You have a serious lighting addiction @Deaky. You need to get yourself to LED Anonymous.

Damm Deaky.... looks like your vans is providing the tunes and disco lights at events this year. Truely impressive, kudos

@Deaky - I think your van is superb and a bit of an inspiration to a wannabe, pretender like myself. I’m taking inspiration from your side panels and lighting. Great work bud.

I fitted a lighting module from an Audi A3 two small red LED's that sit above roof, drill two holes, line it up, stick 12v on it

and no i didnt make the best job of drilling the holes

Sorry to hijack the thread but @Pauly where did you take your feed from - is there a feed in the roof or do you have to pick one up down in the dash somewhere?

 

[Pauly]

I used button illumination feed from dash so comes on with headlights

Yes water was coming under the canvas at the back. VanDoc had it in for a couple of days and sorted it.

Looking awesome @Deaky . Can I ask where you got the recessed LEDs that are in the pop top surround? (The ones that you fitted into the trim pieces and screwed through )

 

[Deaky]

@xpfloyd here mate Recessed Aluminium LED Lighting Channel Kit

@xpfloyd here mate Recessed Aluminium LED Lighting Channel Kit

Thanks mate, I feel like I’ve asked you that before but couldn’t find the post.

 

[Olly T6]

Wow! I wish I was good with electrics! I love some leds in the door cards! Just don’t even have a clue where to start!

Finally got around to sorting out the lights up top in the roof. The Hilo came fitted with a couple of touch led's. Only problem is when the roof is up and you're lying in bed you can't reach them to switch them off.

The roof lining is a piece of ply that is screwed to wooden blocks fitted on the inside of the roof. It took a while to find all the screws hidden in the carpet but I finally got it off.




I'm going to keep the recessed theme going and fit some led strips, same as is already fitted in the sides of the roof. Rather than messing about trying to fill in the original holes I've opted to stick a shaped piece of ply over the old holes and fit the aluminium channels into that.



All carpeted and ready to re fit.

Time and effort = a great result..
When is the conversions repair shop opening?
