Map/Dome Light Dis-assembly/Phastek Performance LED Dome Light
20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-001 by VictorN07, on Flickr It's been a while friends.... I know it's been done before, but I'm itching to use my new Olympus 12 F/2.0 with the OM-D. Therefore I'm back to do a silly DIY/Review for Phastek Performance's LED Dome Light. Thanks @Chris@Phastek for the professional service. Let's get to it! Product shots Phastek incorporates dual pads for a total of 18 white LEDs 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-002 by VictorN07, on Flickr They come with double sided tape 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-003 by VictorN07, on Flickr The connector is spring loaded so I take it will fit a variety of cars 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-004 by VictorN07, on Flickr Tools: Flathead Screwdriver Blue masking tape DIY 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-005 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-006 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-007 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-008 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-009 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-010 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr If you notice on the previous picture, the assembly has one side raised. Without correcting this, the pad on the drivers side will be further away than the other side. You can insert anything (box, cardboard, whatever) to level the playing field. I used a piece of mailing envelope and wedged it under the metal clip. Simple 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-011 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-012 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-013 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-014 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-015 copy by VictorN07, on Flickr Installed pictures 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-016 by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-017 by VictorN07, on Flickr 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-018 by VictorN07, on Flickr This picture has not been altered to show light output 20130201-PhastekDomeLightDIY-019 by VictorN07, on Flickr Thoughts: + First off, it is very bright! I believe they are 5k color temperature + They fade to off like the OEM bulb + As shown above, it is very easy to install. Kit has everything + Dual pads are great for symmetry! My questions: +What do y'all think of the new camera setup?

It works, I love how it looks, and it might save like 1oz of weight. Unfortunately it doesn't add any substantial functional benefit.

I made a small cardboard box and wrapped it with some scotch tape and slipped it into place to make my surfaces, if I recall correctly, I did both sides so the pads rest against the clear screen
Edit: in the pictures above they have a little box too wrapped in blue tape |

This was super helpful for the Vicious LED kit. For anyone using that, black is your ground wire and red is power. Thanks.
