Hey everyone.
I was wondering where on the car we can put LEDs??
I wanted some especially in my rear lights, around licence plate, inside car...
I want to know the possibilities!
Thanx

Anywhere. Standard 5mm LEDs require a 13/32" mounting hole and usually a sanded tip
Ive seen done: vents, doors, handles, floors, tire wells,seat belt slot, speakers, headlights, license plate, grill, trunk, tail lights, 3rd brake light...
U have plenty of options. Also possible to 2 tone or multi color things

And judging by your signature, you are actually talking about what you see every time you get into your car.

yeah i don't know much about wiring, so i'm afraid to do any LEDs (nor do i know how). also, my car is gold. i love the color red, but i don't know if it would look any good with the ugly gold.

So where do you plug in to get yur electricity???
And For the exterior LEDs, I want to switch the bulb only, so the LEDs need to have the same end piece as the original lights...

I created my own circuit. Fuse tapped the top right fuse on the passanger panel thenran that to a distro block. This provides an active power source that turns on when ur DRLs turn off.(at night).
I don't know what ur talking about with ur headlights. You have to elaborate

www.superbrightleds.com probably has direct replacements.
if not, your going to have to replace the plug.
