wondering how people mounted the cathode/neons unger their seat? i tried velcro.. no luck... please help. i got cathodes from oznium.. they are greaty! just need 2 know how 2 put them under my seats! thanks

 

Because of the motion of the seats, you will NEED 2 transformers. From there, align your cathodes under the seat the way you want. Then, make to incisions on either side of the tube at the ends so you can wrap a ziptie around it and zip it down (wire facing towards the doors). From there, on each tube, attach the transformers and put the transformer under the elastic section of the seat. From there, run the wires into a drilled hole on the side of the center console, in which the wires can converge into a unified source/ground wire.

That's how I did it.

 

ill check that out. right now they are not in the way of anything but won't stay put. thank you

 

there was a topic on this with pictures not too long ago, gimme a couple minutes and i'll try to find the post and pictures. it required cutting of the fabric

 

duh

it was a stickey on it

there are more pictures on the topic but i'm too lazy to post em all

hope that helps![/img]

 

I just did mine this morning.

Your going to need to use 2 cathodes on top of each other. If you use just one, the cloth at the back of the seat blocks most of the light.

I just ziptied the cathodes to the metal mesh stuff under the seat.

I'll take pictures tommorow afternoon when i get home from work.

it came out looking alright-

 

perfect! thanks so much!

 

why don't people do that more often they put the led's under the dash i think the cathode under the seat gets more light on front and back

 

i'll try to take some pics of my set up when i get the chance. instead of putting my back ones underneath the seats, i put it under the passsender seat where the back of your knees are. so far, no breakage.

 

i didnt use 2 transformers when i did it , but it will save you a lot of problems, i mounted my inveter underneath the armrest ....ziptied them up made small cut in the carpet for the wires

 

Well, in my case, LED blue and cathode blue don't always match, so...

 

im new to this whole cathode thing, im curious as to how it actually works and emits light.

 

way more than neons do.. and also more than leds... i replaced my interior neons w/these cathodes for half the price!

um sorry.. i still never understood what bump means.. lol. i have made so many post and still have no clue.. please inform me thank u.

 

it's just to bring the thread back to the top of the first page. I guess he wants more information!

 

ah. i get it.

 

bump for my own reference when i decide to do this in the future!

 

You guys on the East should check out Randode.com. The man is a wize when it comes to cool cathode systems. He has been pimping Scions here in Phoenix since they came out. He offers a entire, front and back, cool cathode light system with detailed instructions for installation.

 

and it also costs like 100 bucks. I put 25 LED's and 4 sets of cathodes into my car + wiring + wire cutter/stripper/crimper tool for less than 75 bucks.

In the other cathode thread there's a complete writeup that I did plus a wiring diagram. Do it yourself and save!

God, what the hell am i? A salesman
