LED cup holders

These are Hella surface mount waterproof LED's they are a easy fit in to standard cup holder's. Downside the Hella surface mount LED's are not cheep over $20 each @ West Marine. 6 cup holder's = $120.00 plus tax ouch. Upside they sure make your drinks look cool.

Those would be sick, to bad my boat doesn't have any friggin cup holders. Maybe I can mount it on my girlfriends hand so "my" cupholder will glow too!!

Ed: Your boat is comming along just fine. Clay should be posting some pic's soon. ED you want some blue cup holder lights in your boat. Now's the time. LOL

Another cool thing is. When the lights are on and the cup holders are lit you cant realy tell there is a light in the cup holder. When you drop a drink in the cup holder is when you realy notice. Pretty funny, My bot shold look like a disco by next year. LOL

Grant, you have some of the sweetest gizmos and gadgets, but damn bro you have got to ditch those sunglasses that are on the table.

I would love to see shots of the whole boat, from every little thing that I have seen here and there, and seeing some stuff in the background its fricken amazing. So much detail. Grant I know you probably have shots somewhere but can I see some shots of the whole boat inside and out?

Hey Grant,

I will have to teach you a thing or three?? Now you know why I never leave the COMPOUND

Tell Heidi that she can call me when you are up late playing on WW.

Andreas: Thats funny you posted later then me what are you still doing up on he computer. You should take some of your own advice.

Go get burn!

Yea we can do some orange led's for you, The stainless cup holders wont make a differace it no problem. They dont make the Hella lights in orange but we can retrofit the surface mount LED's to work in your cup holders. How many do you need. Your X-30 has like what? 20 cup holders.

mendo247 10-28-2005, 12:59 PM

that is bad a**!! so i guess ill just have to drink my beer before the led heats it up... actually that could come in handy on those winter days.. keep your drink nice and toasty..

Rich, best thing is LEDs dont give off any heat. No filament!! Cold CERVEZA POR FAVOR!!!

Grant I feel left out... Either you or clayton shoot me an email or holla at me because I have an Idea I think your gonna like. and it does involve cupholders.

(grant_west) · (grant_west) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 10-29-2005, 9:41 AM

Neil I would have used your LED's but the Hella lamps were a easy drop in. Ill use your LED's on Andreas's X-30 He needs Orange LED's. Let me find out how many I need and Ill holla at ya.

Yeah, who would install something hot under a cold drink anyway. Certainly not Grant, the party master himself! LED's = NO HEAT.

so awesome. I was reading about your boat on wakeside, and I have to really agree you. Some people like to go out, session and go home while others preffer to have a great time and spend the day listening to music, rocking out, and feel like they went on vacation! keep up the awesome work, your masterpiece is a big insperation to myself to get my own "party" boat pimped out

Rock on man!

I'm tempted to do the same on my ride but I might wire 10 7000mcd leds into each cup holder.

Sure it'll take longer but cost a whole lot less.

I'm thinking of using reg and green on the sides as they'll act like Nav lights!

Grant - do you just hang out in the garage and watch movies in the boat? Your Boat is better set up than a theater, and the cup holders are made for beer bottles!

Hey Grant...do you happen to know the Hella part no. that you put in the cupholders?

(grant_west) · (grant_west) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 11-18-2005, 9:16 PM

Ill look around for the Part #. BTW I found out I can get these Hella surface mount LED's, In all the colors

Here's a source for a similar light. They definitely are in full on rape mode as far as pricing on this crap goes. In a year or so, I bet these are five bucks.

How are the LED’s wired? Are you wiring them in series or parallel? How many lights can you run in series/parallel before you need to add a relay before the switch?

I’ve added a few over my cupholders and just paralleled into my existing courtesy lights.
