hey do you think you could post anebay link with the leds and resistors please? i looked but wasnt sure which ones to get.

[cherrington17]

1977, check http://opamp-electronics.com/ for resistors and www.oznium.com for LEDs

oznium will explain everything you need to know, then if you want a TON of them (like 100 or more) just search ebay for the color, size and quantity

[lovefrom1977]

alright thanks for the help!

[Silentalero]

yea btw i still have about 100 leds layin around and a good 10 more cathodes cherry lol

btw oznium gives ya the resistors with it

[lovefrom1977]

does anyone know how to hook the wiring up for interior ones. Like does anyone want to tell me in detail because i dont know alot about that.

Good write up Rob I think I might head to Homedepot and invest in this stuff since I have the leds, soldier gun, and soldier. Hmmmm seems easy but very boring. Thanks Chris too! And expect a phone call when I start to do this.

1977, i have 5 distrobution blocks running off the power and ground, that supplies the cubby light, for the center console. and another 2, one for always on power, the other for a constant ground.

the cubby light distros are all switchable for color (red/blue) and turns on when it gets dark enough.

simply cut those wires, rerun them to a distro, then run wires back to that light (or to the leds you put in its place.)

lol you have NO idea.

btw a little update.

my lights in my wheel well, they ALL still work and this is driving through all kinds of crazy shit over the past couple of months, heavy puddles, slush, rain, snow GALORE!! and yup, they all still good, i just wash them off by taking her to the car wash and hit them directly and they dont seem to bother them

hey cherry, thanx for contributing your pics buddy!!! those helped big time and im sure they will help just as much for the next person
