Default LED questions??

LED questions??-forumrunner_20111008_204608.jpg

Just finished up my under dash and seat lighting, thought it would be really cool to put some small led's in the 4 air vents. Anybody done this or thought about it?

I would think the lights in the vents would possibly be considered a distraction by Mr policeman. Although i don't really know. Not something I'm into but it does look neat!

Those lights are sick What did you use for the LEDs I'm your truck? I've been looking at the flexible tubes and everything but not sure what would look best.

Just a quick question. I did my LED lights under the dash and thinking about adding some under the back seats as well. How did you run the wires to yours under the seats?

I ran mine in my 95 under the carpet and door jam, then came out where a seat belt buckle did. Keeping it tucked out of the way as best as i could to prevent snags and such.

Then half way of the seat,I used a coat hanger with tape to push the wire under the floor to the center console and zip tie the wires of the lights to the seat bottoms.leave a little slack for you to slide seats forward and back. Sorry its two post but while typing I hit send.
