Looks good.

I love all your projects. but I think you need to make actual titles for them. For the sake of searching. All of them are called another do it yourselfer. Lol hard to find a specific one you know?

Other than that. Keep at it. Going to try it put myself.

Thank you, I was wondering this afternoon how to make a second 12-led panel power of the one element. I'm pretty much an electrical retard, but I can follow directions pretty well!

Yur welcomed bruh, with me it's simply thinkin' of new innovative, creative ideas and concepts that are practical, affordable and most of all simple and easy as possible to achieve. I'm jus' thro'n it out there like a lot of the guy's are doing on this forum - there some awesome and very informative threads out there.....all you got to do is take bits and pieces from it and run wit' it, add your own unique twists to them if you desire.
Aloha!

This is terrible, abosolutely horrendous. Not only have you half-assed the wiring in there you have exposed led strips.

If this is meant to be a DIY, do yourself a favor and hit the enter key between your images so this can be scrolled down thru, not side to side.

Well I guess im another idiot then, and don't make fun of his spelling because you feel attacked. Its not very becoming.

The idea is good because its well known that fits don't have very good interior illumination but that was a half a$$ed way to correct the problem. reminds me of things the kids in high school would do when they would get their first car at 16.. go to advance auto and spend $100 on leds and crap..

not trying to hate but its an opinion dude.

aloha

Hey man I saw your sidemarker light install, it looks good!!
Having said that I appreciate your remark about my using someone's spelling in a comment that they made was probably not a correct one. But by the same token... how can you have the audacity to tell me that when you yourself used a reference to Hispanics in a very desparaging, derogatory way to express your statement is ok for you but not others? It appears to have a bit of racial overtones to to me... I can see you rightly went back to the thread and edited that word out but some of us caught it before you removed it.

Aloha!

Thanks a million Big Mike...Your ride is glowing as usual, keep up the good work man. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, I did! Had a good year this year and looking forward to the next, but I think I'm going to steal a page from your ole' playbook and drop back in the zone for a while. I think I've thrown enough ideas ( excellent, good, so-so, horrendous, half assed ) and all the other adjectives that one can imagine for year...

Think that will make a few others happy too! Not just me. Luv ya' man!
Aloha!

Youre right I did go back and change it because I realized it did sound derogatory but the fact of the matter is that where I live the population is probably about 80 percent Cuban (I myself have some hispanic in me)and the majority of the Hispanic owned vehicles in the high school parking lot where I went to school have some sort of autozone neons or LEDs or some crap.

Either way.. Didn't mean any disrespect to anyone on here so that's why I changed it.. Also didn't mean any disrespect to you.. I just prefer things that look more oem or well refined.. But to each his own..
