Default LED Wiring Tutorial + LED Pix

I posted this on the other board, but just in case some of you havent seen it. I took the time to write up an LED tutorial on how to add LED accent lights anywhere in your car. I chose to replace the dim lights in the inner door right above the handle that illuminate the switches with briter red LEDs. I think it looks awesome in person. Here is a picture, and the tutorial on how its done.

i did that to my 99 camaro 4 years ago and i did a lot more after every body seen it and thought was cool, i also did it on a lot of other cars (Z71 trucks, eclipses, supras, ect...)
also built led light bars that go under the car instead of neon tubes,brighter
more clear of a color, and lastes longer
they realy change the looks for the better
good luck in moding its a lot of fun
