Lookin' good. As much as I hate red (can't stress that enough) you did a real clean, professional job with a nice result. I woulda put em on a switch personally, but your way's second best imho.

Way better than neons anyday. Go soft light!

I asked him last night if he ripped it off his trunk to throw on his dash.

He got an extra from the dealer. I'm debadging as soon as I get the chance...though I probably would have liked to have an extra anyway.

i got mine at radioshack, since i work there i was able to try all the LED's and decide on which ones i wanted
if you go there, the LED's i used are 276-309, and if you use the same LED's you have to wire a 680ohm resistor to the longest side of the LED for it to work or you'll blow your LED(s)

anymore q's just ask
