    got bored at work today and tried a couple things

    first off, i took apart my heater controls because most of the lights didnt work, which by the sounds of things is pretty standard on these got it all apart and decided hey, ive got all these millions of blue leds in a bucket, why not?

    then just for giggles, cut out some bumper. not sure i like it though, but its fine, i wont be driving this car much longer anyway. kinda hard to see, but i cut out the horizontal bars in the bumper opening.

    Re: got bored at work today and tried a couple things

    when i started visiting this site i read the how tos for about 3 days its all in there. i used compustar alarm leds. took a little drilling in the holder, but it didnt take long. i did it in about and hour and a half, but i didnt have a nice dainty little soldering pencil, i had my best friend the weller 260 watt big boy soldering gun lol. also, look at how the leds are in there stock, there will be a flat side that will need to be the same way. or, ill make another one to sell you!!! LOL

    Search n00b! ^ its in the how toos


    theres a picture step by (bu) step in the how toos
