Hello All,
I've been doing some research online about jumping into another customizing project. After I hand-built my lightbar I'm thinking about adding some red LEDs for after-dark partying.
I specifically mean that I wish to add some red LEDs in order to have some ambient light inside the boat after sunset. I was thinking about installing one set of LEDs up in the open bow on the underside of the seat cushion near the speakers on each side. I would also want to install some LEDs under the gunnel on each side in the main occupant seating area. Since the cut-outs on each side of the boat are rather long I would probably install at least 2 sets of LEDs under each gunnel (1 mounted at the most foreward position and 1 at the most aft position).
I'm fairly handy with Craftsman tools so I'm not looking for exact or detailed instructions on how to install LEDs. I'm just looking for people who have installed their own LEDs and to get their opinions on mounting locations, what worked for them (what didnt work for them), LED product suggestions, and some pics of their setup (if possible).
So if you have any experience, suggestions, or ideas please belly up to the keyboard and type away. Thanks.
