cool, i'm done with one headlight. I wanted to see a few things:
1. find an empty fuse in the fuse panel with ignition "on" ability. I found it in the right side of the engine. I will share with everyone which one (there are a few).
2. how to go about mounting the LED strip and snake the wire behind the light. I though this was going to be a pain in the ass - but turned out to take me less than a minute.
3. cover every other LED on the strip. I used this rubber tape which works pretty good, withstands high heat, and it's weather proof.
4. glueing down the LED strip. I didn't get this done, but it looks pretty secure in there. 2 sided tape may do the job.
But over all the project took me about 25 minutes. Amazingly easy.
-- this is what it looks like initally (not installed):
--- i then began to cover every other LED - too many in my opinion:
--- i used a tape i bought in HomeDepot called Temflex
--- here is the fuse box under the hood
--- notice some empty (availble) fuses
--- i then snaked the cabling of the LED inside and behind the light:
--- i then took a spare fuse available in the fuse box and took the positive cable from the strip and pinched the cable down with the fuse in an available socket
--- i then connected the negative directly to the battery, turned the car on, and voila!
--- now with my lights on - i kinda don't like the fact that the headlights look amber as opposed to the superwhites the LED's let out. anyone have suggestions?
i also have a video but i need to render and upload to Youtube. I'll do it later.
I gotta tell you, this is pretty easy to mod and it really looks good.
let me know what you all think.... thanks for the inspiration NastyMigui
Looks cool A.D.! with a little tweaking (maybe we can finally figure out how to get inside the bucket, EVERYONE would like to know how, for a multitude of reasons...painting the inside body color ect) it'll be a solid mod!
