clean LED install means that they should not be visible....thats it

I'll check them out
In looking around I've seen alot of different kinds of LEDs
Is the effect of the sheets as dramatic as it appears in the pictures?
Also, how hard is it to setup a toggle for "all on/off"?
#1190
of course not, putting a switch is is a joke. just put it on the positive wire so it either opens or closes the circuit
haha i just barely listened to videos myself . yeah you can hear the engine sucking in air and its meaner sounding(not as mean as a CAI!) but it does overpower all the belts and other crap you may hear coming from under the hood

Most if the pics that I have seen using the sheets appear to have a much more dramatic effect, not necc brighter.....Just more aesthetic. More of a "glow"
As far as the switch goes, I am talking about a toggle for ALL of the interior lights. Something that would be like a bypass. Allowing you to turn them all on while the car is off.

I am refering to the LED sheets for the dome lights

blue lights in general dont produce a lot of light because the higher the temperature of the color the more your pupil contracts. That is part of the reason y using 10k aka blue HIDs is useless because you cant see anything with them. If you do get really bright front dome lights you still wont be able to tell the difference in some colors and at times it may give you a head ache. im replacing my front domes with cool whites as soon as i get a chance. everything else will stay blue
if you want a toggle switch for Dome lights then that's a big NO inless you get it done right/professionaly. When addin a power source to something that already has one you have to use a relay in order to avoid a huge disaster of burning out your electrical system. If you turn on the domes when the car is off and then start the car....____ is gonna blow.
If you wanna add a swithch to additional lights such as puddle/grille/speakers then its totally fine just make sure to use a fuse because you may have to connect directly to the battery unless you can find a constant 12V on the inside's fuse box, which is prolly not that hard if you just used a multimeter and poked around
#1193
actually you could use 2 switches. one on/off and the other 2 pole or 3 pole switch for selecting the sources
BTW!
dome is already connected directly to the battery! why am I explaining all this haha
WHICH MEANS YOU CAN JUST TAP INTO THE DOME! I DID A DIY IN HOW TO DO IT IN MY THREAD

While waiting for my new tires to be mounted i saw this:
so now I have Max Performance Summer Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires on
235/40/19 on the 9" fronts
245/40/19 on the 10" rears
Rears are stretched 0.5"
Since I got it done at Costco, they inflated them with Nitrogen which is why the caps are green
Rear 10" stretched
Front 9"
On left is Rear and on the right is Front:
(rear looks meaner because of the lower offset)
oh yeah and I installed the front mud guards only because i dont have time to do rears.
fronts are wicked easy to install. you dont need to take off the wheel. I did anyway but all you really need is a flexible adapter
EDIT:
Tires arent new haha, each costs like $350 new!
245s came with the purchase of the wheels and have 65-70% thread left
235s I bought on ebay for $130/pair - they look ____ty and have little cracks all over and have ~60% thread
