I have to get em first!

Hey George, I ended up feeling pretty good after I got off the plane and just took off north on route 15. I crashed at a place I affectionitly called NachoDouches... Ate at Clear Springs, very cool place, if your club goes on a cruise up there stop in for some Onion Rings and Catfish!

Heck maybe I better not post in here!!!! Somebody put superglue on this thing so it sticks this time!

So what's new in LED Modding?????

I finally got around to installing strips in my footwells and a neutral White SMD Strip in my center console lid. In case anyone missed my Thread;

Before with a Superstar in the stock footwell socket and before I got my new Leather;






The center console light isn't as bright as that pic appears to make it...

BTW that's our new Outback XT in the background, so far we like it. I'm getting Headers, Up and Down Pipe and a Cobb Access Port for it... Hey since it has the WRX STi engine in it, why not right?

Tim

Hey Rick!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...-be-light.html

Unfortunatly I didn't do a full blown install Thread, I whipped this up pretty quick but I think there's enough info in the Thread to get it done without any difficulty. The only "Trick" thing I did was removing the guts of the Lid's catch assembly and installing my switch in it, using the hook on the lid to activate it...

Hey Tom! Been busy with fire season already this year. Haven't had a chance to finish all the mods I started this winter, underhood spotlight LEDs included. I'll get to them soon.
Good luck and have fun at the shows this season!

This is just my opinion, but with the popularity of LED's today, they should make this a sticky!

Just my .02!
