Big'ol huge honkin' 10 mm FESTOON
I decided to make use of my abundance of 10mm monster white led's. I designed this festoon using 4 10mm high outputs.
I created these boards with custom cut perf and routed the circuit through resistors designed into the board.
Size Comparison. 10 mm monster led's beside the "usual" 5mm "little guys"
Festoon uncovered burning in......
Festoon covered........
Festoon light output in a dark room....

EV ftw!!!
Holy Crap!!!!! 
I have got to get me two of these!!! These look exactly like the rear headliner entry/map reading lights in a 2nd Gen GS......................
Absolutely awesome work Brian!!!
Hey, you got any pictures of the dome light for a 2nd gen GS all lighted up like that? You could do exactly the same thing for the map reading lights part of it as you did on these ones.
JUST ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICALLY, STUPENDOUSLY, EXHILIRATINGLY AMAZING WORK!!!

I've got to have these.

I'm just messing around here.

Geez, I wonder why the person didn't send the cover..................

hey OLT..i'm a DIY'er...can u show me the back how u wired up the LED's . You did use resistors, correct? If so which ones? I would love to do this. Thanks...

thanks OLT for the inspiration
..already done, i didn't use 10mm... used 3mm - 24 of them in each dome light...
ummm ...it lights up my entire cabin...LOL..ridiculous.

Looks great
I find that when you group multiple large amounts of led's the voltage fluctuations can be wild at times and it tends to create spikes and burn them out randomly, so I try and use as little as possible and as big as possible. Keep us updated on their stamina.
