here are some quick ideas i ran through photoshop last night, i want to do something a little bit more refined, but ill wait to use my cintiq at work.

LED's? Niceeeee.... do it kinda like the new XC60 tails that have that thin strip of running lights down the side, that would look good.

its honestly rather impractical for what little room there is. imo it wouldnt be worth the effort.

Superflux LEDs is what you want. The square LEDs not the round 5mm ones. Have you taken apart the uppers yet?

HIDPlanet.com for the info.

i wanted the round ones, i prefer there light output and coverage better. just needed to know what resistors to use with them.

to get them apart i used a dremel and a head gun

[Hastings]

Can't wait to see these in action

[TFIVEM]

So finally weeks later my LEDs showed up so i can start this project at last. boards will be sprayed silver, just doing a test fit. this project should move pretty quickly now that i have every thing.

[GltGreco]

hurry up and keep us posted haha im excited for the outcome, you should bring it to one of the upcoming shows so we can see in person
