Re: 1997 Black GTP, Don't Enter If You Get Butthurt.

what powers them?

For the logo lights, theres a power and ground wire. That's it.

I wanted them to turn on when the door opened and turn off when it closed, so I have the wires tapped into the Door Courtesy Light wires.

It's stupid easy.

Sweet deal, maybe I'll order them up

If your car is 2001 or newer you may not have any door lights. You will have to run the power from the floor lights or some other interior light source. BE SURE TO GROUND TO THE INTERIOR LIGHT GROUND. The switch for them turning on and off is on the ground side. Therefor if you hook up to a solid ground such as steering column your lights will always be on. I found that out the hard way wiring up signals in the mirrors. lol

Not to get technical but if you wanted them to actually shut off or turn on when the door was opened you would need to install a relay to get the job done. Right now they just turn on whenever the interior lights are on and shut off when they shut off. Just wanted to point that out for anyone who would be curious about that.

Oh please.

This way is more complicated.

The way I did it is super simple and if the lights are on when the door is open, that's all I care about.

If you turn on interior lights with the switch the logos should come on too inside the door lol

Yeah, and you can see it even when the door is shut.

Palm, I bought the spoiler pre-painted. So it took longer to ship. Scheduled delivery is tomorrow though will be installed tomorrow as well. Fingers crossed.

Oh, I also spent another $220 on the car. That purchase should be here on Friday.

AND so everyone knows, I have a re-tune scheduled for July 20th done by Ryan Carter. Heading out to Detroit to get re-tuned with Anmar. No more 9.7 AFR. Hopefully the car wont be so dog piss slow anymore.

Not yet.

Im going to get a lot of hate for the purchase, but it's my car and love the looks of them.

I bought CCFL projectors. These are the ones I bought, the only ones I like. I also bought some 6k H1 bulbs to go with it. Ill be purchasing the blue Pilot fog lights next with 6k bulbs to go along with that as well.

For the millionth time, I do not want to retro yet. Eventually? Sure. But just not now.

I'm kind of copying this car, with my own twist to it.

Obviously your Retro's will blow my light output out of the water. It wont even be close. But i'll do it.
