thats funny, since i've started on glow since youre advice on flexstrips in another post. i'm gonna eventually use them on my UB, dome light was super easy and the flexstrips will bend to fit nicely. i used a 9.5 crammed in there and a 4.7 would have been fine. i like the blue much better than the boring white plus everything else will be/is blue. i'll work on pics.

haha got my rear LEDs wired and mounted under the front seats tonight. major questoin/problem though. i took the front seats out and unhooked the seatbelt connection things, and now the SRS light in the cluster stays on. i doulbe checked the connections when i connected them back up and they are all good. is this a big problem?

ya just unhook the battery for awhile to reset the codes...........

and i know the flex strips will bend very tight turns ;)

for my map light i just have a green 9led bulb replacement bulb piece.... goes decently... i have only one tho in my front map lights, and my dome light light is a replacement white 9leds bulbs.... i got the white ones free cause when i ordered some blue and green ones for my truck and friends truck they screwed up and sent a white instead of blue one. and they said i could keep the white one and they sent me the right blue one.LOL
i just had to bent the contacts out and angled some to fit the larger bulb units.LMFAO

just a suggestion but i'd think about unhooking the battery then disconnecting your connections, and then try it again? if you just unhooked the battery while still leaving the connections the same, then i don't think it'd change after you hooked up the battery again...I'm not 100% sure though so maybe someone could help me out or something

Yea....... I actually went a different route, I took a set of THESE tail light bulbs that I had lying around (switched to better towers), took them out of their holders, soldered um together side by side and then soldered them to my dome light, they are freaking bright....
