UPDATE ON 3 W LEDs
TRUNK LITE UP AND WORKING! thats right boys, ill post pics, brighter than any other led product on the market for a trunk light plug and play

the dome light keeps overheating (regulator only takes 3Ws... i need to dissapate 5.. )
so some resoldering and that willb e good to go
projects are basically the same u need:
perf board
3W led
5V positive Regulator
2 1/2W 4.7 ohm resistors before the led after the regulator (parallel)
4 1/2W 4.7 ohm resistors (series 2 parallel) before the regulator from the power source
some thin gauge wire and MAYBE a small memory heat sink from computers
i have pics of the trunk light tho!!!
