Wiring Up Piranha LED's for Iron Man

Hey guys, I'm looking to preform an IRON MAN look to my light housing using Piranha 5mm LED's. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to wire these up. I am experienced with soldering but not really working with LED's. I have no idea what I need or how to wire them up in general. Any information is appreciated.

Hey, did you already ordered those LEDs and is that your only option because i know another one you can buy which is pre wired and SMD surface mounts.

Haven't ordered them I was only considering them because I've heard they are extremely bright and reliable

Good! I heard they also bright but definitely not as reliable as you heard haha. You should get the ones from Superbrightleds.com, they're called Pre Wired SMD LD1. Same one's Breftaka and many others are using lately! Very easy wiring as long as you have some electrical skills you are golden but if you don't understand something ask the #1 Troll again.

How are any of these LEDs mounted behind the shroud? Are they siliconed in the hole or is there a special holder? Also is there room behind the shrouds for all the wiring??

I actually opted not to do them just because I have heard they burn out kind of quick due to the extreme temp put on my the HID's. But I did paint my headlight so I took it apart, and yea there is a lot of room behind the shroud. I would guess it was done using a hole big enough to pass the wires through and then just siliconed. Just a guess, since I did not pursue it.
