EmZvr Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Great transformation mate.. Hard to believe it's the same mb3 from first pic .. Can you explain a little how to for the green lights in the instrument panel.. How to do them and which bulbs for each button please.. I think the drls look nice in the first pic.. Look quite subtle actually Yeah, it was a long journey. Now about the lights. The heater panel is lit by two led strips. I don't have pics so I made this in Paint. This is the heater panel with everything disassembled including the buttons. Think it as a 3D object. So one strip goes at the top and the other on the bottom. The led strips are the green lines on the picture. This way the light is evenly distributed. And all the buttons have led with resistor soldered directly on the button board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 What about putting the DRL's into the slits on the front lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 What about putting the DRL's into the slits on the front lip? Forgot about that, thanks for the idea. But my drls are big, would involve a lot of cutting. Also they have to be angled which means brightness will decrease. Anyway I decided to install them because I found a place that I like. A slight variation to the first pic. Will install them by the end of the week and report back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah that's probably the best of a bad situation there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Aaand it's done. I hope I don't bore you to death with all those DRL photos That's the final one, a video of them in action. They actually replace the factory sidelights so that's a double win for me because the sidelights in my headlights were hidden behind the projector and were barely visible. Had to remove the black plastic plate behind the license plate for the DRL to be visible but I actually love the look without one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's not bad mate! I think your test pilot is either very small or camera shy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
