I replace my switches with LED toggle switches, make the job much easier

I have an abundance of those blue LED strips, we've been fitting out a drum show, this is going to be the Yamaha stand, there were 2 x 5m lengths of blue LED strips, and about 1.5m spare when we finished the job so I nabbed them...



I've been toying with the idea of making some sort of feature in the boot with a recessed tool kit in the boot lining floor panel etc, so I think I'll use them on that.

They're bloody bright too!
