I was bored... and this was the outcome.

I used 8 5mm LEDs, solder, lots of hot glue, and put foil down underneath to create light reflection.

Used a dremel to cut the hole out and the jewel is laser cut.

;)

p.s. Leave rice comments at the door, I did this purely for fun I never do this type of stuff at all. I own a darn completely stock civic. :p

i like how you're not afraid to ruin your fine entertainment systems by making them really ugly. somebody has to take a stand against conformist video game agendas!

It's not very creative to go to an xbox mod site, order some stuff and install it. Really, it's not.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't. There's a few of you I like but really this place is such a crapfest that there's little incentive to do nice things anymore..

Pretty nice, but can you turn off the LEDs when you want to? Like some A/V equipment, bright lights can be distracting during music/movie playback or gaming...just curious.
