Since I already did a vent HOW TO, i'll just add these pics, for a sort of photo version. The method still applies, i just cleaned it up some.(and am using 3mm leds, instead of 5mm)
Back of the vent. The white is epoxy from where the old ones were mounted. I dremeled it some just so it was flat. I also filled that old hole in with epoxy. (hence the tape underneath it, that you'll see later)
6 Small holes for the led Leads...
Leds in place, and epoxied. (mounting kinda is self explanatory)
Wiring, after the fact. Common grounds make life simple. Then just a power wires for the 2 reds and single blue.
Vent Before Lighting (can barely see the leds in there)
After. Its got a nice subtle glow now. Before, it was kinda bright, espicially when it was really dark at night. So I wanted to go a little more dim.
and the ever popular tyedye shots. (both red and blue on) Hopefully, it'll never look like this, but incase anyone is interested... here ya go.
and ion, my dad has multiple fishtanks, so he got a camera with a good macrozoom. that thing takes AWESOME close shots. (and i personally hate when people post blurry ones)
