My twist on the "Rev mod"... - Second Generation Nissan Xterra Forums (2005+)

**IZVERG** · #1 09-10-2009, 09:56 PM

Got several feet of these HID white LED strips from V-LEDS and threw the first few up in the back cargo area. (http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p6374229.html)

Linked the two 12" strips together and wired them into the rear cargo light dome

Left a slight gap due to the wires, but no biggy

Booyah!

<--Note the Rev mod thread up on my Mac!

Peeled off the 3M super-strong adhesive backing and applied them directly to the roof. No drilling, no holes. No fuss, no muss!

Night shots

With my Vision X red LED pods

With running lights

With new reverse lights

People are going to think they are getting abducted when either you or Rev drive up.

Doesn't Ozium LEDs make something similar to that.We have always used Ozium LED strips at the shop and they seem to be nice quality products.How is it for V-LEDs?

And I'm seeing White and Warm White.Whats the difference?

I have nothing but goos things to say about V-LEDS, but yeah - those rear dome lights are a little off from the strips. Gonna have to look into this...

I think you had different LEDs before in the dome light, how do they compare to this one? I can see that there is a bum load of them, but the heat dissipation setup is non-existent and should affect the output. What's your overall impression?

Disclosure: I have a 2-LED setup in there and I like it

^I had some LED's from cynicroute before but they kept failing on me (no fault to him, juts his supplier). I like these from V-LEDS a lot more.

I am contemplating going to a high power bulb in the back, we'll see...
