DanM's Westfield Miata

[DanM]

Another fun little project was the courtesy light. I wanted to conceal it in my 12v socket surround so I bought flat wire LEDs that could lay under the carpets and behind the plastic cover.

 

After installing the seat back carpet I cut the socket holes and ran the cables.

 

Then I put the socket surround in the vise and drilled a small hole for the LED to shine through.

 

Done!

 

After testing it had a nice mellow glow, I like it a lot, but think I may need another one on the top or on the sides to get a bit more coverage.

I have low ceilings so I needed something low(ish) to fit without too much garage door modification.  In the end I had to remove the door motor and chain rail, but I'm OK with that.  I cant raise it all the way, but its definitely high enough to get really good access underneath my family cars.  The Westfield is on there temporarily while I fix the oil leak (Yes, its still there).  It needs a long shallow ramp otherwise the exhaust and oil sump interfere (ask me how I know! lol)
