You have the power to control when these come on! Kit is completely wired with just 2 electrical connections to make near the battery. No wires or switches to mount inside the car. Approx install time is 1 hr. This mod turns heads and really gets your vette noticed! Available colors are red ,blue, white, yellow, green, amber or orange.

Order here: http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...4&productId=28

Footwell:




Footwell led floodlights; Change out those weak factory bulbs to these very bright floodlight leds. Plugs directly into the factory housing but you can mount them anywhere you like. Comes with adhesive backing but there are many mounting options. These are the brightest and most effective leds I have found so you will not be dissappointed! Kit comes complete with instructions and leds for both footwells.Colors available are red,blue,green,white,orange.

Order here: http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...4&productId=29


Led door reflector kit swap:




Led door reflector kits; Send me your good door reflectors to be converted to a 9 led reflector kit. Intructions for sending the unit will be provided after sale. Kit comes complete with wiring harness to wire into the footwell lights so they come on when the doors are opened or the interior lights come on. Wiring harness also has extra connections for optional "puddle" led strips on the bottom of the door. Reflectors only work with red but the puddle lights can be any color. Door panel and courtesy light panel removal required for wiring. Complete instructions included. Covers both doors.

Order here: http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...4&productId=30
Can I order just the puddle lights? If so where do they tap into the power? I have the panels off right now for my speaker replacement. Not sure if I want to disrupt the big flexible conduit that leads into the car so hopefully the power wires are in the door.
Let me know

Hey Steve, Happy New Year!
When I pulled power for mine I used the footwell circuit and pulled a line thru the door boot.
Basically just spiced to a 194 pigtail adapter plugged into the footwell light socket instead of the incandescent bulb, simple.
I also added a connection for the door reflector LED mod while I was inside the door.
HTH

Thanks for the input. How hard was it to pull the wire through the boot?

piece of cake.
I think you can touch your fingers through there, passenger side maybe,
or use solid core wire to fish it through...

I did the same thing... Run decent gauge stranded wire like 16 guauge through the accordian so you can tap that circuit for any other lighting mods in Doors for the future.

Make life a little easier on yourself and get a 194 adaptor that has a pigtail on it. It plugs into the socket for the OEM footwell bulb and has wires coming out of it that you can easily terminate to. I wired my Door Reflectors, Outer Door Handles and Footwell LED strips to them... Next will be the Puddle Lights once I get off my lazy **** and get around to ordering the strips...

If you order our door reflector swap we include PNP connectors so you don't have to do all of that tapping.

Thanks JW!

Bradda T,

I haven't gotten past this test fit stage.
I over-ground the first one I did,
I'm waiting on another set in order to have a few extras to mess with.
Getting the depth correct is a challenge, without a table router.


I have an extra Halo taillamp that I'm using to test fit to.
I was thinking of designing a spacer/adapter held by the mount screws, so I could swap back and forth...


...but I've been busy with another project.

edit* I think they'll look great when I get them done T! Thanks for everything!!

Hey not a bad idea about the adaptor plate with a EPDM seal!!!!!! Let's do it!

Seriously... I haven't fallen in love with my clears but everyone else who sees em loves em... So if I can swap back and furth I'd be happier!

Tim
