EV ftw!!!
Where did you get the wires for this with the proper connector for the particular LED's you used?
I have seen this one http://autolumination.com/74.htm - but they don't have them in blue LEDs.......

I think it takes less time than painting calipers.

but if you flush mount them, they will turn into some sort of spot light, not illuminating the surrounding areas.
I've tried sanding down the top domed part of the LED, which makes the light spread out more evenly.

you get a slightly wider but dimmer light pattern.

but I still can't figure out a way to mount the LEDs without getting blinded by them.
I want some light shining down, but I don't want to see the light source...... any suggestions?
O.L.T. congrats on your new SC4
