    WARNING!
    This will probably be the most useless post you have ever read! But it is meant to be that way! I guess this is what Cajun's do when bored and armed with a soldering iron! LOL!

    I was moving my TV and I cracked the LCD on my 42" LG flat screen tonight. I took it apart and the LED's in the LCD panel are really bright and good quality. So... for once I had nothing to do... so lets make a bright shop light to work on the Tacoma! LOL!

    Won't work from my LCD TV, because it is an older model with CFLs, not LEDs. :pout:
