Would love to hear more about the installation of the LED's... did you do the work? Thinking about the LED rings that fit behind the speaker grills on my X2. Are they hard to install?

[rmarsden1]

yes did all of the work-

not to bad if you use high quality led strips- a little work with the dremel and patience

my approach was quite different than the led rings- by using the strips they fire into the cones so the whole speaker lights up- i used RGB's - more wires but a lot more options on control

i plan on doing a how to later in the summer when i get some time

Looks Grreaat!
Need to ask, what's used for the forward spot lights - Are they LED?
They look good. As long as water patrol doesn't think it's too much.

It was hard to see the swim platform, but I'd like to do that for sure with strip type.

Some docking LED key side lights would be nice for on/off loading at bumper edge.

Under water LED is insane price still.
