LEDs, Cathodes, Philips Ultinon 6000K, Pics!
I bought about $40 in LEDs from superbrightleds.com
2 pairs of 4" Cold Cathodes (clearcorners)
H3 6000k bulbs (fogs)
Philips Ultinon 6000K
The LED's went in the dome lights, door markers, and license plate.
back of clear corner

front w/out cover, i put the cathode tube in a "gelly roll" pen case.

both them on, with out covers

Finished

interior

Thanks to Yume, who had the great idea, and helped me along the way, with the corners.
Next, CCFL in the clearance strip, and CCFL in the licence plate.
thanks for looking

awesome dude! glad it worked out for you. very clever with how you ran the wiring in the corners. make sure you cover that center hole with that harness thing so that no water leaks inside.
Those are pretty bright. if you think its too bright you can alway put a thin strip of the aluminum tape across it to cover some of the light.

Hey Pete, did you ever put ccfl's in your corners?
hey yume, any ideas on how to take apart the corners after sealing them up? there pretty solid.
edit: nevermind, dremeled it. and ended up breaking the cathode, no biggie, got extra.

I noticed the OP stated that he would use CCFL's in the license plates? How's that going to work? Custom fab? Or direct drop in?.. Fill me in!!! I wanna do.. I wanna do lol.. Looks dope! Not a fan of the "blue" it's a little too much.. but it looks good. Congrats!




its a little bright lol
