E30 Swag: M3 l MTech II HardTop l 318i

[M Kube]

Nothing like a family of E30s getting together to wrench on a Saturday night, each E30 modded to our own liking. After several meetings, the idea of the modern footwell lamps as well as lit door handles came about.. here's what we ended up with. A couple of crappy shots until we can get a real photographer to come out to shoot the trio. Pm Alpinem325 or I if interested in the lightwork we have to offer. C&C welcome!

I think he went to a tuner car show and got inspired xD Now he is offering to do it for others? Kinda backwards...I did those "mods" when I was 15. Brings back memories of audio comps and my massive subwoofer setup.

Nice M3, the footing lights are awesome, I did red in my e30 abbot 4 years ago and had more in my hatchback civic 8 years ago. They are great for when you drop something on the ground. I plan on some light blue in my current e30.

For the foot lighting all you have to do is wire up a pair of these:

To the cigarette lighter and a switch in the middle:

For the door lighting use a small LED and drill a hole a TINY bit bigger than the LED. Then wire a switch in the middle of the LED and a power source.

When I did all my wiring I ran a 10ga wire direct from the battery to power all of the lights. Get a volt meter and zip ties and go to town! You will want a constant power source if you want to power up the car when it is turned off. Just poke around with the car off(red or red/green wires) once you find a 12.** source tap in and ground it out(brown). But if I were you run a wire back from the battery to power it on it's own.

With the cigarette lighter wiring you will run into light fluttering and VERY dim if you extend too far away. It is too much to power two on one little source. Another reason to go for the 10ga wire from the battery.
