ok fellas heres how i do the light up logos. im sure there may be a better way of doing it, but this is effective. this will be a logo thatll fit donyukons nbs console if he decides to get it

i took some lexan and sanded it with my da sander and 180 grit paper. then i applied a sticker to it to work as a template

i painted it with a can of trim black paint and pulled the sticker off

from there the easiest way to install from there is to hot glue it into the console or a two part epoxy

I had the lights in my toolbox from a previous project that never left the ground lol. Also if you cut them in half you can solder some wires on the leftover piece and reuse it. That gets 4 uses out of a pack
