anybody know a place to get LEDs for making those? I made my own but the LEDs i got from radioshack are dull as hell. You can barely see them even at night. Any ideas...im looking for either white or red LEDs.

I checked out a local computer store that deals with broken comps and general computer parts. $2.50 for super bright whites.

Any ideas...im looking for either white or red LEDs. Try www.LSDiodes.com [ lsdiodes.com] I bought a couple from them for my first project, but again, it works WAY better to do it with EL Neon String. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

Do they light up at night with your regular headlights? Or do you turn everything on manually?

Really Nice, but hard to believe you opened up the housing assembly like that ![eek eek](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/eek.gif) Not sure I would do that. It's a shame Toyota didn't make it easy to disassemble. The whole heat it up thing makes me cringe, light assembly cost $500+ ~Iggy

never heard of that neon string - must admit yours does seem a lot brighter ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif) Like the feature on the Haloz where you can switch between white for driving and a color for "showing"... mmmmm ultraviolet!! ![spineyes spineyes](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/spineyes.gif)

the heat up preocess is really really easy. I was afraid to do it at first but you really cant mess it up. Once it heats up you canjust take the light apart...and then you just have to re-heat it to make the light go back together. It uses a little force but i was able to do it with my bare hands, and a hair-dryer.
