Glowin Car
 

I was really bored so i found some old blue LEDs from a school project they were like 5mm so i couldnt do headlights with them so i tried makein the car glow and these were REALLY powerful lights heres what it looks like sorry no dark pics dumb cammera

heres a pic of it if the bmp didnt work right

its a REALLY bad pic i know but my cammera sucks sorry but u get the gist of it

Holy Crow!
 

It looks like the glowing rod in the opening of the Simpson's that goes down Homer's back. You can call it the radioactive mod! I need to do this to one of my ZZ's! What were the blue LED's? Any particular brand and model?

Re: Holy Crow!
 

not any pirticular brand if you know anything bout LEDs just go over to radio shack and get a lithium battery 3 volts and 2 blue LEDs 3.7 volts they will work fine

Sweet...
 

I've played with other LED's...but haven't gotten around to the blue ones yet...gads they're strong little buggers! Just wasn't sure if this was a property for all of them, or just a particular brand/model.

Thanks for the info...might have to head to the Rat Shack today!

Chris

idea
 

u can put the leds underneath ur car so it looks like u have under glow lights:D put 1 led in the front and the other in the back..or u can get threeand put another 1 in the middle:D

Re: idea
 

well its impossible for me to put one in the middle but i only have 5mm right now so i cant do underglow i need 3mm since the pictures dont give u a good view it kind of looks like a glow stick the ENTIRE car glows
