Cupholder LED rings

[jboardman]

I'm thinking about adding some cupholder LED rings to my 09 XLV. I don't store my boat locally so I'm checking if anyone knows the ring diameter required. I think I need the 3.75" diameter rings but I wanted to get some verification before ordering. Thanks!

Wow, I guess nobody knows??? Hasn't anyone installed any LED ring lights on their XLV??

I cut my own but I'm not sure the diameter. I may have a few extras laying around, I'll check and measure for you shortly

JBoardman,

I learned the hard way. You would be amazed at the slight differences between manufacturers for their standard 3.75" cup holder. If you are off a little on the rings ID, the ring will not fit over the strip or it fits loose and rattles around.

I would highly suggest to actually measure the OD of your cup holder's body.

But to answer your question directly, im 99.9999999999999999999% sure you cup holders require a standard 3.75" hole.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I should wait till I get down to my boat and measure to see exactly what I need.

Unless you just want rings,these work great on the inside and are very affordable

I do like the $$$ savings versus the rings. I may go take a look at my buddies MC and see how it looks. He just added the LEDs to the inside. Rings are my preference but I'll see how it looks. These oznium leds look like there pretty bright too.

Heres a vid of my cup holders when I started putting mine in

They look plenty bright. I already have LED's in my speakers. That's why I was leaning toward the rings. Just thought I'd change it up a bit.

Update on my LEDs. Finally got it all finished the way I like. 12 cupholder rings and new 6 speakers with LED's in each. Added a dimmer for the rings. These pics show them at full brightness.
