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

Ok cool, thanks TrkEnvy. I'll try that duct tape thingy later.
