We my friend finally lent me his dremel so instead of doing home work I made these.

I had gotten a few acrylic rods from somewhere that were about a foot in length. I drilled a hole in each end and put a wide angle LED in the whole(only have wide angle right now), and this is how they came out.

I think they came out pretty good for only 2 LED's and doing it at like 2 in the morning.

 

So is all of the blue glow from under the dash from the acrylic rod? If so, thats bad ass and a good way to not buy neons lol. Good work fing02.gif

 

That looks AWESOME!! Where did you get the acrylic rods at? I want to try this!

 

The acryllic rod method is not the greatest method to use. it's very dim compared to neon or cold cathode. You should look at doing something like this:





But if anyone is interested, I can make some 3" laser etched tubes for $4 + shipping.

They would be made out of the same acryllic as these angel eyes and they would be MUCH brighter.

 

Kustomized: Yeah the blue under the dash is from the rod, there is just an led on each side

DTN: Cold cathode would definitely be brighter, but when i already had 40 3mm 5000mcd leds laying around and i got 5 foot long acrylic rods for i believe 6 dollars shipped....its a little cheaper.

TibbyTib: This is where i got the rods from. Here

 

looks pretty nice.. i agree with dtn though... cold cathode or neons would work better. i used the 10 dollar neons from walmart and was very pleased with outcome
