    You could also just cut the FORD out of some plexiglass and back light it with a couple LEDs....

    How about a shadow box design, a silver Ford decal logo on Plexiglas and blue leds set into the bottom a shallow box so they send a back-lighting effect upwards and shine thru the Ford logo? Or just mounted flat on the sub box and the leds sandwiched between the plexi and box, also some type of reflective material on the sub box side.

    The brightness of a standard led can be reduced by increasing the ohms resistance of the in-line resistor.

    Well the more I think, Im startin to like the shadow idea but 1 rule, it has to be above the wood on the box.
