LED dome light

So after I fixed my dome light to light up after installing an aftermarket radio I was not happy with how dim the light was... so I took the idea of a fellow HTer and made my own LED dome light.

+50 brightness on photoshop, you can see the shadows..also used no flash

all in all it is prety cool... really white and will most likely never burn out... and for under 20 bucks... thats pretty cool

It is bright, but also dont forget LED are alot more directional than a regular bulb... IT lights up the rear seats and floor really nice... I will have pics of that tonight when it gets dark again. Also i will work on a writeup too.
