Very classy Montaukrubi, what did you use exactly to get that look?

I like the look of this, and want to do it to my Jeep. Has anyone tried splicing into the driving lights so the LEDs turn on and dimmable when those are on? If so, what wire did you splice into? Anyone able to have the doors off yet? If so, any problems with the law?

I know here in Montana. It is legal to have no doors and no mirrors. As long as you have the one rear view mirror. And any lighting you do to the inside of your vehicle is legal no matter what. So with the doors off and top off your still legal even if running interior lights. I don't know about any where else tho. Sorry

Thanks for the complements. I used pods of 6 leds under the dashes and under each back seat and a 6 led strip under the a/c controls. All are connected to the wireharness that runs under the shifter area. Not sure which wires as I had my dealer leave me with pigtails an I took it from there. If you really need those wire colors I'll reach up there and take a peek. They dim with the dash lights and DO NOT need the overhead on to work.

i put a blue led strip above where my fan controls are and the glare at night was pretty bad. i installed two little lights in the corners and that works like a charm
