I've seen it mentioned, and seen DIY Guides but what actually is the W8 Domelight mod?

And does anyone have any pics?

I think the only advantage of having it is that it has 2 red LEDs that shine on the gear knob - could be wrong!?!

Yeah it does look cool. Was one of the first mods i did to my car. Kinda scary when u start to cut the headlining though.

ModifiedMadness, Could have showed u at Inters last week.

I'll have a peek at the next one you're down for. I think that'll be E38

As requested.

Getting quite handy with the camera, finally worked out how to take close ups without them coming out blurry.

macro mode

nice pics m8, see you have the nokia carkit too - ive got the same one, but put mike on the A pillar on drivers side, bit like an alarm sensor

any chance of a pic of them working at night? do all the functions work (the buttons for reading light etc..) ? and is the wiring a plug in job or need to modify?

cheers

Yeah will try and get a pic of it at nite all lit up. All the functions work, and the red led's shine down onto the gear lever and handbrake.

It was a long time ago that i fitted it, so it's hard to remember how it's fitted, i know you buy a special plug with it and you need to run a wire up to it from the headlight switch(it's what i used anyway) for the feed to power the led's when you switch your lights on.

BTW this is where i put my controller for the Nokia kit.
