I deal with them on a regular basis.

They have bright LEDs in multiple sizes.

To make the viewing angle of an LED wider. Take a file or some sandpaper and flaten the round top off. This makes the light disperse at a much wider angle.

Since Black lights/LED's emit UV light, you can also work on your tan while driving. Sure, they'll burn the retinas a bit, but it's worth a nice tan year round....

*****EDIT*****
Damn it sorry, just noticed I got sucked into an old thread, this damn thread was only 5 months old when bruce brought it back up. sheesh
*************



looks good. One note though I'd really use surface mount resistors instead of paper core, it saves a lot of space. I have a somewhat old how to on my site http://www.igd4u.com look ont eh left menu bar. Also based on my old instructions a fellow accorder has opened up a site selling packages for LED conversions. Check out http://www.99accord.com he's been having server problems lately so if you can't get through his site just drop him a line Nate Entcee@mindspring.com

I've had mine done for about a year and a half now I'm about half way through with changing it all to white, and I got a hold of a few luxeon LEDs for doors and such(Luxeon are THE brightest LEDs around, about $10 each too)

here's a few pics of my blue setup.







and a daytime pic of all that

When you finish the white, will you post pics of them please? I liked your blue, but I am curious to see how the white looks in comparison. On a side note, is your wood grain factory or aftermarket? I've been considering doing mine. Thanks and regards.
