Remember all that BS about the keyring not staying on? Well I ordered 10 of these little guys and I'm using four of them to make a cool little surround for the key ring in a cross pattern and I'm also putting one in each door pull using an indirect method so the pulls can be seen at night and for some extra ambience. I'll try and submit some pics after I'm done!

Here's a lil example of the keyhole LED's. Not real lights but some crafty editing with some MS Paint. But it gives you an idea.

I can't really fake a pic of the door latch lighting. The LED's will be behind them for an indirect effect.

(and to think, I actually wanted the all black leather interior and the dark tinted windows)

Those lights are gonna be a little bigger than the ms paint mock up.... Specs are for a 5mil hole.

They Put off a bunch of light (For the size )also by looking at the data sheet

Correct on both points. My first install will be behind the door latches to see how it goes. But yea, I'm thinking I'll have to research more on the keyhole lights. The tiny ones used for security are about half the size as the 5mm ones they have on that site. Dimmer too. I dunno. Work in progress, right?
