mounting the leds i used 10-24 stainless screws. i made shure that every one was away from the solder on the leds...i dont want a short happening!!! i even used a multi meter to make shure there wasnt!!! i didnt have any nylon washers to use but i would advise them so you dont have to worry...ill be upgrading these soon..but this set up does work..

i went to radio shack for some of this stuff since i didnt want to make the leds a permanent thing...just incase i wanna change the set up or put it in another set up

just a dab will do ya!!

half the lights (blues)

and the other half(whites)
