[Eclipsor]

You lazy focker!!! Twist & tape.... wtf.

Do it once, do it properly, DO IT YOURSELF!!!


serious note: If you are lazy and only want to twist em, put heatshrink around them instead of tape. Tape is for panzies.

Looks good though.

is there any way to do it so you can twist lock it?
how about a circular drill (similar to drilling a hole for a door handle)?

Yeh man. Heat shrink is a rubber lookin stuff you can thread the wires through before you wind them together. Once you wind them together (or solder if your tuff :P) you place the heatshrink over the join and then you heat it up with a lighter/match or even a soldering iron. It then shrinks around your join holding it together better and keeps it insulated from the other wires so it can't short and cause an electrical fire or somethin.

Cheap stuff to buy. You can get it from any electrical store like tandy's, dick smiths etc.

Good work tho man. I'm not baggin ya.

No we didnt need to use tape at all, only to cover up the wires again,
This is what i had and used to cut out the shape of the bulb holder.


Its a Dremel multi purpose rotary tool, i also have the 150 piece kit with it, so its pretty handy.
