    Bump this bitch. I was in an e39 today and the mood light is pretty badass. Anyone done this since.

        I've been experimenting with lighting in my car and this is what I have.

        When I was a delivery driver, I hated that I could never find my pen in front of the ash tray. This was my solution. It's a bulb and connector like the one you would find in the ash tray, spliced into the other lights. I soldered in a small resistor to make it a little bit dimmer.



        I had a similar problem finding things in my floor boards, these out of an E34 solved that. They turn on and dim with the overhead lights when I open the doors. ;)

              This place has all kinds of LED's for cheap:

              12V LED lights designed in-house: waterproof bolts, flexible strips, switches and dimmers for cars, boats, home and custom OEM builds. Fast US shipping.


              If you want to put lights in the foot wells, go with cold cathodes. They sell them in a set of two, pretty much made for this application. Only $8 too.
