That looks great! But I found out when making my angel eyes that actual sunlight washed out my LED's. So, I have to ask, how bright is your setup in broad daylight?

Again, that was some very nice and detailed work!

That's an insane amount of wire wrapping. Are there any specific reasons you didn't just print your own PCB?
