Rep Power: 0

So this weekend, I installed a bunch of LEDs behind my climate control, basically anything that glows orange. Or used to, rather. But I noticed two of them weren't working, the rear defrost and the cruise control indicator. So, I pulled into the car and got to work. It was only broken solder joints, so I fixed them in maybe half an hour. But, lo and behold, I had three LEDs left over. So, of course, I had to find a way to integrate them into the car. I decided to mount them above the petals.

I pulled off both panels down there, the one immedeately forward of the steering column, and the one right above the petals. I scrapped some teensie tiny connectors out of an old CD player, and found some speaker wire in a box. I spliced the positive into the sunroof switch and grounded the other onto the frame with a spade connector. I put a male connector on the other end. I then drilled three holes into the lower, most forward panel, I think maybe 3/32", and hot-glued three LEDs along with their respective resistors. Oh my God you would not believe how fragile these things are.

But, long story short, it looks awesome. I still need to do the passenger side so it's more even, and I may even wire in a switch.

What I want to know is if there is enough interest in this to warrant a full pictorial DIY. I'll put some pics up later once it gets dark.

(Yeah, I know I already posted this in Lighting, but there's a lot higher visibility in this forum, and that's what I'm looking for. Opinions.)
