oh yeah I bought the whole thing on ebay.... but the only thing I used from their setup is the LED pods and fuse holder.... other then that everything is too short and the switches are ugly. Connections are pretty lame too which is why I did my own thing.... i ended up ditching the capsules and just soldering instead.

I forget how i found it on ebay.... just search around various LED's and happend to find it...

Awsome work man

I am sure I will have a ton of questions for you when I decide to do this mod. I think it looks great. Maybe I will just fly OLT over here to help!!

Good job.

Are you sure you ordered 12V leds? Most of them are not and you have to use a resistor so they dont burn out. Let us know.. They look great!
