That would be outstanding. Which auto supply store did you find them at?

Good post Will!

Pay attention to the actual wavelength produced by the LEDs as well. Most common ones stay in the safe wavelengths (so much so they are sometimes ineffective at illuminating reds and oranges, but do fairly well on yellows, blues and greens). Some of them dip so deep into the UV spectrum they are very dangerous to not only the eyes, but even skin etc. with long term exposure, just like the sun or sun lamps. The real problem lies in the fact that the light output is very bright and damaging, but since our eyes don't 'see' it, it doesn't make us look away, or make our pupils constrict, from the pain of staring into a bright light.
