My 1.7CDTI - jdkm01 - 27:th-Apr-2017

Manged to get a few simple mods done to my astra over the past few week so thought id upload them, also looking at painting the calipers and adding a pedal box soon. Mods so far include, changing interior lights to LED, rear windows tinted and sun strip added, and Heko wind deflectors

I'm imagining it looks really nice... well done mate!

Sounds nice mate. Thinking of pedal box myself. How easy/ hard is it to change/add some nice lighting inside? My Mrs and I have a 65 plate sri and I've just bought a ltd edition gtc and I don't have the red light round the gear stick. A small thing but I miss the nice little touch it adds. Any ideas? Thanks.

The lights in the roof are easy to change just take the cover off and plug in the new ones, takes seconds.

The footwell lights ive got are hocked up the courtesy lights, so they come on when the door is open and fade out when out close it, there was a guide in the how to section on the forum that i followed, i wired it through the roof light and down the A pillar as i didnt trust myself cutting into the main loom.

As for the red light around the gear stick im not sure, someone on here has a progession thread where they changed the colour, have a look  through the threads ill see if i can find it as well, may be worth dropping them a message see how its connect and if its possible to wire one in.

Finally got the file size small enough to upload.

Image number one was not long after i got the car, number two has the rear windows tinted and Heko Wind deflectors added

Foot well lights connected up to the courtesy lights.
