I replaced my Dome Light with a 31mm LED.. It took a bit of shoe-horning to fit and Blew the fuse once..
The Standard Dome light is 28mm so the 31 mm needed some clever thinking to fit but it is in and looks great...

GOD DAMN YOU!!!!
it was only after i discovered there were feston shaped lights with LED's in them that i cut up mine.
i wish i did that now as my LED project is still coming along after having blown several fuses ive narrowed it down to a + touching one of my earth wires.
looks good magnat, very nice indeed, SHAME I DIDNT THINK OF THAT!!!http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/dodgeviper89/zoemodel028.jpg

By the looks of my Boot light, it will need a custom Bulb Holder.. Not sure if I will just Replace the Whole thing with a Neon Tube..
I will look into it..

oh crap.....cause so far the 3 electronic projects ive tried to complete (neon tube connected to 12v supply under ps2 : Installing CD player in EL Falcon : LED lights), have all failed miserably, i wont go into detail how long each one took.
i was hoping for more of a plug stright in light thingy. but magnat while your doing your boot lights/neons/ could you take pictures so i know what im going to go through? that would help a little.
but looking nice mate you gotta take a night shot so i can see what im missing out on:)

Which way do you have the Light facing?? some of them have a White Backing on them Blocking the light..
Mine is from Autotechnica.. They usually Retail for around $10 but due to the Old Folks living in my area I had to Pay $15 Freight just so my Local Auto parts store could get it...
Moding a Car up is so hard when you have to pay extra for freight or Drive 80k's just to get it..
Here is what I got but not where I got it from..

Mine used to do that now only Green and red are left.. But the Blue one lasted forever in my Mondeo, I had Blue Footwell led's either side ( It came standard with Footwell lights and a delayed off thingy) looked real good with Blue LED's in the dash but Magna's are a little harder to modify then a Mondeo...
