I know if I would have used the multi directional LED's it would look better. I still need to do some tweaking on it & check to see if all the bulbs are working ok. But for now this will work. I got 20 LED's on eBay for $15 + free shipping. So I'm happy with it.
I have done a few of those.. get yourself some HVAC duct tape. the shiny kind that they wrap the actual ducting with. makes for a great reflector. line the inner walls with it and the light will passed around the inside the cluster much better. looks good though
