couple photos of my LED project

I am adding some LED's to the compartment under the AC controls. I will update as I complete it. At the end, Maybe I'll make it a right up, if people like it

I know.....I know..........

I suck at making these! Hopefully you folks can do better at soldering than I can. I mean, I know everyone can take better pictures, lol.

Enjoy:

Assembling the LED's. I should have used 12ohm resistors and wired it in series, but I had these 470ohms already, so i figured why not? free is free.....

Temporary Power Source: I just wire these temporarly to this, to test them. I will hardwire it in the back, later.

This is where I plan to mount the led's:

Why not? I wish I had a light in that cubby. It's hard to see in there at night.

So i can have light in there! Mostly for my Palm TX or I-pod. Or whatever is in there.

Looks like a nice project man.

One question though, when you open the compartment and the little door comes up, isn't that going to block your little lights?

I took a pen and marked a line on the ceiling of that compartment where the "top" of the door is, when opened. I will put them just a slight bit behind that line

and aim them slightly foward.

Hope that helps clarify.

I am almost done btw. I will be posting pics later, about mid-afternoon, ohio time.

Hmmm...it's past mid afternoon Ohio time, Iowa time, Colorado time and California time...I think we might evenbe approacing mid afternoon Hawaii time! :lol:

Just giving you a hard time

Sorry, I am done and all, but I lost the cable between the camera and the computer. Will be up as soon as I find it

Sorry for the delay. I also am making a write up. Oh, and I redid the LED's so the soldering was better, used actual heatshrink and electrical tape, and a circuitboard, so it is much flatter and stays in place if I hit a bump or something
