New Back Seat Lighting Mod.

Ok. So.. I finally put real diamond plate in the back (Thanks for cutting it Gabe!) and bBTed helped me put in 12" Varad LEDs on the far right and left sides. The wires are pretty well hidden now with zip ties. The new diamond plate catches the light much better. Anyway... here are the pics.

Peace,

Looks good. So is that 1 under each seat and then 1 to the left and right on the ground? Can you see the neons at night from outside the car with the windows up, like if you were driving by not looking down? I want something really bright.

It really looks very impressive and the setup on the flooring is NICE! I'm pretty sure that your thinking of something already! Great Job to Mr. Gabe and Mr. Ted. Sorry could not help out. I got this thing called a new "JOB"! Well you know what I mean.

I saw that on Sunday, and like LV said "It looks like a disco in there..." You know you're doing right then :D seriously thought it did look really good, and if you need LEDs soldered you know you have John, but I've done a good amount of some miniature LEDs for cell phones. Either way, all hands on deck... openDeck? anyway, everyone have a great and safe Thanksgiving.. No driving in a triptosan induced coma

Looks fantastic. All you need now back there is a bar.

How much power do those things draw? Any issues with the battery?

No doubt! Too bad I don't drink!!

The cool thing about LEDs is that they draw very little current. There's no problem with the battery. The LEDs I have against the bottom of the door frames are hyper (really bright!) LEDs from a company called Varad. They make some really cool stuff.

I also have some power neon cable from them that I plan on putting in at some point. http://www.varad.com

Check 'em out!

Peace,
