LED Underglow – Finally Installed!

Today my dad helped me install the LED strips for the red underlighting on my car, using this super adhesive “matter concrete”, that allows the creation of an inseparable bond between galaxies. However, it takes 24 hours to set completely, by which times he galaxies may have drifted apart. Use tape to hold them together.

Joking aside, I did all the wiring as well today, and here are the results, in the dark.

Outside
Excellent. Perfect.

Open Door
Here is both the interior and exterior.

Now, unfortunately I’ve got a little problem where the actual lights are partially visible, due to the mounting locations (the lip of my bumpers, front and back, and the rockers on the sides). My mom’s boyfriend gave me an idea, however, to use foam weather stripping and place a strip just outside of the light strip, in order to block the bulbs from being visible, but by still allowing the glow to appear below. Clever!

Interior LED
Prior to all this, I also converted the interior dome light to LED. Hehe.
