Talking LEDs under the car

planned to wire them so when i open the door or turn off alarm with the remote, the LED will come on

Part: LED screws

Notes: I have not install this yet, just tape it under the car to see what it look like, so they are not aimed straight yet. I will install it when I get a chance and have a DIY then.

a bit cheesy eh, look pretty cool I think.

Looks nice. But kinda crooked. When you finalize, line it up straight.

I like much appreciate the work you have put into this and thank you for allowing us to use your ideas in our modding efforts. Remember here folsk from Auto Couture it would be $400.00 with shipping and handeling. Here it would be $20.00 plus donation to Banana.

Hey Ahn, these look great.
Now you need to find some one who is willing to produce these in large volumes.

That looks pretty cool. I would go with super white LEDs and maybe put one on the underside of both side mirrors.

BananaGS,

What source do you use for these types of LED's? Do you buy through a catalog (like DigiKey, for example) or on the web or local electronics store, etc.?
