Interior lights add a nice feeling to this 120y. Which lead me to the idea of having 2 lights illuminate the front leg spaces when the lights of the car are on. So I bought 2 12v LEDs Coloured blue to fix them under the steering wheel and cabin.
I discovered a wire that supplies +12v when the lights of the vehicle are on from the wiring harness using a multi-meter and wired it into the 2 lights and they were earthed to the vehicle body at necessary areas. The lights had double sticky tape so they were convenient to place.
A hood light was missing when I bought the car so I purchased a hood light from a local parts store which had LED s and fitted right into the original slots where the nail was supposed to go. A wire carrying +12V was already there so it was just a matter of fixing the wire with + terminal but since the light was a bit oval in shape so it didn’t cover the original hood light space. Light was very bright.
I marked the nails slots on a paper to construct a drawing of what could cover the original hood light space.
The hood light was aligned with nail marks on the paper and the outline was drawn. A circle was drawn centering the hood light and a hole to take the wires out was also marked and the drawn circle was traced on a single DVD box with front shine finish.
The marked circle was taken out by smoothly cutting the circle with a sharp tool for a good finish. I used the divider and turned it until the material along the circumference was removed. It was easy and gave a smooth finish. After cutting the circle the light was aligned and its nail slots and wire positions were marked on the back of the circular plastic piece. Then a hole was cut off for the wires from the marked spot.
A rubber beading was taken from an old grinder basket and was cut to the necessary length and it was stapled from the ends and the staple was drawn over by a black permanent marker to make it invisible. Then paper pins were inserted from the inside of the beading to hold it on the circular plastic base.
