Outstanding job!. Thank you very much for sharing your experience with the rest of the world 🗺. I wish you great fortune.

[@nate86diy43]

appreciate it mate.

[@normanmanio7050]

I was able to keep the wire from inside the interior going out on the rubber trim outside the door, that would make it more neat and wires not running over the door rubber edges, but it's very hard to do it. took me few hours because it's hard to lurk inside Mazda 3 trimmings.

[@nate86diy43]

Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can make.a video on that.. ;)

[@khalilambo7623]

that trick with the wire is maaad sick ngl

[@nate86diy43]

I am not really sure why your trunk light is not working considering changing it to a new one. Do you have a light tester?

[@FREEFIRE-jm4jt]

the current converter beeps pls help

[@Nuru611]

How did you connect the power cables to a power source???

[@nate86diy43]

i tapped to the Ignition fuse.

[@jimbobby629]

If you have a light in your glove box you can tap into that wire for it.

[@cloroxlysolbleachwhipes8658]

do you have An updated link, id like to buy. or do you have kit recommened from amazon?

[@nate86diy43]

Hi there. I think the seller might taken down, however you could search in Amazon and/or Aliexpress "RGB Ambient Car lighting".

[@tylerdavidson3446]

So it looks like you tapped into the ignition fuse box. Any reason why you did this over the interior fuse box?

[@nate86diy43]

I hope this video can help you with your ambient lighting install :)

[@jonnysquirrels]

I seen another guy tap into his headlight fuse and it worked just fine. Which makes more sense to me because the guy said the lights are barely visible during the day so it makes sense for them to turn on around the time your gonna need your headlights. This gentleman’s instal was cleaner. However neither of them went into details about the fuses :( so I’m kinda lost there.

[@nate86diy43]

@@jonnysquirrels thanks for sharing. It is entirely depending of ones preference. as for me, well I liked switched on all the time. There are others that lights on when the door is open, some others as DRLs some mainly for parkLight. So question for you, where do you want yours to be installed? ;)

[@rickyguti]

Why run the wires to the engine bay when theres a fuse box inside?

[@nate86diy43]

Hi Mate, because I wanted the Ambient to light up when the car is running completely. I could tap to one of the fuse box inside but, I would have created a separate switch, which I did not want to. So yeah ;) so tapping onto the ignition fuse is alright with me.

[@rickyguti]

@@nate86diy43 gotcha, I installed a dashcam into one of the fuses on the interior, and it only powers up when the ignition is fully on, thought I could do something similar with the ambient lights. Thanks for the tip!

[@AaronBuckles]

Where did you get all of your orange trim pieces?

[@nate86diy43]

I wrapped them :)

[@GeneralHawx]

Did you use all 6 leds points? I see it says there’s 6 in 1 or did u only connect 3 of them?

[@nate86diy43]

Will be installing the remaining leds to my rear doors. I might video or maybe not.

[@GeneralHawx]

Nate86 DIY would like to see that! keep up the good work! 😀
