Also, has anybody noticed that the RSX Type-S has these stock (red)? lol
When I saw them in a buddys car I immediately thought of this thread. :P

The cupholder kit includes 6 resisters, thats 3 resisters per cupholder. ive been running this setup for over 1.5 years and not one problem. but if ya want to be safe you can use 100ohm resisters for EVERY led since its being hooked up to 12 volt but its not needed. anything else?

and using the 3m tape doesnt that expose the led wires to possibly getting kicked
or something like that....i started doing my system what size did you use for the 3 mm leds on the drill bit becuase i bought 1/16 hoping it would work
