I was really surprised with how clean this turned out. I didn't expect it to look so good honestly. Would be really cool to see a way to make it not take up the cigarette lighter though for sure.
Cut the cigarette lighter plug off add an inline fuse and wire it to the cables at the back of the cars cigarette lighter, it would be discreet you still have full use of the cars cigarette lighter port and no more big red light blinding you.
Yeah the cigarette lighter power is the one thing that would stop me. I prefer a clean no cable look in my cars. I've ran loads of lights before and always had the switches integrated seamlessly, sometimes out of sight. I concur with anti cigarette lighter man, that's what I'd do too.
@@smiles564 you don't want to do this as the lights will only turn on when the ignition is on. you should wire it into the "welcome illumination" fuse with an 'add-a-fuse' tap - no messy wires and no need to cut existing wiring, plus it turns on with the door and off when you close it.
Nice movie, indeed a pity of the cigarette plug. Like the red button though, cuz ejector seats, cuz 👍🏽 But I would probably connect it to the dome light. Just for entering and leaving the car. The footwell lights on during driving would be a bit to much distracting for me, I think.. Looking forward to the next modification. Maybe the SmartFlasher from Mx5things. Looks like a must have for the annoying missing tap turn feature on the NC. Can’t believe Mazda also left that feature out of the game. Keep up the nice movies 👍🏽
Looks great after installation! Thanks for the full review of your Vont Smart Car Light Strip! We appreciate your feedback and rest assured that we'll look into your suggestion.🙏🏻💙
I installed some Mazda 'Welcome illumination' the we get here in Australia for other models, it only illuminates blue and tied it into the centre dome light. kinda the same thing but different.
I installed two light strips in the footwells of my NC. I couldn't believe that there was no lighting there from the factory. I spliced the wires into the wiring that operates the dome light when the driver's door is opened. I see no need to have lights in the footwells on when driving.
