Good job boarder! (edit: boarder was changed from "skiboarder"
)
To add to this, if you want to evenly spread out the light coming from the LED's, consider using a diffuser for them. I put some of these LED's in my car as "neons" and to diffuse the beam, I took a small piece of aquarium tubing 1/4" diameter i believe and 3/4" long and filled it with hot glue (which is a little cloudy when it dries, we want this). What this does is it dims the direct straight-outward beam and refelects some light sideways (snell's law of physics if you are wondering) just like a lightbulb. I planned on using these the change the gauge cluster bulbs to LED's but never got to it....you can also experiment with other stuff. I have thought about using those clear plastic BIC pens (hexagonal shape), but once again, haven't had too much time for experimenting. If you use the pens, you would probably have to scuff the sides with very course sandpaper to more evenly distribute the light. Goodluck! and PM me if you have any questions...
