My Amps Are Lit

[Haysey]

finished my amp light strips tonight.....

i didnt know there were pre made ones untill FHRX told me.... so i was creative and made my own.....

i used...

piano hinge where i made the holes 1mm bigger to 5mm

small wire from jaycar...

$38 worth of blue leds... (=20)

a borrowed soldering iron....

heaps of duct tape and other tape....

about 5 hours of labour.....

completed project looks good.. is bright and will post pics soon...

Marty added some 'tasteful' lighting to my boot interior as well. Looks good except that I still have the standard boot light in which takes away from how it looks.

[Haysey]

[Haysey]

[dezz]

[melbmaniac]

i would love to see some pictures of your setup

please post them after you take them

[Haysey]

Took me alot of time.... cutting and measuring....... alot of labour...

cheap as when it came to materials......

$12 of offcut mdf

$20 jigsaw that i had

$40 of lights and wires...

borrowed soldering irons etc alot of beer and swearing and scratching heads... and blisters from the bloody hot glue gun!!!

wat ya think??

im very happy with the result.... all i have to do is put some acryllic in the squares to cover the amps so i can still use my boot then its done.... starting the whole thing was the hardest but i got the hang of it....

thanks

Looks sweet mate, you would have to be happy with that, all the effort paid off in the end by the look of the pics.

Mine is nothing compared to that, but it still had to have practibility for me as well and i needed my boot.
