    Default DIY ambient lighting – 24-11-2015,11:29 AM
    I am always a fan of ambient lighting, unfortunately my car is not factory fitted. So I decided to add one myself. I bought a 3 meter 12V powered EL wire from amazon, connect it to headlight fuse. Pretty simple work, not bad result.

    Looks well although is it not very distracting brightwise compared to the OEM offering?

    I quite like it, reminds me of the camaro we had in the states. I'm with Chris on the brightness though, it needs to be dimmed imho.

    Nice job. How does it look in the daylight and do you have a link to what you bought?

    It looks very normal in the day, you don't really notice it's light up in daylight, this is what I bought.
