Interior Speaker Lights

01vortec · 11-02-2009, 01:34 AM

Iv seen some pretty crazy door panels on some trucks. I eventually will, but for now I saw these lights on ebay for $5 a peice. they are two feet long, and YES you need every inch to go around the outside of a 6.5" speaker in the door panel. I also decided to go with some air vent lights. This is what I came up with. Let me know what you think!

This is the tool I used to remove the window crank for manual windows. Its basically locking pliers, kind of like medical pliers, anyone can pick them up at a tool store.

The light is glued onto the metal mount of the speaker, ITS NOT TOUCHING THE RUBBER PART OF THE SPEAKER

Just a sneak peak using a 9volt battery.

I started taking the dash appart, getting ready for the air vent lights.

Passenger side apart for speaker lights, and passenger side vent light.

Iv heard people have a hard time getting this vent out, I just pulled on it with a little bit of force ad it popped right out. I asked a chevy s10 specialist and he said that they are supposed to pop out, they wont break unless you try to pry them out, DONT DO THAT

Lights off

Lights on
