Led
 

I wanna put leds in the space under my spoiler, 2 on each side to go with the turn signals and 2 or 3 in middle to go with brakes. And suggestions comments or other ideas will help.

i think there were a few guys working on something similar (but with cathodes)

i'm almost positive its quite do-able. you just need to remove the spoiler and be careful when drilling mounting holes.

Yesterday i took the spoiler off to get a better idea of what to do And it was a pain in the ass to get off the nuts came off easy but the factory glue is very strong it took a while but I finally got it.

Just do it. It would look pretty sick if it was done right. Especially if you wanna add amber leds for turns like you were telling me.

Ya im ordering the leds tommorow, bizarre how long did it talke you to get your leds from ebay

Less than a week.

sweet i just ordered 100 red w/resistors 4000mcd i think you said yours were 16000 maybe but they should work good cause ill use about 55 to 60 of them. I also ordered 50 blue 5000mcd $9.98 for red 4.99 for blue free shipping and resistors

mock mount them and light them up, before you go ahead and drill holes. you might realize that, that many... will be ridiculously bright.

ya that is a good idea i havenever messed with leds so i dont know how bright they will be how many you think ishould use

your estimates seem realistic, if you sand the tips down flat (for more light spread) but just getting the spacing correct, so you don't have "hot spots" will be hard.

ya i didnt think about that thanks so what pattern you think would be best to prevent hot spots?

Here is ta pic of the leds under the spoiler. I put four red leds on each side of the spoiler and hooked them up to the turn signals.There kind of hard to see in the pic but they light up nice at night.




Her is some of the interior lighting,behind handels,in door pockets,in where the seatbelt comes out

i'm liking the seatbelt one. very unique. (might have to do that one later)

the lock one looks kinda goofy (door lock switch) and it looks like you didn't sand the tips on the ones in the door cubby... tsk tsk.

man if I knew the first thing on LED's, my car would be covered in them lol

think i'll stick to under the hood mods-

no they are all sanded it is just because it was during the day when the pics were taken i like the seatbelt one theon most also but i also like the door lock one today i put three under the dash on the driver side and I will do the passanger side and the cup holder probably friday, i was wondering where should i put the led to light up the back seat?

they are very simple, it was harder to get the door panal off then wiring all the leds

cherrigton did you see my third brake light i also got that finished, It is a pain to put leds in there though,thats why i decided to only go with one row. I like it though

hmm.. well when I get some spare time for the LED's i'll look you up :p

alright

if they are sanded, why are there two definite "hotspots" under your door handle??? mine are sanded, and definitely don't project like that.

and i did see the 3rd brake light, there just weren't decent enough pics for me to really comment. right now, it just looks like your basic led brake light.
