I have a shitload of LED's in my car... just tape 'em pu in there. You could also use double sided tape. Just make sure they're far enough in the footwell that you can't seem them without getting down on your knees. J-bodies have tons of places to stick lights in, Cobalts are probably the same. Good luck with your install.

Mine are a 12 inch tube on each side's footwell as well as a superflux LED pouring light on the steering wheel/center console. My pic is also overexposed.

thats the thing man.. im not using anything pre made theyre straight up single leds and whats happening to mine is that they show like hot spots for lack of better terms.. like spotlighting in one area i wanna figure out how to make them "glow" if you will

this is what im talking about.. notice the red circles.. i want to eliminate that and make them dispurse evenly.. but am stumped on how to achieve this

eBay is cheaper than Oznium most of the time, but I'd much rather buy from Phil with his United States business, and amazing customer service. A great community there who is always willing to help as well.
