ANYWAYS, this projects gone thru some many iterations..

right now, I have the wheels, grill, and angel eyes all tied together on a solid state relay thats grounded to the dome light. it lights up white when i lock and unlock the car. I have briefly looked into setting up a micro controller to rotate the colors actively while minimally consuming power, but honestly havent messed with it. as far as LED longevity, I run these things every day on my dail and the only issue I have is one of the wheels 3 of the LEDs light up yellow instead of white now. stripe needs to be replaced.. havent done it.. BUT I am getting a garage FINALLY this month, so Ill have an easier time doing projects as I will have space.
