    so i am torn between doing a diy led light or just buying them. does anybody have any regrets for doing there own led lights. or did you buy some and wish you went the diy route.

    I enjoyed building mine. Very happy. I guess it just comes down to if you like to build stuff or not.

    i fully agree with that. im a very hands on person, as a kid i always took stuff apart to figure out what was wrong with it or how it worked.
    and some how when you take anything apart epically computers you seem to have a few screws left over some how lol
