+etannert Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm in the midst of doing something like this for actinic supplementation on my Solana, using car LEDs from AutoZone. The ones I got are heat and water resistant and come with 3M tape already mounted on the back. I haven't done the power adaptor yet, I may hit you up if I need help! Yours look good!

mFrame Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I did something like this years ago using sealed blue computer case mod lighting. For about .99c each you can get 1' fixtures that are watertight. Awesome mods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
