    In the housing of the interior lamps itself on the roof

    The base has spots for 6 leds on either side of the normal light and 1 large strip across the width of the dome light base just in front of the screws.

    Cut to size (can cut at every 3 LEDS), soldered,l drilled holes for the wires and connected to the interior light circuit underneath the base

    So its actually on the same base as the normal light, just more LEDS added to the circuit and base, and because of that, i reduced the main halogen globe to 5 watts instead of 10watts so that drain on battery is minimal

    Yesterday: Drove it. Used it as a radio while digging up the nature strip. Drained the battery in an hour. To the point the radio died.
    Today: Same as yesterday but didnt drain the battery.

    Drove to work and back.

    However went to pick up dinner and at a service station along the way, i was getting into my car when a random lady whilst walking into the servo says to me 'nice car'

    Unexpected and yet felt nice to be complimented on it
