Holiday projects?

Where is the plug located in the car?

I'd want to do this as well to match my theme, but I am not proficient at LED wiring, and the only person I knew on here who did it, doesn't anymore.

Iirc, the plug was under the plastic kick plate on the passenger's side on my '09.

It requires no splicing or wiring knowledge. I am REALLY bad at this stuff and I did it with no help in just a few minutes. The plastic kick plates pop off, you plug in the harness, fish the wire through to the driver's side, plug everything in and pop on the aluminum kick plates.

Chris, kickplates are easy, no wiring needed. It is all prewired so you just run the wires around the car and plug it in. Longest part is getting the old kickplates off really.

My holiday plans:
-Rotors
-Pads
-Lines
-Fluid
-Rear spacers
-Drinking & skiing.

Forgot about that one!

So both the passenger side, and driver's side, plug in together on the passenger side?? That seems odd... and a really annoying way of cable management to get the drivers side ran..?

I just wish there was still someone doing the LED swap to red. Otherwise I'd of already had a set installed..

I acually need to do another set because my girlfriend dinged the hell out of the passenger's side with her heels. They actually dent surprisingly easily :/

Anyway, yeah if I remember right, both plugs were on the passenger side but I could be wrong. It has been a couple years since I've done it.

Fishing the cable isn't too hard - like I said, use a coat hanger and a little bit of electric tape and fish it behind the steeing column.

Yep, the harness plug is on the passenger side.

Yeah those would look sharp. My interior LEDs are all already red and the entire car is red/black.

End links?

Yeah, from what I've heard the AL is suuuuper thin. Just to be there to be there.

Ah. Do you route it through the interior, or under the carpet?

Guess we'll never be able to attend meets together, I'm doing practically the same thing, just at a slower pace.

I want to get my interior LED's to red, but again, no one to do it.

Well I only have off for Christmas and New Year's, but no real mod plans for the holidays. Already installed my sway bars 2 weeks ago. Need to swap out the melted headlight lens once it gets warm again outside. Also gonna pick up some Pilot Super Sports for the spring.

Painting my brake calipers black, and hopefully putting on black Evo-r z logos if Santa brings them for Christmas.

PM'ed - I may want your headers depending on what you had although for some reason I think you may have had LTHs or test pipes in which case oh well.
