cabin any modern car Many diverse sources of light. At a minimum, there is a central lamp in the cabin, located on the ceiling, as well as the "nastrum" light located in the front of the ceiling, in front of the windshield. In addition, there may be lamps in the car in the car located in cosmetic mirrors, in the illumination of the glove box (glovebar), in the lighting of the trunk, thresholds, leg zones, etc.

For all these lighting devices in 95% of cars, two types of lamps are used:

• basocolized lamps with W5W label (or, on other classifiers, T10)
• sofic lamps with C5W / C10W marking (or, on other classifiers, Festoon - Feston)

The remaining 5% fall on the lamps with the T4W marking principle of which the same as for the W5W lamps.

But even in two, the most common types of lamps are not wonderful, since more than 20 models of each type are presented in our directory of the LED autolapm. Let's try to figure out which models lED lamps Suitable for the salon for your car.

Type of soccer

Select LED lamps for lighting car interior is not difficult. On the main page of our store, select the brand and model of your car, after which you open the "Lighting Salon" subsection. If you did not find your car in the catalog, or the "Lighting Salon" subsection for the car model you are interested in is not filled, then you will choose the LED lamps for the lighting of the cabin independently will be difficult.

The most reliable way to find out the type of lamps used in the lamps of your car is to open the plaffones and extract regular lamps. If you see that the whole glass lamp with a flat base near a centimeter with a metal mustache, then you are in front of you a w5w radiant lamp:

The power of this small incandescent lamp is 5 watts, and its light stream is approximately 50 lumens (data on the characteristics of incandescent lamps are taken from OSRAM car lamp catalog). To replace this in all parameters of the outdated incandescent lamp, you can choose a modern, brighter and efficient LED lamp in the section.

If you see a lamp with two metal cones at the ends, then in front of you sofite (it is a two-ceal) lamp.

This lamp is important to measure the distance between the extreme points of the caps. If the lamp length does not exceed 37 mm, this is a lamp with C5W marking, the power of such an incandescent lamp is 5 watts, and its light flux is approximately 45 liters. If the lamp length is more than 37 mm, then this is a C10W lamp, its power is 10 watts, and the light stream is about 100 lm. On our site the length of the C5W lamps is indicated by the last number in the name of the LED lamp. That is, for example, the F-4S50F31 lamp has a length of 31 mm, and the F-6S50F42 lamp has a length of 42 mm. Select the lamps of this type in the section.

If the lamp is a glass housing with a cylindrical metal base, then this is a T4W lamp:

The power of such a 4 watt lamp, the light stream is about 35 lm, it is possible to choose a replacement in the section.

Space inside the lamp

After the desired type of lamps is defined, it is necessary to inspect the luminaire of the cabin. When choosing sophistic LED Lamps C5W Pay attention to the lamp length, as well as on the space inside the luminaire of the cabin. If the places around the regular lamp a little, such as in this case:

it makes sense to choose a narrow lamp.

If the place is enough and the larger LED lamp will quite fit in the lamp of the salon or trunk, then you can put wider and much brighter lamps.

Large LED lamps provide uniform light throughout the lamp area Good illumination of the entire scatterer area, that is, they solve a familiar to all the problem of the "light point".

The lamp that is installed w5W Begotolic LED Lampmay be different shape and size. The first thing to pay attention to is the location of the lamp inside the lamp. If the lamp inside the ceiling is located parallel to the plane of the diffuser, i.e. Simply put, sideways, like in these photos:

It is better to stay on LED side luminescence lamps, for example:

In this case, the entire light flux of the lamp will be directed to the desired side, and not illuminate the walls of the lamp of the cabin of the cabin, as in this photo ...

In addition, it is important to evaluate the space inside the lamp and, if possible, select the larger LED lamp for the best illumination of the entire diffuser. A good example of selecting bright LED lamps for interior lighting:

In the case when the lamp in the lamp is perpendicular to the surface of the diffuser, and the places inside it is very limited, as, for example, in this lamp of the cabin:

And if there is plenty of space in the lamp of the cabin, then the choice of choice appears: put small LED lamps more or less standard sizeAs shown above, or put larger, slightly unusual LED lamps like such:

having high brightness and giving a magnificent effect of bright, scattered light.

Brightness and color of the lamp

In addition to the external form and the size of the LED lamp, it is necessary to take into account its purpose, that is, wherever the LED lamp will be installed and that it should light.

The lamps of the "nasturn" light are designed to read in the cabin, for example, roadmap. So, the light in them should be enough to read, but at the same time, the light should not be excessive in order not to make her eyes. To read it is better to choose white or naturally white color of the glow. The optimal indicator of the light flux in this case is 100-150 lm.

The central lamp of the salon creates overall lighting inside the car. It is logical to put a white LED lamp with a maximum indicator of the light flux so that dark corners remain in the cabin. But if you are not an amateur classic solutions, you can put colored LED lamps, for example or and make yourself in the salon blue, red, green or even pink light, which looks very unusual.

Light in cosmetic mirrors located in sunscreen visors should not be too bright, because while using a mirror lamp will shine directly into the eyes. Comfortable light stream in this case 25-70 lm. In this case, the lamps should be well covered face, which means the light should be pure white.

Illumination of the head zone, glove box and trunk should be so that no trifle is lost in the depths of the car. Here you can not bother and put on these, usually small lamps, the most bright LED lamps:

A bright light of such LED lamps will be especially useful when searching for a fallen phone or lipstick in a glove.

LED backlighting doors or thresholds Performs two important functions. First, illuminates the space in front of you when you leave the car, and secondly, indicates in the dark open doorBy making it more noticeable for other participants in the movement. In the lamps located in the door, you can install LED lamps of any color and brightness, your taste.

Ready lamp sets

As you can see, with the independent selection of LED lamps in the salon, it is necessary to take into account the many nuances. If you do not want to beat your head with indicators of the light flux, lamps and configurations of lamps, then stop your choice on one of the more than 100 we have ready-made sets of LED lamps made specifically for a specific car model.

Lamps in such a set just repeat inner space The lamps of the salon and the trunk of this car are equal as much as possible with the light of the lamps, and also have light brightness regulators and a lifelong warranty! Select a set to illuminate the cabin of your car in the section.

According to pDD requirementsAny changes in the configuration of the external lighting devices of the car are a direct impairment and entail penalties or administrative sanctions (P 3.1). However, the additional lighting of the cabin with the rules is not directly prohibited, which makes it possible to decorate the car, improve comfort, give the opportunity to consider the map or without tension to read the text in the guidebook. The most popular type of lamps are LED -LAPs, durable and non-discharge battery even with long use. There are several options for mounting backlight in the cabin, which should be considered more.

Default in the ceiling plates of most passenger cars W5W halogen lamps. To increase the brightness of the glow, LED lamps are usually made. RGB panels appeared on the market, allowing you to change the color of the backlight using the control panel. Installation of such panels is easy - it is necessary to do the following operations:

• remove a transparent cap from the slap;
• remove the stock halogen lamp from the nest;
• insert a special adapter with a plug instead;
• attach the LED panel;
• attach the panel to the bottom of the ceiling with two-way tape;
• close the plander.

Interesting!An option with the RGB panel is convenient because no soldering or other connection is required, all the work is to disassemble and assembling the plafoons themselves. The cost of the kit is small, and the decorative effect is very expressive and varied - some models can create 12 color options and brightness.

Highlighting legs in the car

The illumination of the lower tier of the car interior was first produced only on premium cars. However, quite soon, this option began to be used on simpler models, and some motorists began to set the foot illumination with their own hands. There are special sets that simplify the installation of this type of light design to a minimum. They are a set of 4 lamps and control panel. For nutrition, a plug from the cigarette lighter is used, and the fixation of the elements is performed using pieces of two-way tape. The wires are stacked under the edges of the floor mats so that no one accidentally tear them away. There are less complex kits consisting only of lamps of a simpler design, without a remote. They give a smaller effect, but cost much cheaper. Of the most complex models, you can select kits with the ability to control via a Wi-Fi module.

Contour lighting machine

The contour illumination is one of the most expensive options when buying a new car. Lighting of this type pursues exclusively decorative effect. The appearance of the front panel, dashboard and other elements of the cabin, highlighted along the ribs and plane transitions, is very attractive, it advantageously emphasizes the interior decoration. Luminous lines divide the salon on the zones, separate areas dashboard, door trim, speed switching unit and other departments.

There are sets that can be installed in the car of any brand. They are produced in the countries of Southeast Asia, so the price of them is available to any car owner. The standard set consists of the following components:

• powerful LED;
• power Driver;
• connecting wires kit;
• lightwater.

The LED is inserted into the end of the fiber, which is stacked in the interface of the dashboard panels or other elements of the cabin cladding. Drivers are powered by overall lights. The installation of a special complexity does not represent. In addition, you can choose the most preferred color of the LEDs, all of them are about 10 options. The cost of the kit depends on the length of the fiber (2-5 m), the presence of a wireless console and other design features. Anyway, independent tuning It will cost several times cheaper than a regular option that the car is equipped at the factory.

Illuminated instrument panel

The dashboard is equipped with backlight, but for lovers to install additional light elements in the car salon, this is not enough. The owners increase the brightness of the backlight, change the color of each instrument, make the area of \u200b\u200bthe speedometer in the zone of large values \u200b\u200bof red, etc. This issue has a large scope for fantasy, especially since the installation of the lamps is no problem. It is only necessary to purchase a set of 40 multi-colored LED lamps that have the same base, like stock bulbs. From the user you only need to replace the "native" devices to diode lamps, picking up the color for each element to your taste. The procedure is extremely simple and does not require the use of the soldering iron or other tools. It is only necessary to check the performance of the LEDs before installing.

The light in the cabin at night is the same thing as, for example, air conditioning in roast and cold time. Standard light, as a rule, lacks for high-quality interior lighting. It is often necessary to find something, see the map, etc. Yes, and it is not very convenient to go in full darkness. That is why many car owners think about setting the backlight in the cabin in addition to standard lighting. In addition, the installation of additional lighting of the cabin is also a way to highlight your car from hundreds of thousands of others, give it a unique, original style. However, you often do not really want to pay for in the workshop. In addition, the installation is quite simple, and for the owner of the car there will be an extra reason to boast of the hand-made tuning.

The backlight in the car's cabin is not only convenient in the dark time, but also stylish

Backlight options

Previously, neon lighting was used for tuning car. It is quite bright, so that from one even the lamp illuminates a rather big space. However, neon is quite expensive, it is very afraid of mechanical damage, often burns out when turning on-off, moreover, more complicated in the installation.

IN last years LED backlight acquires more and more popularity. She has a lot of advantages over the previous option. It is quite simple in the installation, small sizes. This makes it possible to make the backlight of the handles of the cabin, the steering wheel, cigarette lighter and other small elements. In addition, it is less afraid of any mechanical damage, less often burns out. In addition, with the help of LEDs, various light effects can be achieved: from the smooth power on the light in the cabin until the ability to periodically change the color when using RGB LEDs.

And the other option is possible individually. Although it is possible to make an integrated option, part of the salon to highlight neon, part of LEDs.

Where better to install?

Standard additional light in the car's cabin is considered a place under a torpedo and glove compartment, auto, doors, door handles. Although, in principle, you can highlight anything, everything depends on your imagination here. For tuning door handles, ignition lock and other small elements are most often used single diodes, and to highlight the rest of the rest, it is more convenient to use diode tapes.

Preparation for installation

Before switching to the installation, you need to purchase everything you need. If you are going to tuning small details, then you will need single diodes. To create a backlight, instrument panels, etc. You can take a LED tape on the Metrap.

Before buying a tape, you must decide for yourself where you will set lighting, make measurements, and only then calculate the required amount of material. If you decide to buy LED ribbons on the Method, then you will additionally need to buy wires (3-5 meters), a heat shrinking tube or at least a conventional isolate, glue and dimmer. There are on sale and ready-made ribbons for tuning salon with soldered around the edges for connecting. Then torture with measurements, soldering the wires and isolate not yet. Here you just need to fix the finished ribbon in the right place and connect to the power.

Installation on small details

For tuning small parts, it is more convenient to use single diodes.

We prepare a diode to install and connect. We take a diode, we solder the resistor to one of his legs, then we solder the wires and are insulated with open wiring with ordinary tape. Somewhere at a distance of about 20 cm you need to make a terminal connection. So, the LEDs are ready for installation. Next prepare the place of installation. Consider, for example, how the illumination of the cabin handles is installed. For this, and near the handle in the place where you want to install a diode, make holes. They should be small that the diode entered him tight. You can additionally fasten it with glue. Next, stretch the wiring under the trim in the cabin, so that it can be connected later. In the same way, single diodes are installed anywhere in the salon.

Installation of a diode tape

The backlight of the car's cabin with their own hands the LED ribbon is also quite simple. Determine the installation site, make the necessary measurements, cut off a piece of the desired length from the tape. Please note that you can only cut out where there are marked spaces for soldering. They are visible on the tape. And even, it is better to cut off a slightly smaller piece than the opposite, otherwise there may be a sagging and a tape badly entrenched. After everything is cut to the edges of the ribbon solder wiring. Check the performance of diodes by connecting them to power, and then installation can be installed. If you have a LED tape with a sticky edge, then you will remove the protective film and glue everything in the right place. If not, here you need glue. Thus, it is possible to establish lighting only on straight sections.

If you need to highlight sections with bends, then everything is done a little differently. After all, the tape is even at an angle of 90 degrees undesirable. Then, for starters, also do measurements, cut off the pieces of the desired length, clean the edges and solder them in the folds of folds. After that, the place of the soldering is insulating with a shrink tube (for this you wear it on the desired area and heated). To the edges, through which the LED tape will be connected to the power, solder wiring, insulating and then install everything in the right place.

Installation of combined backlight

For those who greatly like the neon glow, you can make a complex version of lighting. For example, it is possible to use neon lamps to highlight the feet of the driver and passengers instead of LEDs. There is less risk of their mechanical damage.

For installation, you will need: neon lamps, self-tapping screws, kapron clamps for fastening, aluminum corner.

Often, many neon lamps have a connector to connect to the cigarette lighter. He will not need it. Cutting it and clean the contacts. Next, take the aluminum corner and disconse the piece of the same length as the lamp. Corner screw in torpedo, neon with clamps. Do the same under the glove compartment and below rear seatsTo illuminate the space under the feet of passengers.

All wiring must be hidden and stretched to the torpedo.

Connecting backlight

Connection options may be several. Most often, LED lighting is connected to the cigarette lighter or to the light of the cabin.

To connect to the lighting of the cabin, you will need to remove the ceiling and connect the wires: the white is connected plus to red - minus. If the connection is performed through the cigarette lighter, then for this it will be necessary to connect to the plus of the cigarette lighter, and minus to any place of the car body.

If you need to make the effect of smooth ignition and disconnect the LEDs, the dimmer must be connected.

Neon backlight connects a little differently. As a rule, it is powered by the battery through a specially installed transformer.

conclusions

Thus, the installation of the interior backlight does not require special knowledge and skills. In order to do everything, you will need quite a bit: materials, tools and a bit of patience.
