Yellow, I doubt you'd be a "vendor". Just do a FS thread and say you have a few sets. I'd probably buy one. I'd just send you my tails, but my car is my DD so that'd kinda be a problem haha

yea i wouldnt try for vendor status but if you try to sell a bunch of somethin they get mad cuz the person sellin isnt payin for the vendor status. its one of the reasons mkulrey and impulseballer tried keepin the stuff they sold "low key". i actually have a extra set of inners and that could be my starter. i could get a couple more sets to make up to have and still do the core charge thing that way the price wouldnt be to high. its just a thought i guess. we'll see.

no thats the point of the diodes. diodes keep power from goin back down in the wrong direction of a wire.

Just read this, and my question is.....what color LED's did you use? I'm doing this as soon as I order the LED's and wondered what color to get.

Nevermind......Just answered my own question
