Looks good but also looks like you are putting too much work into it.

Waiting for more pics and be sure to get some at night with them lit up.

i used leds i already had so this mod was free lol
the leds already had resistors in them, all i did was solder the wires to them, pretty easy for me
question, i still couldn't get 12v at that gray plug even with the lights is there a fuse somewhere? all the fuses in my fuse box are good
anyone have a wiring diagram for that?

anyways i wired them to the illumination/dimmer wire that goes to my head unit so they only come on when the light switch is on

i only taped them in because i don't like to drill anywhere lol

heres a few day pics i'll diffidently grab some tonight
