Default a couple small mods =]

i took some spare led lights i was using inside my computer case and installed them for some accent lighting, wired them to the parking light switch, and then ran a small on/off switch i got at pepboys for $3 for them into the center console:




i also got a nice stubby antenna from pepboys for $12. i was using the 14'' one from AM but i like this one better, its not as flimsy and actually gets better radio reception:

that picture was hard to take O_o but i took each LED stick and wrapped electric tape around both ends, securing it to the main electric harness that runs right underneath below the steering wheel, the harness is pretty thick. kind of a mickey mouse job, i know, but as long as no wires are exposed i think it will be fine hah

the lights are pretty bright, thats why i added the switch so i can take a break from them every now and then haha. thanks for the compliments guys!

You spliced it into the parking lights?? So when you turn on your parking lights, the LEDs come on, so long as the switch is on? What if you want them on w/o your parking lights lol. Where is the parking light wire though? (I am the WORST electronics person ever...)
