I found 4 blue leds laying around and was bored so I put them in all 4 vents check em out

youll get tired of them after awhile...

just out of curiosity, how did you put them in? just squeeze them betten the two halfs? or drill holes?

They are not the cigg. lighter powered lights...I took off the whole panel and double tape the leds on all 4 vents (driver side, two middle, and passenger ) its all wired from the back to the fuse for the headlights so when you turn on your headlights to drive at night it goes on with the indiglo. Got them for 8 bucks, cheap mod

led can't stand the heat. I think they will fried after a while.

heating is nothing compared to teh heat htey get from a soldering gun, theyll be fine.

Looks good, but I think after a while you'll get tired of them. I have 2 in my center console and now I an't stand 'em.

very ricey, but im going to disagree with eveyrone.. looks good

this coming from an anti rice person too... from the pics all looks ok, as long as they arent super bright or anything...matches the rest of ya car.

I have them on mine....not necessarily rice...but you get tired of them...that and th fact I did mine on all 4 vents and it is semi blinding

You should make it on a seperate switch so they are not always on. Not to mention if I cop sees it, atleast in FL, you get in trouble for that.

Although I like it.

i agree... having them on a separate toggle switch is the way to go. kinda funky mod.

dont flame the poor guy... he's just trying to personalize his cam the way he wants it. he clearly has the knowledge to do it... so he can undo it if he decides he doesnt like it. to each his own.

^^^what a shameless plug...

and about the heat, sure LEDs can stand a sodering gun b/c the heat is only on the wires not the LED. LEDs are quite heat sensitive, and on another lighting forum (w/a LED forum), many ppl did the same thing and many expierenced dead LEDs from the heat; but since u know how to kinda quickly undo it u shouldn't worry that much, esp. since summer is here!
