i was just wondering if any one tried with a black base case? Because this is white and the light obviously is looking better.

This is a cool idea, besides who doesn't have these lying around. Question though how do you get it to change colors back and fourth like that?

Resistor is 470 ohms for 12 volt suplay,and 220 ohms for 6volt suplay

mikedoth says:

WOW! Such a simple idea but so effective. Using the cloudy plastic as a diffuser for the LED. Mega-neat!
