Looking to do illuminated cupholder

jikhead · 03-20-2012, 08:08 PM

I think LED's would be too bright for this project, but you could put a dimmer switch on them. I spent about $20 w/shipping and an extra wire to gauge which size I wanted to use. I'll be sending the .26mm back in exchange for a red .22mm wire. I sent the retailer some pics and he agreed that red would be a closer match to the Z's orange illumination lights. I may purchase another cupholder, as I got some super glue on my fingers and some transferred to the silver/titanium plastic lip on the top. So I won't bother with additional pics until I replace it with the red wire. I also went down to purchase a handy hands helper/solder station as the last few times I've done some soldering, it has been a real bitch. These holders are great and make soldering so much easier and safes time.
