I was thinking of doing something like this but I realized that it looks a lot easier than it actually is after reading this thread.

Good job man.

Any literature you could recommend to get some idea how this magic LED stuff works?

Haha, I learned to solder and connect bits up with the right resistors from an early age. My dads an Electronic Engineer so he tried to get me to follow but I got bored looking at the stuff so I choose Chemical Engineering since I can blow stuff up

It is fairly easy once you get the basics down. I'd say the best literature is going to HIDplanet and looking at the DIY LED threads. You really do learn a lot

Thanks guys. I'm still working on it but it'll take longer than expected. I might have broken something in my arm. Not sure yet but I can't put my hand to my chest right now
