You drill into the cup holder... a little smaller than the actual led and slide the led in there and glue it down. Pretty straight forward.

it's not glued.

they are pointed at a 45 degree angle into the cupholder

you really want to know how they're installed?

yeah, i set up mine different as well, i actually have four leds, two per cupholder in the front. i placed two leds on the bottom! and two on the sides, (the main thing you wanna look at , is that they do NOT cause any glare in your passenger's eyes, and more importantly, in your eyes. but having the ones on the bottom , when lit, create a water effect on my roof! which is pretty awesome, and the side ones, light up the bottles. they are all placed as close to the driver and back seat as they could get. i will try to post pics.......

hey so what kind of wiring do we use? and did you run the wire to the battery? or splice a close by wire. if so which wire near the cup holder is 12v?

and last question. does it turn on when we turn on the car and off when we turn off the car?

the way i did it and kev did it is about the same. we just got a OEM swtich and ran it to the fuze box and the other to the led wires. i put a fuze between the switch and the fuze box and then i use telephone wire as the ground and the power for the leds since they dont pull so much power. its not really that hard to do. i still have like 8 or 10 more leds toput into my car. i have 4 in the cup holder, 3 under the foot well of the passanger and 2 under my footwell.
