Default My new LED Cupholders and finally wired halos.

Well, I did a LED cupholder mod this weekend, since I had nothing better to do with my weekend. I used two prewired LED superflux 4-chip LEDs. It ran me $10 shipped for two, which wasn't bad for the little mod I was going to do. While I was at it, I wired up my halos to my switch too, since i've been lazy and i'm never in the mood to do wiring.

Anyways, heres the results:

you want any more red superflux leds
i got like 12 of them prewired... 25bucks shipped....

i used them for my old tinted taillights so they do have alittle glue on the back of the bulb case. just hot glue so you can just pick it off very easily! its not sticky at all.

Sfazngiants: Yeah, they are orange lol. I really wanna do the vents now, because that would be pretty cool, but a real pain in the *** to do.

A2B: If they were orange, i'd take 'em lol. Ahh.. I was going to use krazy glue to keep my cupholder lights down, but.. I didn't need to, they sat in there pretty snug.

well before using any tuff glue... go buy yourself a hot glue gun and some glue sticks! i swear i use my glue gun for all kinds of projects! lighting, some dash work, tuck wires out of the way and keep them from falling down... and best of all if it does fall down or loose or you decide to change it simply pull it off and redo it! no messy crusty residue! a glue gun is not just for women crafts

^ My guess is maybe you got the polarities mixed up, and thats whats causing it to blow? I did that once when wiring something up and had to learn the hard way lol..

And it was an easy $10 shipped mod. I love it. My friends like it too lol.
