Here. Custom made.
What is the "bump" for?

Changed the Honda letters in the engine cover with the Pilot´s tailgate.

I was hoping you'd see my post and reply, so I bumped the thread.

Installed Modulo pedals. Look very cool indeed!

Installed LED door sills with a small twist. In my car, the four of them do not light at the same time when a door is opened but each lights independently when the correspondent door is opened and all the circuit can be turned on-off with a switch.

can we see where you mounted the on/off switch?

if anything i'm surprised you didnt work it into that ground switching you used for On door close with those bussman fuses :P

AlienPrime guessed it right. I used the same circuit done for the courtesy lights. Here´s the switch location.

 

[Amomicivic]

In Pauly´s installation, all what he needs to do to turn on-off the lights, is to run the hot wire from the tap to a switch and from there, to the sills instead of just tap the sills directly to the blue wire.

Like a boss! Love your installations! Cant wait to see more!

 

[Amomicivic]

Just for the record, I installed the sills in series with the door llights (each door is a separate series circuit). Another way is to do it all in parallel. Check the diagrams for reference.



Update: changed to parallel circuit because it is a much better solution !!!

 

[AlienPrime]

nice! i like that! Very well done

Got tired of the poor interior light at night. Run a wire from the pink wire of the center interior light (dome) and with a male-female connectors, soldered a wire to the map lights, in order to both of them light at the same time that the dome light. As a bonus, all of them turn off when the doors are left open for a while. The map light still work as before.


Doors opened

Doors just closed



Also, tinted windows (3M CS-50). They really look great (not too dark)!

Good idea to have all the lights go on.

Good idea to have all the lights go on.

And cheaper that the $70 that costs a good quality set of LED lights. Just a piece of wire, a wire tap, male-female connectors, some soldering and foam tape.

Got the OEM Auto Day/Night Mirror w/Compass as a Father´s day gift. It´s amazing how it works. It takes about an hour for the complete the straightforward installation.
