I've installed two sets of lighting into my 2005 Monte LT. I put two led strips under the front dash, and some EL trim on one part of the dash, and around the top of the steering wheel column.



My camera isn't the best quality at night, but does this make my car look "ricey", classy, neither, etc.?

Just curious, thanks.

I think the led's along the dash are actually pretty awesome! I'm curious to see what the installation looks like during the day. Like can you see the LED strips? And welcome to the forum

 

I think it looks neat

 

I like it, it doesn't look ricey, but it also doesn't look classy. If I had to say what it looked like, I would say custom or one off. Which I'm sure that is what you were going for.

 

Hi `Garrett & Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family...

We would love to see more picture's (night & day)...I like creative `mod's, but what matters most is that you like `it ?

How did you do it ? What is the estimate cost ? Tell us about your Monte Carlo >>?

What type of films do you produce ?

We look forward to your future posts/pictures & contributions to the MCF... Explore the MCF & EnJoy...

 

I like it. It is very much like my wife's 2012 Buick Lacrosse interior lighting

 

It looks okay in the dark, but probably looks out of place in daylight. I don't care for it, but if you like it though that's all that matters.

 

I want to see the day time pic .So far i think it looks good

 

Same here, want to see in daylight, pretty neat tho.

 

Sorry for taking so long to reply guys, been a little busy, haha.

Anyway, here is what the top light strip looks like during the day.



here is what the footwells look like during the day, both on and off.







To your questions, I installed it all myself, took a couple of days. They are running off the battery through the fuse box. I have them grounded to some metal under the front seats. I tucked the wires into the trim both along the bottom of the door and behind the console/dash.

I also installed some toggle switches so I can turn them on or off. All of the supplies probably cost me around $45-50. Believe it or not the light trim was far more expensive than the underglow, haha.
