Backlight salon and tuning by yourself

Most car owners want to make their pet an individual and stylish. One of the elements that are most often modified by beginning tuners is the interior lighting. Well-designed lighting can create a real cosiness in the cabin. You are completely free to choose the shade that you most like. LED interior lighting can be bold red, and can be more soothing (blue, green).

The implementation of the improvement is due to the use of LEDs. Illumination of the cabin looks great, if instead of LEDs apply, for example, LED tape. Thanks to this decision, your car in the dark will be of extraordinary interest to others. The original interior lighting will be an excellent decoration for both a domestic car and a prestigious foreign car.

The places of installation of additional light sources are quite diverse. Most often, the tuners prefer to do lighting the legs, as well as the instrument panel. Illumination of the cabin with their own hands is done very carefully and painstakingly. For a start, you can replace all standard backlight lamps with colored LEDs. For reasons of ethics, the color scheme of the dashboard, buttons and footlights should be the same. But this is not the rule, especially for people who like to show imagination.

At your disposal there may be LEDs of a variety of colors, sizes, and brightness. If the color you are free to choose yourself, then about the size and brightness there is excellent advice. The interior lighting should be organized with as small and bright LEDs as possible. A clear advantage of LED lamps is low power consumption, vibration resistance and a rare burnout. There is one "but"! Often, for their installation, it is required to drill small holes in the plastic of the cabin, which not everyone likes.

A wonderful alternative are LED strips. It is best to use moisture-proof tape that is covered with silicone. Note that this coating protects against accidental mechanical damage.

Consider a minimal set of backlight elements that you will need to purchase in advance. You will need LEDs or LED strip, wire (better 3-5 m), power button, electrical tape and a set for soldering. To achieve a more effective result, you can buy a special module that will allow you to adjust the brightness of the glow, control the program if your LEDs have a different color, and you can buy a remote control backlight.

The installation should be carried out in accordance with the following main points. The LED strip should be cut strictly in a certain place, and the ends of the conductor should be soldered to the positive and negative terminals. After that, remove the protective layer from the tape and glue it to the bottom of the front panel. It is best to find a place that will hide the existence of your refinement, but the light will spread unhindered. The last step is to connect the button to turn on the backlight and lay the wiring under the lining or rugs.
