LED puddle light project

I originally bought these LEDs to make some custom fog lights buy bought HIDs instead So I was bored tonight and came up with these. These LEDs are 10mm 10000mcd hyper whites. Anyway, these took me about two hours tonight and I wanted to show them off. THey are alot brighter than the camera makes them out to be because of the light compensation. Now I just have to make them fit in my mirrors. The soldering job is terrible because I had no flux, bot oh well--it will be fine with the little current they draw. I have about 1000 of these and I am now working on some 6x9 driving lights.

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.
