Ways of putting LEDS in map pockets and vents

[sorrowfulkiller]

I've been tossing around the idea of putting in some leds in my car for a month or so, I already have underdash neons (which I'll be changing out for $25 neon kit that illuminats the back too) but I wanted to add some some more, like in the center console, in map pockets and in the vents, and also in a cubby hole I have under my head unit.

Justing trying to figure the easiest way to do it... I was thinking of attaching them with epoxy but idk how I would put them in the vents and in the map pockets

Drill a hole, epoxy, basically any way you want.
As long as it holds.. no one is supposed to see the LED so it can be ugly.

there is a how to for the vents and doors..

if its a standard LED... sand the tip flat, and use a 13/64ths drill bit. the led fits through, but not the bigger lip around the base.

Here's how I did my vents on my current car. They are similar enough to the Alero vents (I did it to those also when I had it).

Well I don't have an alero anymore... so either way its alright. I'm just trying to think now how the heck I'm going to do the side vents. Oh well I'll figure something out, I'll have to check out how the dash sits underneath a couple of the vents. Thanks for the help everyone.

Mine are done similar to Cybers. I just encased then in a cube of hot glue... its really not necessary. you can just bend the leds at a right angle and point them out the front, and drill a small hole underneath to run the wires. But i would put a small bead of silicone or hot glue on metal contacts... to prevent moisture/corrosion. (i have 1 on drivers side vent, 2 in each side of the center vent and 2 in the passanger vent) 4 in the pic, cuz i have reds and blues set up... two complete different circuits.

Little trickier, but easy to do... just takes a little time.
