hey guys i have my leds mapped out for my headlights and **** so that taken care of. 2 in each head and fog green LEDs. what are other plces that are good to mount LEDs on the outside of your car. mind you i also have a pg ub kit thats green.

i was thinking mabye sumthing in the wheelwell, so that when ur wheel spins you see a glow from the inside? it owuld be attached to thr fram of the car.

should i pput them in my back center piece btw my tallights?

in my grill mabye.

i was thinking mabye some blue leds. i saw them on this chevy pickup tonight it was mad ass sick, like all over. he had em in the steup bar to get into th cab and in the front just crazy ass ****.

also, what are these like LED strips that go on your side mirrors? i dunno i saw those they look sick as hell to.


INSIDE THE CAR:

vents? whats a good way to miount them how should i have the tip of the LED facing?

in my dome lights?whats is the voltage comming out from that?

door handles inside, behind guages, behind ac controls, under seat facing front and back, door pockets, glove box, in defrosters (sick stuff when viewed from front... but ALLOT of work), in trunk, in engine compartment, reverse lights...

all car applications are 12v unless it's a new mercedes or benz with the 36v system... but i think all accesories are still 12v anyway.

if you screw something up, it's your problem =P Nobody is going to waranty an item that was destroyed due to incompetance... Get a voltmeter and check to see what the voltage is. If you don't know how to use a voltmeter, you probably shouldn't be wiring this stuff up without a friend who does know how to use that kind of stuff.. And to put half of those lights in, you will have to tear your dash apart and disconnect cables here and there. If you forget to plug something back in, it can be a problem...

All in all, if you don't know what you are doing, it's probably best to have someone else do it, or don't do it at all...

i was asking becaise i wasnt sure if it was a 12 volt bulb in there. i was think mabye a transformer to step the power up if it were a more powerful light.

LEDs are so much fun to play with. in tech we gotta build tug of war cars outta wood and then use this huge motors. im using phils green leds four of em for my headlights. its gonna look like ahummer when im done. when its finished i get some pics up muahahahah its going to a be a sexy machine
