who are the anime nerds that do this to PCs anyway?

Who are the ricers that do this to their cars anyway?

Anyway, I'll be doing this for sure under the hood and in the trunk.

tried this a long time ago....

these things look really sleek. i did this to my friends 03 camry. i just cut the molex connector off and soldered more wire so he could still move his seat as much as he wanted. then i went and got a battery pack and a switch and wired from the inverter to the switch then to the battery pack and tucked all the wires away as best i could. lasted for a while. but my friend being the messy guy he was, let some cans of soda roll around underneath his seats and the cathodes cracked. eitherway this was a good write up. now that i got some cash on hand im either gonna go with the cathodes or with some LEDs underneath the driver and passenger seats as well as underneath the dash pointing towards the pedals.

bright ass!

[Hijikata]

do u have to have an amp to do this or is there an alternative way.

[npor]

nah man, what i did, was i just clipped the light for my ash tray, and wired it all to thoes 2 wires. worked like a charm.

[Hijikata]

hmmmm ill have too check into this, i wonder what color would look good with the stock red/maroon interior. oo i dont know if anyone has seen it before but you can get some pc lights that look like they have water in them so it makes the light look like its shining through water, its pretty sick.

*raises hand*

AIR is probably one of the best anime series ever. Heh. Well, next to Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, anyway...

Anime rocks.

Anyway I had a computer decked out with lights and stuff but I traded it off for my CB...

Let me see if I have this right... you get the cathodes, you splice the wires, lengthen them with speaker wire... gah I'm so confused! I know nothing of electronics!

But I want to do this so badly!!!


How do you wire them to a switch? And how to wire the on-off switch to the car's power source? Do you wire it to the battery? Like, directly to the battery? WTF?!?!

*head explodes*

[Hijikata]

well from what i have understand, there is a light for your ash tray and you i guess splice the cathode light into that, or you just completely wire the cathode into that and forget the ash tray light, ill check this out probably thursday after tropical storm ernesto passes over, unfortunately tomorrows a complete waste cuz this thing is affecting me all day........

[increaseBLu3]

I'd wire it up to a toggle switch so I could turn them on and off whenever I wanted to.

How would I go about doing that? There's gotta be a way!

[Hijikata]

now granted i havnt needed to wire a switch in a good year or so, it should depend on how the switch is set up but it should be no problem at all.

[Shippo]

Just an FYI be careful with cheapo Cold Cathode lights, some have caused fires.

[sirs1ayer]

can you splice them to the switch for your headlights and shit. so when you turn the lights you turn the cathodes on. because i don't want em runnin when i don't have the lights on pretty much.
i might go look under my car and check.
but can i just splice the wires in for the lights right there after the lever thing?
or do i need to use it somewhere else?
