Old Lamp Converted To LED

A while ago I bought a couple rolls of LED strips for my car and couldn't think of what to do with the leftover until I finally decided to stop paying $5.00 at a time for bulbs in my lamp that burn out every 2 weeks.  

Its a fairly even conversion, and it turned out pretty well.

Step 1: Planning

You'll Need:
  A Lamp
  LED's 
  Wire
  Soldering Iron

I already had some LED strips, but if you don't have any LED's you can get a 16' strip on amazon for very cheap.

Check out your lamp and decide how and where you want to run the wiring for your LED Strips. I decided to use the original wiring and just tie a DC 12v adapter into it.  (The reason for the 12v DC is because the strip I bought was set up to run in my car on 12v.  Most LED's Run on 1.5V - 3V)
