light me up in led

it had been a tough struggle, controlling the itch.

so after my clt paper last friday, i drove down to meet maverick to finally get fiona a new set of interior lighting!

we drove down to sunshine plaza, to get the lights. while waiting for parking we were pleasantly surprised by a nice malay dude driving a vintage beetle who passed us his parking coupons which were not fully used up before driving off. saved me a buck!

we went into the store and got two 90cm led strips for the rear. the plan for the cockpit lights was to use one 18 led board for each side. unfortunately, they only had one left, so we shelved the plan for after my exams.

after that it was back to maverick's place to pick up his tools and meet his menagerie of dogs. some interruptions in between (maverick had to submit his project) and we were in a mscp near clementi, fixing up the lights!

it was a chop chop job. kudos to maverick for his expertise. i did nothing, he did all the installation. so from a diy it became a gftd (get friend to do). and the end result?


a day-time view.


a semi-lit view. why oh why is my mscp so brightly lit?

anyways, i will endeavour to get a nice pic of it in dim light asap. it really looks damn chio at night - maverick and his gf will attest to it!
