I'm taking out the clear diffuser and shoving two 4 inch cold cathodes in there. Unfortunately, they don't make the replacement bulb in pink, so I have to go to other measures. The cold cathode method looks good and evenly lit from what I've seen. |

| I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I picked up some extra white LEDs to experiment with. I wanted to try using glass paint on them to make more custom colors like pink. I’ve tried going to two different craft stores and managed to time it when they were remodeling and out of stock. (Seriously, what are the odds?)
One of the boxes in my club has pink lights so I’ll need to figure it out eventually.
Has anyone else already tried this? | |

so now autolumination is selling like 3 versions of this... you're going to want the middle choice.... cuz i got the middle one and biggest one, and the biggest one is a flathead, not phillips like stock... and its too big...
but its cool to have my SN mentioned in this DIY... yay me! Quote:
