View Full Version : Best Underdash lights
night87 03-07-2009, 01:30 AM Hey guys.
Well i want to purchase a pair (2) of Led or Neons or Cathodes or watevers
for the driver and passenger underdash.
Read some thread about the cathods from oznium
and people debating about the better fit: LEDs or cold cathodes
and some other threads about different stuff.
SO! from which site is it most reliable (w/ a good price)
and what to get?
More suggestions the better ^-^ I know there were a lot
of posts like these but help out a newbie here. thx guys.
By the way~ CEL light is now OFF. thx for those who helped
ack154 03-07-2009, 01:53 AM Check out Randode.com too. I've heard good things about his kit.
night87 03-07-2009, 02:00 AM got ya~ so it seems iss the "kit" i need to get?
KINGxOFxSKA 03-07-2009, 05:42 PM Cheapest, by far.

Drizz-OH 03-07-2009, 09:58 PM Get these + the Scion tC rocker switch. They match the dash perfectly with the amber dash and are hella bright. I would highly recommend them. I just installed a set in my girls car 2 weeks ago and they're amazing.

night87 03-07-2009, 10:01 PM went to the svc site and looking into it. for Drizz-OH, what inch did u buy for ur girls car?
can the 4.7 be good enough?
Drizz-OH 03-07-2009, 10:11 PM Oh I'm sorry about that. I got 2 9.5" strips. IDK when I'll see her next but I'll try and get some photos so you can see.
night87 03-07-2009, 10:23 PM thx thx ^-^
SquallLHeart 03-09-2009, 04:57 AM went to the svc site and looking into it.
get whatever you want there..
svc is a great site... a pair of 12" cathodes for like $6?? hell yea.
night87 03-09-2009, 05:11 AM now i asked oznium if the kit was all i needed, but
i needed to get the fuse WITh the adapter and came out around 17~18.
Now for the ones in svc, the kit, is that all that i need for those?
first time so help will be thankful ^^
SquallLHeart 03-09-2009, 05:17 AM another switch and a fuse would be a good idea.
but nothing else that any cathode kit wouldn't need. find switch at home depot or lowes, a fuse.. whatever you wanna use
wire it up.
night87 03-09-2009, 05:25 AM hmm...will buy a switch at a local store than. ordered the oznium kit with the atc fuse. if i knew earlier about svc, maybe couldn've done that, but too late haha
night87 03-09-2009, 05:30 AM ok.so basically, i can buy the other stuffs locally. correct?
SquallLHeart 03-09-2009, 05:39 AM pretty much.
Drizz-OH 03-09-2009, 10:18 PM FYI, I had cathodes that were for a computer in my car previously to my purchases from Oznium and they sucked. I have red ccfl's in my car and amber led strips in the gf's tC. The parts I recommended to you from Oznium will make for a very clean and easy install. It'll probably be about $30 for the whole setup including shipping, but IMO it's worth it knowing you'll never have to change them. And the tC rocker switch is great. Fits great and looks factory.
night87 03-09-2009, 11:37 PM darn. I actually just orderd from svc. Let me see how it goes and i'll get back to you ^-^
SquallLHeart 03-10-2009, 12:05 AM cold cathodes were originally made for computer case mods... even oznium's setup really is for a computer..
where'd you get your cathodes that you're complaining about drizz?
the rocker switch is nothing more than a gardner-bender gsw-45
it is NOT an OEM switch, and it was certainly not made for our car... merely a switch that was manufactured that people found to fit nicely in our switch panel.
night87 03-10-2009, 02:46 AM muhahaha so b/c of squallheart, which helped me a lot from clubsciontc, i just ordered it from svc. Thx man~
Drizz-OH 03-10-2009, 05:25 AM cold cathodes were originally made for computer case mods... even oznium's setup really is for a computer..
where'd you get your cathodes that you're complaining about drizz?
The first cathode kit I ordered was from VibeLights. They looked great for a few weeks, then started to die. I love the ones I have from Oznium though. I have red 12" in front and rear and they look great.
Hmmmmm....I've had cathodes for a while for the underdash, and I'm about to go to LED's...I'm hoping it will be the right choice
night87 03-10-2009, 01:20 PM heard some great things about LEDs too. I think it will look fine :)
GQQSE13 03-10-2009, 02:32 PM i bought mine from ledunderbody.com
Joyride 03-10-2009, 09:50 PM Oznium Flexible LEDS ftw.
night87 03-10-2009, 11:11 PM i'll post up some pics or something after I install these. Gonna take awhile b/c my first time
night87 03-12-2009, 11:26 PM So i got the cold cathodes from svc but a slight problem. the wiring (yellow, white, red) is all computerized (set-up) so I don't know what to do and don't know what to exactly get. Anyone wanna hit me up and help me? 8184800473
