LED cup holder rings

Has anyone purchased these? Is it worth it? How do they look during the daytime?

Does anyone have any ideas if i wanted to make my own? Can you buy plastic cylinders that could be cut into rings, Then drill holes for the leds? Any ideas where to get that from?

Wow, $35 for one ring? Looks nice. But talk about getting stroked.

Ya no dought. Thats why im looking into trying to make them in my spare time.

35 bucks each is a joke. I priced having them made last year and for 20 of them they cam to 7 dollars each and I still needed the light which can be had from many on line retailers for around 30 bucks to do all of them.. Unless that guy is going to give you one heck of a discount for ordering 12 plus rings I would say out source them..

So what did you have priced out for 20 of them? Just the plastic rings? where was that at? Did you look around for a cylinder that was a foot long then cut them to size?

Were they red or clear?

They were quoted from 5/8 acrylic.. they were clear and for 20 of them they were 140 bucks.. the leds i sourced for super bright and was 30 dollars for the length I needed.

I was wondering if anyone has seen these before on ebay. Do you think they would be bright or even work? They are cheap so who knows.

Has anyone put LED's in the bottom of the cup holder (under the cup holder faceing up)so when you put a drink in the holder it would light up that color?

Would you have to drill another hold so you would still have a drain hole and another hole for the led? anyone have pics of this?

I was at Walmart and saw some LED lights on a tape strip in the automotive section. 12V it said on the package.

I don't know the quality but they were cheap!
