Pajero Mod 1.0

Monday evening, when got in my car going back home, I suddenly got the itch to modify the car a lil.

It is annoying that there is no USB port at least for charging:

So I decided to add USB port for charging, and while I'm at it, but some blue LEDs :)

I first removed the passenger drawer

and got access to all the wire-mess inside, yay!

Air Bag!!

anyway, I started with the LED for door,

the LED is super bright and is rated for 80mA, the supply is 12v

R = V/I = 12/0.08 = 150 ohm

I soldered 150 ohm directly to the LED and tried to make the assembly in similar form-factor as the original bulb, the result:

amazing, now to my USB charger, the circuit is like:

and I added hot glue to make sure no short circuit happens

Then fixed the LED to place:

awesome!

and the USB:

now I can charge my phone :)
