I was bored today so I found a good DIY to make some Illuminated Cup Holders.
It took about 5 hours, but that was because I was watching TV

Before I post the Pics here is the DIY that I followed
http://www.hooliganbiketech.net/spor...up_holders.htm
Its a great DIY.
The only difference with mine was that I needed a 270 ohm Resistor as I was using 2 blue LEDs and not 2 green ones.
And here are the pictures, Pictures were taken by phone, and it was very dark out. Enjoy

They are sitting very flush, I used LED holders, and sanded the LED to sit flush with the holder.

I'm interested in these two things. I didn't know you could sand an LED.
