I'm going to light up my car with a thousand billion cathodes but before I purchase Id like to see what the red ones, orange cream, gold, white ones look like and also any other colors. Thanks guys!

 

the orange ones are not orange.........they are really not even close........sorry I have no photos......they are all on my old computer hat blew up.......

the orange are mostly the color of a 40w lightbulb..........kinda creamy but not orange...........they are however bright as heck..........

I swapped to the flexable LEDs in orange.........

One of the guys in the club has the red ones in his sunroof and they are a nice red.........sorry also no pictures..........I am worthless tonight.......LOL.

 

in the day time lol
purple cathodes... not UV



my old car...red cathodes

 

how many cathodes do you have on the purple on each side? what size? where you get them from? lookin good!

 

i had 2 12inch cathodes on each side... i got them at a computer shop...

now i changed them to blue.. i have 1 12inch tube on each side. and its pretty bright.sry dont have pics of that yet

 

why not flexible led strips john? light up a bit brighter and you can mount em a lot easier..

Purple and red seem like a good combo.


The LED strips are the way to go but aren't in my funds right now for how much i need lol.

 

what color and how much do you need john? maybe we can split an order if we're talking the same colors.

 

Something to flow with my car but something different. Either Gold to red but I dont see gold . Maybe purple, white, and red.

 

damn. not the same colors i was lookin at. though with yours, i don't think you should do red, too much red goin on.. i'd say white, good way to show off your interior. purple would be nice too, but considering the time you put into your center console, the rings around the tach/spedo n such, and the armrest, i think the white would complement them more.

... also i'm pretty sure someone already did a purple/red theme i wanna say his SN started with a Z but i'm not sure.

 

Hmm white is a good way to go on the interior. I g2 do some planning! lol

 

wow! how did you get your red cathodes so bright?? I have red cathodes in my tC and they are not even half as bright as yours. Heres a crappy pic:

 

Here are mine.


Heres some on the outside:

 

so how much does it cost to light up just the interior floor in the front? Would I need a 12" kit for each side and where do the switches go?

 

I bought all my stuff from Oznium. Great service, any type of DIY lighting I chose to do, I always buy from them. My interior consists of 4 kits. One kit has one transformer and two tubes. Two tubes in the front in each foot well = 2 kits, One tube under the seat and one between the seat of each side. one kit per a side. You could just get a switch to fit the OEM switch plates. I did that with my underbody kit. Or you can buy a switch from like radio shack. Take the switch panel out. Drill a hole through it and put the switch like that. Wiring it up is simple
Pos=

+ Battery - Switch - Lights

Ground =

Lights - Chassis (theres a great bolt behind each kick panel you can use)

Figure 7 bucks per kit. Plus wire, Plus switches, plus any tools you would need(crimp tools etc). Figure about 50 bucks.

 

so is one tube on each side enough?

 

id put one tube on each side just to do a basic setup

 

it would work. but it'd be hard to stretch the tubes that far. Theres a limited amount of room you can seperate them from the transformer. Itd be hard to get one kit for the front and REALLY hard to get one kit in the back.

 

its possible to just use one tube on each side of the front. That's how I did my lighting in my car, you just have to take the time to run the wires well
