I did one better for the interior. I've made LED circuit boards for all stock interior lighting. 90 white, 13K mcd LEDs It's all xenon-white looking, no more yellow interior lights.

The license plate light is 36 white, 6K mcd LEDs. New license plate light with double the amount of LEDs soon.

Thanks for the props!
IMO, they're not worth making to sell. I have 4 hours tied up in JUST soldering the LEDs. Time from start to finish paint everything was probably around 9-10 hours total. Here's what I spent:
Extra Filler Panel: $25
LEDs: $15
Paint Supplies: $15
Camera: $40
Plexiglass: $15
Vinyl: $10

Total is $120 with a camera, so add in labor and it'd be pretty expensive.

Looks awesome man!! If you did it in CAD, think you could do it with the Firehawk bird, and script? Prob not cuz of the whole SLP Thing, but either way that's AWESOME. I need to get back in touch with WS6Extreme for my interior, but I fell outta touch with him. Awesome work!!

Seriously, that looks too damn good. It turned out great and does not look cheap at all. Congrats on your kickass mod!

Thanks!
I have alot of trans am/firebird/firehawk stuff in CAD already. My first intentions were to use just that, but due me having to put the camera where the key hole was (for depth), the hawk emblem's wings would have been in the way. SLP says you can use their logo's for personal use, just can't sell anything with them.

Very nice I bet your eye's were crossed when you got done soldering all of those. I did the license plate light to. Here's mine. I've had it for almost a year now and still have not got pulled over. I'm surprised cause this pic doesn't do it justice.

I have 6 LEDs in series and then 5 groups of those per resistor.

I used 15ohm, 1/2 watt resistors for each group of LEDs
