I didn't like having a blank tab next to the dimmer controls or anywhere else on the car for that matter. I don't know if it has a purpose in other cars but in mine it was nothing... until now. I put in a second security light with a 5mm bright white LED from the group deal. Now the security light can be seen from the driver and passenger sides. They blink in unison which also looks nice and I moved both lights to the outermost positions to give them the best visibility possible.

 

i have a switch for my microvision in my blank slot, would look very stock if I didn't have a bright-*** blue LED in it, but i like it

 

Interesting idea. But it says security two times

 

thats the traction control system button on my car

 

Yeah, but I don't mind. I like how it looks and it's better than just a blank tab.

Besides, all you see through the tint is the LED's which was the main point, to give it a purpose.

 

hey igobuk i replaced my stock red led with a blue one, my ques is: is it ok to solder the led on the 2 contacts that hold the LED in the security light tab?

 

The stock LED has a tiny resistor inside of the rubber base it's mounted to. I pulled off the rubber base, resistor and stock LED and soldered on a normal resistor and LED directly onto the terminals left behind.

I also measured and made sure the LED was all the way up against the face so that it's as bright as possible. My replacement LED sits high off of the base compared to the stock one. I did both security lights like this.

Also I didn't have a harness for the second security light, so I soldered wires directly onto those terminals too and then spliced it into the stock security light wiring.

Absolutely no problems.

 

I guess us Auto 99s only understand that.

 

id like to have the I30 remote gas door switch.

 

I have an LED there that lights up when my MEVI opens
