LED puddle light project

slravene · 11-21-2005, 07:52 PM

would you be able to make a set with an on/off switch? As in if you were to make rock lights or fogs.

well, they are going to be a good bit higher than $10. The LEDs themself retail for about 60 cents each(.60x16), not including the 2 hours of labor. I havent set a price yet because I dont know what people are willing to pay for something like this.

I am not sure. I am planning on making a wooden frame for mine and sealing it with fiberglas resin. I will probably make a front lens out of clear plexi. OR I could buy some cheap tractor lights and cut the housing apart, insert the leds, and seal it back up.

Great work! Mine slipped right in and are bright as hell! I can't wait to see them at night!

If he offers them, I say buy 'em up!!!
