Will you add flourescent green hubcaps to your truck as well?

 

Whoa nelly!! In my cup holder I have a worthless ash tray. Which type of F-150 does that dual cup-holder style slide out come in?? Year? I could proably find a wrecked one with exaclty what I need! Thanks in advance as always.

F-150 MAN

Open the ash tray and rip it out by the lid and your cup holders will look like these. Without the LED's

I preformed that mod two days ago and love it, my girlfirend and mother on the other hand thinK I am crazy. Oh, well think I will add a couple more just to prove that I am.

------------------
97 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 4.6L auto, Std cab/Long bed, 3.55LS rear axle, PW,PL, and PM, captian chairs w/arm rests
Sylvania Cool Blue Bulbs, Ford logo hitch and license plate, tinted windows, blackouts front and rear(w/ford logos on front blackouts),ventvisors all around, painted logos on door sills and under hood, 55w backup lights, K&N Filter, custom 4x4 emblems, cup holder/LED mod, 99 F150 Triton V8 emblems, and much more to come

 

How are you dropping the voltage to the LED's? Most require 2-2.5 volts or so. I use 900 ohm resistors to do the job. If you run 12 volts to an LED it will burn up. Thanks.

APEX, me and EvilGuy did the mod together on both of our trucks today and we used a 560ohm (I think) resistor running to two 2.1V LED's. We just went to RadioShack and the guy told us what size resistor we needed for the specific LED to bring it down from 12V. It's really easy to do and I think its cool, IMO.

When I put the LED's in mine, I bought the LED's with the resistor already inline, and they are rated for 12v. I also used green to try to match the rest of the dash lights. Here are a couple of pics of mine...

Why do you need an LED in your cup holder?

 

Because I have really dark tinted windows and at night you can't find 'em very easy...

I just didn't like the glow from the original light bulb, and the LEDs give off a more non evasive lighting.

z96,
If your windows are that dark imagine what else you can't see........

You guys actually DRINK or Eat in your Lightnings!!!!!!

 

Blue Blood, visibility out of the windows is no problem at all, so I can see just as well as the next guy.
