Smile My First Mod

So...my car is officailly a week old as of today, and to celebrate, I'm doing my first Mod!! YAY!

After discussing with my hubby to be (as he IS the one that'll probably actually DO the mod) I've decided that I'm going to install LED's to light up my bud vase to match the interior blue color! Hope all goes well. I'll post picture when I'm done.

I do have a question though, since this requires me splicing some wiring, do you think I should disconnect the battery, or is it enough to just turn the car off? Don't want my honey to get zapped!!

When my hubby and I did Evilina's budvase . . . .I don't think we disconnected the battery. Just made sure the car was off. Congrats on your first mod and can't wait to see pic!

Agreed, when I did the wife's budvase, there was no need to disconnect the battery...but then I'll put up a ceiling fan with the breaker on too...
