Looking for some local (Everett) elecitrcal assistence!
So, I'm a complete eletronics newb.
Well, recently purchased a few eletronic goodies. Inferno Flowlightning underbody, 2x cold cathode tubes, and some LEDs for gauge/console swapping.
Now, I'm pretty sure I can do the soldering without a whole lot of issues (just need to find myself a magnifying glass so I can be precissseee)
but I'm fairly stuck on the cold cathode tubes and their wiring and on how to mount the front and rear parts of the flowlighting kit.
So I'm looking for some assistence/guidance/instruction/help whatever you want to call it in the installation of said equipment.
Why would anyone want to help me, you may be asking?
Well...
A) I can pay
B) I'm old enough to buy alcohol
From what I've seen, those two reasons should get me far. I'm up in the Everett area and willing to drive (not out of state though..). So if anyone is interested in providing some assimististance, reply here or toss a PM and we'll get in contact ^_^

Check the Tech Section here(link in sig) i believe there are a couple DIY how to's for cathode installs....
as for underbody lights... im not familiar with the brand you bought.. or the underbody of a tC... but im guessing if its like a xB.. probably will be useing zip ties to secure the front and rear light bars to the car... running wires are the fun part of that..lol... you should be able to find a few existing rubber gromets in the underbody, wheel wells etc to run the wires from outside to inside w/o having to drill into the body/frame..
next 2 weekends i'm pretty tied up... but will see what can be done.. .and who knows.. maybe sooner than laters some1 will post up to do a "install" day in the near future... then can just show up to that and have a group of people help w/install
