+1 on Superbrightleds.com . I have placed several orders with them and never a problem. Good prices and fast shipping.

I have tried cheaper "hong kong" leds off ebay and i was replacing them a week later.

Your engine bay looks good.

Any good degreaser on the market will work for the intial wash, make sure to pay a lot of attention to the corners and areas close to the engines.

Want it to stick for good? Hit it with laq thinner next, a wipe down then rinse with water.

Follow with a 220 grit rub down, another rinse, and final with a wax/grease remover.

For paint I use rustoleum white with a valspar hardener added. Two coats.

Weed sprayer filled with purple power, followed by a heavy power wash, wipe down with towel, drill with a wire brush, wipe down again, spray with rust oleum high heat primer, spray with rustomeum high heat paint... Seems to be very well adhered.

Royal Purple from Home Depot. Just ware gloves.
I also use rustoleum white (with a touch of almond to get the right color) with a valspar hardener added. Two coats.
