You'll have to wait and see. Hopefully I get the rest of them tomorrow, so I can start work on it this weekend.

Not going in the headlights. Although something similar may happen in the future.

yutzybrian 10-28-2011 04:46 PM

Interior lighting? (sorry I like guessing lol)

I love LED lights. They always look so cool. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Well, I was hoping to get a start on it the weekend, but I'm still waiting for 4 more strips to come. I might get a start on it, so I'll have everything there to hook them in when they come..

I hate waiting for my stuff to come in. But for some reason it's worse waiting for your stuff to get to you.

2k2cse 10-28-2011 11:47 PM

Tell me about it. I've been waiting about a month. I was hoping to get the rest of it today, or at least the led's I have ordered for a friends' car, but they didn't show up.

It took me about 3 hours and a whole lot of headaches to get the one strip in the windshield and the wiring all set out. I have an illuminated switch, but I broke one of the tabs for the light :mad:

I still have 2 60cm strips yet to find homes, and 4 more 30cm strips somewhere between Hong Kong and here :D

That's bright!

I think putting it in the windshield was a good choice, even though you said it gave you some problems.

purplexj 11-01-2011 08:25 PM

I cant see what you did. There are some bright lights in my eyes !

The problems were actually mostly in getting the wires straight. Once I actually got that figured out, running the wire was a piece of cake. haha

They are really bright. They're brighter than my map lights, so having them on a switch works great for that extra bit of visibility inside. I ended up doing 80% of this after dark, so I cut a couple corners that I'll fix tomorrow.

Them damn lights. haha.

did you stick them to the windshield? if so good luck in the winter, the condensation that comes and goes will eventually make the 3m not work anymore.

2k2cse 11-03-2011 05:56 PM

Yeah, thats where they are. I was in a rush. lol If they come off, i'll just stick them on a better spot.

eltatertoto 11-03-2011 08:07 PM
