for anyone doing this, when you cut the fibres do it at a 45 degree angle and do the opposite for the next one, that way the brightness changes and it looks more elegant and like stars instead of cheap lights. Thats how rolls royce does it.

[@YT_nano367]

Hey what have you been able to find out?

[@S4von]

any news?:D

[@austinduff8833]

I’ll chime in. The light definitely has a lifespan but the little unit can be ordered on its own from china. Should be a model number on it. So as long as you installed the fibers correct and used a good adhesive you should be mint.

[@TheDeadZed]

Hey also a good tip, drill from the inside of the liner out instead, it will help prevent the hole blowouts you ended up getting

[@catalinandrei9467]

Tips if u want to try and do this: 1. Split the optic fibres into groups of 20 30. It s ok to untie them from both ends, u will be able to restore the shape for the light source end after u finish to drill and glue all the fibres. It will be much easier this way, than working with all of them at once. 2. If you change the material on the roof, do not use fabric. Use leather, alcantara, suede whatevere u want, but not fabric. It will cling when you indert the fibres and most probably damage the material, and will also be harder to insert the fibres. 3. Let only 10 20 cm of fibre on the downwards side of the roof, before u glue them, so u have as long fibre as possible when u install it. On my car for example, i cannot install the light source on the roof, i had to put it in the trunk, so i need quite long fibres. Good luck and have fun!

If you are worried about rattling you can probably glue the components to the metal roof instead of the headliner, it depends on the headliner if there is enough room I say just take it off and measure before you put it in to make sure you have the space

For instance, since it’s very low power, if you were doing what I do, I sometimes I go cross-country to see my sister and I will sleep in the car at a truckstop or something like that that would make a wonderful nightlight.

Hi..amazing job u did!!! But question please, why don’t u cut the wires that falling down from the roof before u install it back again? Why u cut it after u install it? It will be much easier to cut it, then it ready for install easy.. or I’m missing something here?

[@grootygroot6351]

How did you get some to look brighter or like a bigger star? Did you just double up the fiber optic line? Or were some of the lines bigger than the others?

[@waterbottleproductions2107]

Im pretty sure its with the lights, some of the light things are brighter than the others as a part of the design of how the stars will light

Oh I just thought it was the angle due to the slight curve in the headliner so some were pointing towards the camera? Or yeah a feature

Good job man! Looks great. If you ever decide you want the extra cigarette lighter (12v port) you could always wire it to an ignition wire. There’s almost always an ignition wire or “remote turn on” wire, easily accessible, near the radio! Your car is beautiful :)

[@soliniv1411]

I would really like to know if the fiber cables or any cables from the installation rattle after installation when you are driving? That is the only fear stopping me from installing them

You can always tape the fibre optics down to the top side of the headliner

[@kathyfann]

I’ve never seen anybody do this it looks like it would be so cool

[@Cheeky_Goose]

It looks good, but I don't know if this will last long in the heat. The car is black, so it absorbs more heat. Hot glue melts at around 250 F and cars don't reach half that temperature, but I think hot glue starts to break down over time especially in the heat. Either way though, it's pretty cool!

[@montyslush]

he didnt hardwire it because itd be on even if the key wasnt in ac or start. it would still be getting power after hes left the car, just plugging it into the cig lighter is no different than a charger or bluetooth receiver. it turns off when the key isnt inserted. remote changes colors and when he wants it to be on or off when car is running, still useful to have it.

[@montyslush]

dont mean to mansplain it but your battery stays on for at least 10 mins after u close the door, security and other features keep going while ur away in the down time. if the volts kept finding a way to the lights then itd just keep going until the battery drained or would be a vamp draw over time.
