Lighted Console Box!

Post a pic please

 

Yeah, this does sound interesting! We need a little better description of the Home Depot Flashlight, maybe a name and a part number or Hom eDepot number, just where did you mount this in the box?
Thanks

 

I like to see if this idea would work in that godawful nether region under the console bridge!:mad2:

 

i got one at an electronics store with a 3" gooseneck and spring clamp. i would also like to know how and where you mounted it so i can try to mount this one. thanks!

 

I took a more difficult route for an OEM look. Mine has a hidden switch that brings on the lamp when the lid is opened. It was a major project though involving finding an "aways hot" lead behind the dash. The console lamp works whether the car is on or not.

I also lit up the main cup holder and low bridge console with green LEDs. A very handy mod.

 

I did that by mounting a low power blue LED under the bridge. Looks and works great.

 

On the next list. Did you post details for this?

 

I think the details were in the original thread I posted over a year ago. I'll do some searching to see if I can find it. Here it is:

Referring to me? If so, no I didn't write that up. Simply disassembled the bridge from above, drilled and mounted the LED (from radioshack) and tied it into the dimming trigger wire of the HU. I will post a pic.

 

Thanks to both. Question was to Spiderman, but I take info from all parties before deciding. My original thought was to add the same lamp assy used in the overhead for shifter illumination, and tie it into the same circuit. That way it is only on with headlights (night) and same equipment. Toyota lamp assy probably cost to much though, so cheaper LED likely best with similar intensity.

 

Attached is a really quick write up on my under console light. Sorry for the thread highjack.
