**Video Clips**Custom Courtesy Door Lighting & Turn Sign

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know, I've been working on my car for the past 4
weeks now and have not driven it since this past Mother's Day weekend.

Finally, my two projects are completed and I'm very happy with the outcome.

The first thing to be completed was custom courtesy door LED lighting
in the door panel. This can be operated by the door trigger or a switch.

The second thing to be completed was custom LED turn signal in the side
view mirror housing. This has been one headache project for me because it was one of the first items on my wish list. I've spent an extensive amount of time and money on this project and I'm very happy with the results. I decided to go with white leds, instead of amber. This is more safety oriented for the night time. I'm sure amber would be more visible during the day. However, I chose white because of my car color.

I'm planning on offering the turn signal in the sideview mirror at some point, but still working out all the details. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I'm sure I can do this to any car/side view mirror. I just have to take a look at the actual mirror housing.

I greatly appreciate everyone's comments and feedbacks.

One last thing, I'd to give props to my good friend Luc for a very descriptive and informative relay and switch info.

DocJohn, for assistance with the courtesy door triggering.

Also, Kenny (indiglosolara) for electrical diagrams set up for my distribution block as well.

Thanks you guys.

Enjoy,
Michael

P.S. Please disregard the date stamp, I changed the battery and forgot to adjust it.

Hey there Mike! I hope things are coming together for you and your family. Keep strong and stay focused on what's important in life. Keep in touch with friends as we are always here for ya. It was a blast hanging out together in Chicago. I'll be headed past Lex in the Z at the end of May '09 for a Z gathering at the Dragon. I may stop by on the way.
