[StreetFX] BRIGHT Boot/Trunk LED light upgrade & DIY step by step guide (GT and GTS)
 

Hey guys,

STREETFX is a Brisbane based Australian company, we own our own 86 GTS and we really wanted to put some white LED upgrades in to make the car look even cleaner inside and out :)

As such, we did up a DIY guide for this conversion, and we can supply ft86club members full kits for $15 shipped Australia wide via registered post.


BOOT/TRUNK LED UPGRADE (SUPER BRIGHT! not the normal Dull 5 LED like other sellers!)

Give your boot some decent lighting!

Time required: Should take around 5 minutes or so.


To purchase the Upgrade kits, please email streetfxxx@gmail.com, titled 'FT86CLUB BOOT LED UPGRADE' and we will provide further information.


Our kits have full Australian Warranties, and we installed them on a local vehicle to verify 100% compatibility. Should anything go wrong with your units, we will exchange straight away, no need to be shipping back overseas.


Disclaimer: THIS INFORMATION IS PURELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! Street FX takes NO RESPONSIBILITY for any damage or potential damage this alteration may cause. We have tested this to the best of our ability, and it is a VERY straight forward procedure, so we expect no troubles. But if you do something silly and scratch your car in the process, don't blame us!

Tools & Equipment required:

* 1x Street FX Multidirectional 9 SMD LED Upgrade board (steer clear of cheap china leds, they flicker and 2-3 of the 5 LEDs will mostly fail within months)
* 1x T10 bulb adapter (comes included in our kit, with short flylead)
* 1x Small section double sided mounting tape (included in the kit)

Procedure:

1) Pop the boot/trunk (interesting side note - the GT model doesnt have a boot release switch on the bootlid like the GTS does!)

2) The boot interior light is off to the left of the boot space along the top, locate it and squeeze the edges of the plastic housing and give it a tug, it should be fairly easy to dislodge.

3) Using the T10 adapter (while it is connected to the led board) just push the terminal in until the LED board lights up. If it doesnt, then switch the connector 180 degrees (LEDs are polarised)

4) Now, we want the led board to sit inside the housing at a diagonal angle so it throws the most light where it is useful. Test fit the LED board inside the housing making sure the housing is up the correct way. It might take a bit of fiddling to work out what I mean here, but once you angle it right, you will see what we mean.

5) The LED boards are around 2mm too long to fit into the housing in their entirety, so we need to help the lens housing stay in place (it ALMOST clips into its factory spot but NOT QUITE), so we use the bit of supplied double sided tape to hold the housing in place (only fit this after you have done the above step to get a feel for how the LED board sits in the housing diagonally)

6) Locate the LED board diagonally back into the housing, slide the housing back into its factory location, and then once it's as close to being back in it's spot, just push the housing upwards so the double sided tape holds on..
