I bought 50 LEDs off of eBay for $5. I drilled into my headlights from above and glued them in. 2 circuits: High beams and low beams. 2 LEDs per headlight, 4 per circuit, so they get 3 volts each, no resistors needed.
 They look 5x better in real life. I like to drive with the High Beam ones on to show off the 6GC headlights at night. I also installed a power antenna, and I decided I needed a place to put all my switches for the High and Low Beam LEDs, Power Antenna and some spares. So I made this switch panel.  Here is some making/installing pics:

Nice work. That looks nice. What do all the switches do?
Is that hot glue for insulation? You might want to consider something else, like silicone or liquid electrical tape. Hot glue can melt in the summer heat and get brittle and crack during cold winters. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
