More Leds
This time, a-la clutch style.
Had nothing to do this weekend, so I decided to add this little mod. I've wanted to for a while, so.... it was that time.
btw... this took WAY longer than I expected it to.

nope. its just 3 leds. 2 red 1 blue. epoxied into the front of the panel about 3" down from the top.
spliced into my leads to the vents (up in the front) and wha-la. done.
but it took an unnecessarily long time to do. fishing the line took FOREVER

I can imagine, couldn't you have just taken the panels off? instead of fishing through..

no, i mean fishing the line from the center of the backseats, up to the center console...
I didn't want to remove all that, so I fished. And it sucked.

when i'm bored and have the time. School has been brutally busy lately. I had a weekend to myself (between exams) so yeah... just kinda started doing something.
I have another idea in the works, but I gotta figure out how to do it first.

those holders are going to KILL your glow. its way to directional with those.
..and that much heat shrink... (just the quantity is funny... it looks like you did a good job with it)
it looks clean, but i can almost guarantee your going to have issues sometime. I hope you don't... but I can almost guarantee you will. |
