lightbolt75 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I noticed there are alot of ppl wanting to DIY their own LED moonlights. Yes... we were told to buy from SIM LIM etc etc. But can any guys show us a step by step pic of how to do it? It will be so much clearer to us newbies than words alone. As they say, a pic tells a thousand words. Please include the place where u buy the parts, any special name for the parts and the cost if possible. Thnak you very much!!!!

SRC Member Morpheous Posted June 6, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 6, 2006 I've bought from sim lim tower a cased up of 3 led lights that cost $6. Just connect them to a 12VDC and screw them onto your hood.

SRC Member neokn Posted June 6, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 6, 2006 Sim Lim Tower level 3. The shop directly in front of the escalator with lots of bazaar stuffs outside the shop laying on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Morpheous Posted June 6, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 6, 2006 The Bazaar store at level 3 does not have new ones, and told me that i will be given those that are switched on / on display. Go to the one at basement floor. They also have pre-ready made led strips and also sell tubings to case them up. Will post a pic of the 3 led ones tonight Quote Best Regards, Morpheous ========================================================================================== My Ocean Pets: Emperor Angel, PowderBlue Tang, Regal Angel, Teardrop Butterfly, Singapore Angel and Nemos ========================================================================================== (Only when you guard your lips, you guard your soul....)
