EL Lighted Seats

[DrunkMonk]

Anyone ever thought about putting EL lighted strip around the top hole on in the seat? Most likely in red - that turns on when you turn on the parking light. Im thinking it would add a nice effect to the car, and wont make it look "ricey".. anyone ever tried this? I bought the light already, waiting for it to ship, i'll post pics once installed.

I'll wait for some pics before I pass final judgement

I generally won't put any lights anywhere, besides the dashboard area. I think it will look ugly.

Hmmm....I'm interested in seeing how this looks....

Keep us updated. ;)

I test fitted the EL light today in the seat... maan you guys are gonna sh*t bricks when you see this effect. The wire is completely concealed behind the plastic and completly invisible both day and night, but at night (when I was test fitting) there is a soft red glow coming out of the hole in the seat, noticable.. but barely, to the point where people who have never been inside the EP will think its stock.. I will post day and night pictures once I complete all the wiring..

Cool. I really want to see the effect as I've already changed my whole dash/console/gage cluster to Red LED's.

Nice! I wanna see these pics! I can't really tell what all you are talkin about, so I wanna see how bringht this glow is... What kinda lights did you use?

..doing the install right now, i got the lights from Ebay , but you can get them from like advance or pepboys, they just cost more... this is a real pain in the ass install.. I reccomend buying two of those things..

finished, its not night yet, so I dont know how it looks, but let me tell you, whoever designed those seats absolutly did not want those plastic things in the middle of the seat comin out. i wired it to the remote wire of the stero for now, until i can find the illumination relay. i will post pics later on tonight
