Default FINISHED!!!TRANS AM INTERIOR BLUE LED's!(56k kill)

Alright guys i spent alll day ripping apart my dash and trying to install the LED's alll around in my car. Its not to bad as long as you kinda know what you doing and have a good understand about electronics. I think the over all effect is actually really good but im having some problems with installing them in the HVAC controls... i think i need to buy a new CLEAR overlay, and rip out the excisting one if thats even possible... The project so far has been pretty awesome and kinda fun... Ill see if these pictuires work...

ya i know there all blury, but youll get the idea....




OOO
HERE ARE THE REST OF THEM..... the HVAC came out ok.... i messed up a bit, but the quality of the pictures cannot capature it.... but over all i though it was funnn.






ENYOY

ENJOY!

naa it can be turned down, but i though for the pictures that i would have the max setting on..

and ya the dash is a reverse kit... its almost impossible to turn the dash into leds with out having it turn out spotted, i tried it.... its wayyy to hard, and pratically impissible with "normal" LEDS
