Curt's05, where did you procure those two small bright spot LEDs you installed for map lights in the overhead console? They look very clean and effective. I have tried replacing the original incandescent bulb with different LEDs with less than satisfactory results in the front seat reflector dome sockets. I checked out that Menard's site and found mostly household lamps. Do you have part numbers maybe?

unicornstainless.com, a friend was looking for this type to install into his deck railing and found these. We installed 16 at 3 ft spacing to give the deck/railing mood lighting.

Where did you splice into the hood light for power. I did mine and I don't think it's turning off when the hood goes down.

Thought I'd share the project I worked on last weekend since there are some LED lovers in here.

I did the under hood light like Curt's05 showed us.


I added some under door lights as well. These really light up the ground at night.

TXtinct....looks like you sold someone on here everything needed to swap out all the lights in the car....have enough sitting around to send me a little package also!? Also, where did you get the strip for under the map pocket...is it just a cheap autozone item or is it from somewhere else? Looks great.
