I recently found a way to get 100% even light distribution. It's awesome! I've been looking for a solution for over a year. Now, hot spots are a thing of the past.

Unfortunately, this one is a trade secret. If I told everyone how to do these and get em perfect, there would be no need for me to do them. As far as the hotspots go, you might want to look into some diffusing vinyl.

Yup, I'll be at the Embassy meet for sure. It's about 10 minutes from my house.

::UPDATE::

For anyone who has used this thread to do your own interior conversion, I have a change to a resistor value. The 100 ohm resistor in between the 2 leds on the driver side door controls needs to be replaced by a 220 ohm resistor. The 100 can cause the leds to be over-driven, causing a shortened life. I found this out the hard way in my personal car. Easy fix, but just a heads up.

99% sure. Whenever you're ready John, send the module to me and I can have it back in the mail same day.

Man, you should start to package all the necessary LEDs and an instruction manual on how to install them to sell and help pay your tuition.

I would certainly be interested.
