After completing my Juke footwell \/ glove box LED mod<\/a>, I decided that the footwell LEDs just were not bright enough. \u00a0 I came across these Optek 3 LED white lights<\/a> from Newark that have just the right white light and luminosity. \u00a0These LED bars are built tough. \u00a0The LEDs appear to be set in a hardened liquid plastic. \u00a0Wires run in one end and out the other – it seems that these strips were built as a series set of 3x LED bars and cut to order. \u00a0I ordered 2 and both were joined together. \u00a0Before installing them above the footwell area, I had to do something about the white. \u00a0 After masking off the LEDs, \u00a0I gave them a few coats of Plastidip to make them black.<\/p>\n

I am impressed with the end result. \u00a0I was after something that would provide nice white light when I am looking for something down in the footwell area during the dark… \u00a0They cast a bright wide swath of light to illuminate the entire footwell area. \u00a0They also cast enough light to see under the seats as well.<\/p>\n

Illumination with the Optek 3x LED Bar:<\/p>\n
