Tapping Into R34 Light Circuit?

[Akuma07]

Hey guys,

Just been installing some LEDs in my R34s interior. Have replaced the cluster and AC unit successfully, I now want to install some more customized lighting such as:

• Gear stick surround
  
• Bottom of the door and/or door light
  
• AC air vents
  
• Cigarette lighter
  
• Key ignition
  
• Electric window switch
  

The gear stick surround would need to come on with the rest of the lights, and the door lights would need to come on only when the door is open, so does anyone know how to tap into the light circuit to connect these to? The air vents would have a switch somewhere.

Also, can someone please tell me how to change the bulbs for the cig lighter, key ignition and electric windows?

One annoying thing I have found though, the cluster LEDs are a different kind of Blue to the AC unit..... The perfectionist in me is annoyed.

Thanks for any help guys!

Gear Stick - connect to the stereo wire that makes it dim when the headlights come on

Cig Lighter - kind of twists and pops out, you need a low profile T5

Ignition - Soldered bulb

Electric Window - Soldered bulb

TCS button - soldered bulb, and mechanism is a pain and literally explodes when pulling open (springs and bearings everywhere)

Doors - would need to be wired back to the harness where the feed for the dome light goes back to.

The dash has blue film lining the back of it, the A/C section doesn't causes a variation in colour

Thanks a lot for this! Might have a go this weekend.

I thought only the series 2 had the blue film?

Where can I get the bulbs that I need to solder?

Jaycar or Dicksmith, you'll need a load resistor to suit the Ign and TCS....window is fine

Series 2 has Orange Film

This

You can get a tap into the circuit for doors inside the door jamb pin switch or dome light

That will turn on all leds when open no relay needed , diode yes to stop backfeed or into alarm module

Gtt dont have existing wires for door light

Run wires ! I built a mold to recast in clear ( instead of red )exact replacement door lights ( only gtr has door lights from what I found )

my car has stupid amounts of lighting so pm me if needed
