Default My LED project and updated interior *pics*

Well here it goes guys I have been working on this little LED project for my trunk because I'm sick of not being able to see anything back there at night.

So there are 6 LEDs in the trunk and they are tapped into the dome light for power. So they turn on and off with the open / closed doors.

Here are some pics of my little LED project, sorry for the bad night pics my camera sucks in the dark and yea thats bags of salt in the trunk ( I drive it in the winter )







and here is a bit of an update on the very slow progress on my interior. ( I know you will all probably hate it so if you hate it I dont want to hear it. Constructive criticism is welcome)




EDIT: Links have been fixed

Yes it is a wheelskins cover from PFYC.com and the LEDs are 6 8,000MCD LEDs with 1/2 watt 330 OHM resistors with 3 LEDs in series at 2.2 volts a piece comes out exactly right when planning for a 13.5volt source. I got 100 of the LEDs on EBay for like 12 bucks shipped and the resistors for another 4
