Let there be light! Led's in trunk and engine bay

Post by LBC TITAN »

Somehow I lost my draft and I don't feel like writing it all over again, darn! :angry:

To make a long story short, I saw what Cad-Kid did to his trunk by adding led lights, so I decided to do the same thing, but using multi colored leds.

The hardest thing to do was getting the led strips to adhere to the underside of the trunk and engine bay fenders. After trying Velcro, Cement Glue, Double Sided Tape, Silicone, and Adhesive Spray, Weather Stripping Adhesive did the trick.

If you want more details about the products I used for let know.

The led's need to be pushed back further so that they don show while looking head on.
