Got bored this morning so I took my M44 spark plug wire hider and put some LED's in it. These two are day shots at noon. Can't wait until tonight to see if the LED's light up from spark plug wire voltage leak.

Looks nice and unique. I shall wait for night pics. Could have been cool to do the M with different colors to get the M/// effect. __________________

LOL reminds me of the flux capacitor in Back to the Future. I admire your intolerance for boredom.  __________________

I like the unique idea with the leds. Now you can place some more leds in other corners.  | | | | | 11-04-2008, 02:21 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |
