This is truely one of the coolest light mods I've seen.
A little history:
A while back, I posted a link for John to check out. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2403
Well... he did it! Not only does it look ultra cool, but if you get up close... you'll notice how clean of a job it is. Absolutely *NO* exposed wires at all, and the acrylic is flush with the ceiling.
it does look good i saw it at the meet on sunday it looked cool

I got to see it in person last sunday night, and I must say that I was very impressed!
Looks better than the interior lights in the skyline GT-R in 2fast2furious. :D

Yeah. He basically wired/soldered Blue LEDs with resistors in groups of 3 to PC board and then used acrylic tubing to house them and also to form end-caps. Then he placed the LED endcaps on each end of shaved acrylic cylinders (cut in half length-wise so it could rest flush against the ceiling.)
He tapped into the dome light for power which required pulling down the ceiling material so he could run the wires. Quite an ambitious project to say the least, but as you can see for yourself... it looks awesome. The pictures can't really do it justice.
Again.. great job John!!
Peace,

first time i see john, he got the seat cover and fog lights...
when i asked him about future mods....he was like, "no, i didnt plan anything yet"
LOOK AT IT now.....he's probably got the nicest scion in the bay...

I have to agree with you. I love the rims, the lighting and the subtle exterior mods he did (eyebrows, fogs and that scion emblem with red letters).
