Dodge Ram 1500 with underglow and working headlights

[undone hinge]

Happy Birthday @undone hinge

[undone hinge]

lmfao a bit late but thanks

[undone hinge]

basically I completely took it apart, added pixels to the underside and glued ws2812b-mini pixels to the headlights from the inside

[wide elm]

Where did you get the car

And how hard was it

[undone hinge]

it's a 1:27 scale model from NEX

[fathom niche]

He got it as a b'day gift 👍

[undone hinge]

well actually the brand is Welly, but nex is the product lineup

[wide elm]

Hmm I’m not a big car guy but I wanna be one

I’m thinking of doing the led lights to a m8 bmw

But tbh idk if I can take it apart and be able to put it back together

[undone hinge]

oooo I love the 8 series

[wide elm]

Ikr, my brother got a m3i

[undone hinge]

depends on the model you get, some just have a few screws and others are glued/clipped in place

I was lucky that there were just 3 screws

[undone hinge]

M3i?

[fathom niche]

Atleast he had someone turn up with a gift of love 😍😍
Once you are older,
Some would be limited to be wished by family only,
That too would be very dependant on who remembers your special day.
A bitter truth of growing older,
Not for OP but an expensive experience which comes with age 👍

[undone hinge]

yeah I'm really glad that I have people that actually remember my birthday haha

[undone hinge]

yeah was about to say, I love those

[wide elm]

Ye it parks itself and stuff

Altho I do wish it has a feature to record the outsides

[undone hinge]

I drove a 320e Touring with the M package a few days ago, it's not that special but it's so much fun

might not have that much power but you can definitely drift... (in a company vehicle 💀)

[fathom niche]

So very happy to see you having those caring friends,
May god bless you with more and more of such b'days 🙏🙏

[wide elm]

Lmao

Drifting in a company vehicle

[undone hinge]

haha thanks yeah I already threw a party with a friend, was pretty big

[wide elm]

I’m actually gonna have mines in a couple days

[undone hinge]

yeah and it's marked with the logo 💀

[undone hinge]

M8?

[wide elm]

Na birthday

[undone hinge]

oh hahaha

and do you already have a model of the M8?

[wide elm]

Na, only that m340i

[undone hinge]

ah okay

well I'm a huge fan of underbody lighting, I added that to my scooter like a year ago

[wide elm]

I’m going to add some under my bed soon

I ordered the leds and stuff

And then I’m gonna add under my desk too

[undone hinge]

very nice, which ones?

#showcase-old message this was the scooter btw

[wide elm]

That looks so cool

[undone hinge]

very nice I basically have my entire room filled with hidden LEDs as well, including my bed and under the desk

[wide elm]

Where else did you put yours? I wanna add more but idk where

[undone hinge]

what kind of strips? do you know that?

[wide elm]

Not sure, it was recommended to me by this sever

[undone hinge]

so around my entire bed, under my big desk, behind my monitors and the dodge ram of course... I also made a small project with custom PCBs a while ago that basically are wearable LED glasses

[wide elm]

Here’s more specs

[wide elm]

Yea I might but one behind my monitor and tv

[undone hinge]

#showcase-old message those are the glasses

[wide elm]

Wow those look cool

[undone hinge]

ok so most likely ws2812b, great choice

[undone hinge]

thanks 🙏 designed the PCB completely by myself and printed a frame

I even made a newer version with better power delivery and looks

[wide elm]

I could never do that stuff, I’m too bad at hand work

[undone hinge]

that's what I thought 2 years ago as well

[wide elm]

And complicated diy stuff I’m terrible at

[undone hinge]

you just learn it while doing it

[wide elm]

I see

[undone hinge]

ah right and I added lighting to our cabinets that only turns on when the doors are opened

[wide elm]

I also thought of adding some near my curtains

[undone hinge]

above?

[wide elm]

Yea or at the side

[undone hinge]

I mean I don't know how it would look in your case but I would definitely do them above

[wide elm]

Yea I would do it on the white curtains

[undone hinge]

ah okay nice, will be a pain to hide the wires though
