ok, i wanna put some BLUE Leds under the dash by my feet and passanger feet... i kinda wanna do it on my own, radioshak is going out of business leds are 70% off... if you have any suggestions let me know...



also HIDs... u think i should go for them? they worth it?

 

As for the HID's, my friend just got some and they are NIIIIIICE... But for my car, I opted for the angel eyes, which in my mind are worth it more so than the HID's (which the HID's come at a higher price I believe too) but I'll install those and see how it goes. Apparently the angel eyes I'm getting use two bulbs opposed to one, and I'm getting hyper-white bulbs or hyper-blue whichever, to replace the stock bulbs. They aren't quite as bright as the HID's, but they're good enough for me (and I have the dual angel eyes going on too!) but that's just me, I like a balance of brightness and looks and price. The HID's are sweet too though... Although they range up to $600...yikes...I would want to punch someone if that even got scratched!

And for the LED's, I say go for it! It shouldn't be too hard to do, and it would provide you with a nice little something to do. I don't know how evenly the light will disperse, so I would try to get an acrylic clear rod from a curtain (you can probably find one at the hardware store if not somewhere else) and cut out a slot in each end to place an LED light so that they're facing into the rod. Just mount that under the dash and wire them up. I think that should give off a pretty nice glow, and if not, then put another two in the center facing each end of the rod. I would wire them up to a switch too because you probably don't want to have them on whenever your car or lights are on. (cops could get mad too!)

 

i have the Led pods that a are soppsed to go under your car under my seats..sooooo brite, oh ya and dont forget a fuse also..probably a 0.5a should work for leds, thats what mine recommend..and thats for 32 leds!

..HID, i want them..but for the price,and how much i drive at night (never) it wouldent be worth it for me

 

do you have any links to help try this... im kinda new to all of this so i might need help with some... i am really good with computers.. but cars.. not so good yet.. what gave me the idea was i made a program to controll up to 24 Leds off my parallel port on my comp and i saw ur pic with ur leds and i think it looks tight.. just let me know if u got any suggestions on anything and how to hook it up...


(not too good with electricity)

 

ok..its kinda hard to explane it because i was showen how to do it..but i made a little diagram, l.e.d positive wire goes to a switch, the poitive wire from the switch goes to a fuse holder with a .5Amp fuse, then when the wire comes out the the fuse holder hook it up to a 12V source like the battery, but you can splice it into any 12v like your dimmer for your lights..the black wire for your l.e.ds is ground, hook it up to a piece of metel..the wire that you want to buy can be like 16gauge, dosent matter..any skinny wire will work...hope this helps, its a little confusing if your new to it
