I did this install not too long ago. I didn't do the wiring, I had a friend do it. But here is everything that you need to know about these cathodes. If you have any other question, pm the oznium guy, Phil, or go to his site and let him know you are from Scion Life and ask you question. The customer service is GREAT!!!! Phil is on top of things!

I'm not going to say the typical Search response you see a lot, enjoy this link, hope it helps:

so from reading this is what i figured out. please help if i am going in the wrong direction to put me back on track.
i am going to tap into the power on the cig lighter, splice it, and run a power line to my fuse box. after running it to the fuse box run the power to the switch. after i hit the swith run a power wire to first transformer, before the first transformer splice it to the rest of the transformers in the car. then from the cig lighter splice the ground to all the transformers. then put it alll back together and it hsould run?
PLEASE help me if i am doin it wrong.

you can skip the whole running a line to the fuse box thing... the cig lighter wiring is already fused.

everything else is a-ok

because if you pull directly from the battery, that power wire will not be fused. you have to fuse if you come off the battery

if you're that concerned about $$$ for the project, you could always *borrow* materials from autozone without the intent to return it....

but i dont condone that in the least.

does randode's kit come with a switch to turn it on/off, or does it always stay on?

lol. You guys are pathetic. If you can't afford it, don't bother. In the mean time, get a job.

Stealing for the sake of modding gives everyone who does it legitmately a bad name.
