lighted cupholders, interesting...

You should put them inside like you did with the first one :)
I think LED lighting looks a lot better when you can see the actual LED but rather just the light emitted from it.

thats a pretty cool thing to do.

yeh i thought abotu puting them in but th problem with that is oncethats done cups dont realy fit any more the only reasion i did it like that on the first one is cuz i never put cups in there (they get in my way)

I have to agree with Paul, I like LED's and lighting better if you can only see the light emitted and not the bulb/tube. It is interesting though, I think that you're the first to put LED's there. You should post a night time shot when you get a chance, I'm interested to see them in action.

easy fix shave the leds down. thats how mine were done and it worked fine. and i only had 1 led in each holder but should still work with 3. hope that helps you

i also painted my leds to match the console. since my console was white i painted it lightly with white and the led still emitted thru

Go LED Man! shining bright whenever he can!

Sweet. I've been looking at some LED work, myself.
Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor the patience to fabricate my own LED units.

On the bright side (no joke intended), I found a place with reasonable pricing and a product that beats what you can buy at O'Riellys. Check out Auto SDirect (http://www.autodirectsave.com/auto_accessory.asp) .

They sell prewired LEDs from wal-mart? o.O

[bandit307]

:shake:

$10 for 4 LED's? I guess if you think its easier...

[bandit307]

its not so much that its easier just less time consuming and lazyness is a big factor.
