Default For those installing LEDs

Order them from Oznium. I placed my order last Monday, received them today. Great communication (I received emails on every step of the ordering process) and I got an email from Phil at Oznium making sure that my order arrived. I highly recommend them if you're considering doing any work with LEDs.

What LED projects do you have planned? I assume one of them is the Gills? What are you going to mount the LEDs to or In? Lexon?

I just ordered mine yesterday from them. I am going to split my car up into two days. First day mirror, trunk, driver/passenger floors, and doors. Second day the rest. I cant wait.

Nope, the Gills are a little too rice for me. I'm changing the interior lights to blue.

Check this link and this link and this link. EFI-1 & CUlookin's cars have the look I'm striving for. Nothing over the top, just cool at night when I unlock the doors, etc.

I undershot my order. Currently I'm just going to do the mirror and the door panel under-lights. I ordered a few extra LEDs, but in the end I ordered 15 5MM LEDs (without resistors) for the mirror, and 10 3MM LEDs (with resistors) for the door panels. I'm going to order at least an additional 10 more LEDs (with resistors) for the kick panels and the rear hatch lights. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I was very impressed at the quality of the LEDs as well. Dave did a great job on his 01 Pewter. The install for the doors is painless; only took a couple of minutes to fit, cut and solder the LEDs to the resistors and Whola. I have blue in my blue Vette. I am going to order the rest of my LEDs for my Nassau Blue. I can't wait
