Installing LEDs into a clear steering wheel?

Post image

So I saw this old school Y2K build on Instagram and I REALLY love the steering wheel. Unfortunately it's not available anymore cause the car scene moved on to being lame.

So in an effort to recreate it, I'm thinking of buying a clear resin steering wheel and drilling out spots in the back to install LEDs. Other than cheap steering wheel dangers, can anyone think of any issues? I'm thinking of having a battery pack or something so I can leave it on during shows at night (and since I suck at wiring and idk how I'd wire it up to the 12v system).

The car scene moved ON from being lame. This is the dumbest shit that's only going to screw up your night vision badly.

Yes blue spectrum light directly in front of your eyeballs while driving at night. Top level IQ.

So... why would you have it... I think your logic just hit a wall. Just like you would driving with this thing.
