(Click anywhere on that huge sucker)

Well, I bought a pair. They are yellow. They have 22 leds for each block and it has 3 settings; take turns flashing, at the same time and 8 times then switch to the next. I have no idea where to put them on my 88 firebird. I think they are about 6"/3". Should i put them above my feet, or on the outside of the car? Or anywhere. thanks.

Re: I dont know where to put them!

How about you return them and not put them anywhere?
But if you do decide to get them, for the love of God, don't put them on the outside of the car.
Thanks.

Re: I dont know where to put them!

don't let the haters discourage you... It really depends what your goals are. I have ALOT of LEDs in my Firebird. One of the coolest places I have them is inside the air conditioning/heater vents. I have red LED's in there at when they are turned on at night, it looks like a glowing furnace...I also have red LED's in the hushpanels (by your feet) and LED's right behind the door handles themselves (both inside and out)... Its YOUR car and YOU do want with them...

Re: I dont know where to put them!

Ok thanks, Yeah I actually didn't plan on buying them. I Went on my account and it said i won this item. I dont even remember bidding on it! But I had to buy them so id mind as well use them. HCR13, thanks for the help. Sound like you have a pretty sharp lookin car. I put some really bright purple leds in the vents in my truck and made a bar of them and attached it behind the front bumper aiming down. Looks pretty good i think.

Thats because thats a scam.If you didnt bid then someone used your account. When you open the link that you were sent and "sign in" they have all your info , same if you follow their link to paypal. Hopefully you didnt pay with any type of bank account or paypal. Keep an eye on your fleabay / paypal account now.

Good luck
