for the L.E.D set out, you will need a resistor for every light too.

Go for the LEDs!!!!

yes Peteex the white LEDs still have some blue-ish in it

Honoturtle · 10-31-2002, 02:28 AM

tomazws, where do you get your LED's from? I bought some LED's at RadioShack, and they are huge! Well except the red ones, and for white LED's, they take more that 3v which is how much power I plan to put in my car.

But do you guys know any store that sells smaller LED's?

Darn! What size is your LED's tomazws?

Jonno · 11-01-2002, 04:55 AM

There is a place here in Australia called "Force Electronics" they have them, I think they are about 2mm.

tomazws · 11-01-2002, 03:34 PM

whoa 2mm? i want i want!!! hhahahah.. mines are 3mm... tried putting a black piece of circular plastic over the LED and created the BMW "Angel Eyes" effect. it was tite! too bad they don't made no current bmw models.... and angel eyes don't look good on those old ass beemers

Ok, old topic, unfinished car...........
Here are actual pics, not scans,

Ok, here's the problem, the middle of the hood wasen't supposed to snap off, and if it did, it was supposed to be straight, since I made a straight groove on the bottom of the hood, so I need some advice on fixing this.

magicmanjk808 · 12-21-2002, 04:27 AM

if that happened to me, i'd just glue the hood back on and fill the crack with putty.

Camber · 12-21-2002, 08:08 AM

Looking good. For the Hood id put a piece of Styrene piece under the hole and fill it with putty. Which Accord is it based on? Jaccs or PIAA? Im guessing JACCS from your Sig?

Vegetta · 12-21-2002, 08:47 AM

Yea, if you can deal with the electrical/resistor/soldering work, go for the LED's. I build an older S10 that had the typical "White/blueish" headlights, wit the yellow foglights. *think of te LX300*.

Somewere I also found a "dancing" switch that I put in the topper of a Suburban I build with speakers in te sback. The ligts "danced" ot the music.

ex-r · 12-21-2002, 12:07 PM

Nice.

As far as the crack part goes, glue the part back on and fill the seams woht putty.

Purpura Delujo · 12-21-2002, 04:12 PM

Australia also has a place called Jaycar, I have a bag full of LEDs from there and I have 1mm white/blues, 2mm yellows & reds, 3mm yellows and reds and a couple of flat yellows.

supratuner · 02-15-2003, 11:56 AM

still looking good, when is it going to be finished?

bibendumz · 02-15-2003, 03:55 PM

Maybe you can cover the hole on the bonnet with clear plastics and pop in a ITR engine...just a suggestion
