Adding A Little Rice To Our Diet Part 2: L.E.D Crazzziee

PART ONE OF THIS PROJECT(click here)
DISCLAIMER:
The following post was not intended  to support ricers. the intentions of these SMD LEDs is to add a little class to our cars by providing a luxurious lighting effect. Do not trying this alone. Getting into LEDs alone will eventually cause you to go overboard and thus turning you into a ricer......... Enjoy our post!!
Still on the search for LEDs for Gil's Miata, Gil and Jeff meet up at Jeff's house to plan out which new shops to hit up that might have the license plate light. Since it was already 7pm, Gil's hope for buying his lights die on Jeff's drive way. But a new hope arises since JLC, in  San Gabriel, are open til midnight. Gil and Jeff stop by Starbucks to meet up the rest of the crew and begin their adventure to JLC Lighting.

Abo finally removes the stubborn housing

Once again we like to thank Jack Zeng from JLC Lighting for his accurate bulb knowledge of all our cars and his great hospitality. Will this be the last time the crew messes with LEDs? Stay Tuned To Find Out!!!!........

POST PROJECT COMMENTS:
LEDs add a cleaner look to your car's lighting
Bulbs are still hot when trying to remove
30 LEDs (15x2) for your dome light is down right scary
