Re: my led mods

i am soon going to modify and fabricate some extra 194 bulb lights for the trunk area for when the hatch is popped. these will be either an ice white, or super white led. what i am going to do is mount 4 194 led bulbs. one on each seat belt plastic cover, angled inward and down at the carpet, so they illuminate all of the trunk area. then two more mounted on the sail panel plastic angled down toward the rear seat with a switch, so a passenger can use it as a light when it is needed, or if i need it. i also may modify my dome light a bit, or add a panel toward the windshield on the roof for two pivoting lights, one facing the passenger, and one facing the driver, each with a separate button. i may pull this unit off a 1999 tahoe thats in a junkyard, and modify the look, and feel of it to fit my generation of car.
