Wow, sweet. How did you do that tho? Did you just literally put LEDs behind the mirror? I wouldn't think that would work, but that's what it looks like you did.

Yours dont look to be grinded from the front. The write up says to do that. How are yours still showing through?

I would really like to see your write up as well.

Only thing I noticed I actually didnt like was how the LEDs were lighting up the inside of the mirror housing as well as shining through the mirror. Possible way to cover up the back and sides of the leds to where you will only see the LED is through the mirror?

Also Adobe products have never worked well on this computer for some reason and I cant load the Evilbads one.

Do you have pictures of how you wired the led board? That is the only thing that I really do not understand. Did you have an problems taking your mirrors off? Your install looks really good by the way. Nice Job!!
