Icon10 Toolbox and Under Hood Lights!!! PICS!

So I did some playing around... Since I'm a LED *****, I did a few things...

I bought the lights on ebay for like $15 a pair shipped and I bought 2 of them...

Here's the toolbox lights when I got them with the original LEDs (switch is on a push button right inside the box):

And here's with the 55,000mcd LEDs I bought and replaced the originals with:

Now for the under hood lights, I didn't put them in until I had the 55,000mcd LEDs in the housing to save time... So I did that the other night and then this morning put everything in... You can see the red switch right in front of the batter:

And just the the heck of it... This is what they look like out of the package:

Hey thanks guys, for all the compliments! It was literally a hour mod lol...

Anyways, here's the link... There's 2 different kinds from the same place..

Here's the ones I bought

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=its%3DS%252BI

And here's the bigger brother to those ones... Wish I would have seen these when I originally bought mine... They were hard to track down as it was!!

They look really nice on the tool box set up debating whether or not I want to order some. I have a gullwing tool box so it may be worth it. Other wise once I put my cover on behind the toolbox a way to light up the bed a little bit with the cover on.
