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?

That looks awesome! This is for sure going to be my first mod.
How many LED's are under each of the 2 footwells (or whatever its called) Is it just one or is there more?
Also, would these bulbs work better? They are inverted to spread the light out more evenly.

Do you know the mcd rating for the LEDs that you used? Did you use a resistor on every LED that you installed?
Could you make a simple wiring diagram for those of us who are not electrically inclined?
Looks great by the way.

I use one LED per footwell.
I bought some Razo wide angle spot light from a local car acessory shop for about $10
hard wired them to the glove box light, which only comes on when your head lights are on

These are the LEDs that I use.....I know, it's $3.29 each if you have to pay for them....which I don't

Yes, I used a resistor on every single LED.
I'll try and make up a diagram.....but I'm not too electrically inclined as well
everything I did is by trial and error

still debating if I should take the plunge

I have ordered from them before (because I use LEDs in RC applications) and have had no trouble. In addition, they are cheaper and the specs on the LEDs are a lot better. They are a lot brighter and still retain the same viewing angle (depending on which one you choose).
