6x8 and 3x6 LEDs. Yeah. That's bright.
I got these the immediate Sunday after the events of CanAM. I originally had a 7 or so tower LED. After seeing some bright LEDs from... uh...
Andy and Kevin I figured I would go out and upgrade mine.
I was bored so decided to post some pics. All pics are from my Nokia N97 with no flash.
Up front:
Two 6x8 LED boards. So bright it may hurt to turn them on.
Trunk:
3x6 LED board. It may look like some LEDs aren't on.. but it's just the frosted lens.
Don't mind the mess... I was moving things around and had also finished a game of paintball.
License plate:
3x6 LED board.
I couldn't get them to fit in the plastic holder thing... I need to find a way to install them for the most light to shine through.
The rears and my doors still have the tower-LEDs.
I'm thinking of changing out the rear domes to the 6x8s as well.
I also changed my driver vanity-mirror light to the tower LED... it seems to be less bright than the halogen that was previously in there. Looks like I'll have to find a LED board that will fit in there.

I would much rather have them too bright than not bright enough

Hah! That's why I HAD to upgrade!
The trunk lighting is a definite must get! SUCH a big improvement!
The license plate bulb is a nice touch---you should get some!
$22 or $25 Canadian for the 6x8 and I think it was $15 for the 3x6.

I purchased them at a shop in Toronto (Canada).
You may find similar LEDs on VLeds or eBay.
Thanks!
LOL... good question.
Though I am sometimes tempted to listen to an actual 'tape' for shits-n-giggles----I'm actually using a 'tape-to-3.5mm-jack' that is connected to my N97 for music. (The tape was $2.30-something after my discount! So why not, right? =p)
I don't have any of the fancy iSimple or whatever else there was again.
