Celica symbol LED project - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #65890 13 posts Started by NewOrleans
When i first got my celi earlier this year and found out what its symbol was and i saw a pic of it I had this idea. This could go 2 ways in which one way I would mount it on the hatch cover and use it as another brake light OR use a circut that I build that would make the entire thing light up and pulse to the bass of my music(i have 2 12's in the hatch). Here are some pics of the board with the holes in it. It will have a total of 159 LED's and the color is up for debate. Lemme know what you think so far
Also if you want more pics just tell me i can have em up in a sec.



Man, that's actually a pretty cool idea. I would do something different though. Depending on what radio your car came with, there is a little storage box beneath it. I would resize the board and mount the LED's in it, and mount it in place of that storage box, wired up so it comes on with the parking lights.

Kinda reminds me of that old toy called Light Bright lol
I think you'd have something better looking with electroluminescent foil (EL Foil) with a plotter cutted vinyl applied over it.
