I was bored so decided to give my ignition a halo today as it is a feature i miss from my old rover 200, god knows why they deleted it from later models.
i used the same colour leds that they use for the dash illumination.
some bad pics:






and a quick vid of it turning on

basically just a light around the ignition barrel so you can find it in the dark.

Daft question but what powers it?

Probably the interior lighting circuit...... you can add a couple of bulbs without putting too much of a strain on it

Or the side light circuit i suppose?
