Had 50 odd led's left over from the rear lights as you could only purchase them in bunches of 50's so i am putting them into the roof

Passenger side being wired up

All three rows working

Interior shot of the led's working


Drivers side wired up and working

Interior shot

Second coat of primer

Third coat or primer


Looks like a bomb on the roof of the car :-) i have to raise the roof up 15mm so all the wires will be hidden

@ nyek7 - Cheers :-)

Picked the roof scoop up today

The LED's all fiberglassed down

Second layer of fiberglass this layer will pin down the roof scoop

Loads of bumps looks like a gold course :-) these will be sorted


I used filler in the low spots to level the area out then sand this back then re-fiberglass the whole roof
