Boot L.E.D

eatsoot04 · 27-01-2006, 14:14

Hi guys,

I recently took the blue neon outta my boot and replaced it with a green L.E.D as i thought it would look better i.e. colour match.

However i have found the LED to be an really insense light and something that actually makes it harder to see in the boot now which was not my plan.

Anyway...soon some 312mm brakes maybe on the way with red calipers. So this is my excuse to change it to red. Is there anything you guys can suggest as to making the light dimmer or less intense or should i just get red neon?

Other thatn that i have thought about mounting it in the false floor and cutting slats in the visible floor so it shines through (but im a bit lazy at the mo so wanna see if theres anything else you wizards can prescribe?)

Cheers

Alex

Try mounting the LED's so they shine down into the boot rather than out of the boot?

You could put the original back in. It was designed for that bulb after all
