dude check out mcgeorge or the other guy (something like trd parts) they have the same stuff the dealers have but marked down pretty decent and if they keep the business it keeps the price low

even mcgeorge + trdsparks are still overpriced for what oyu get. you get 2 light bars, and some led's for the cupholders. about 15 dollars worth of stuff max, and they charge a couple hundred bucks for it. please.... profit on that setup is 1500%.

you can get the same setup plus more from autozone or something (like my favoritest vendor in teh world, oznium) for like 50 bucks and install it yourself. even including the cost of wiring, connectors and such, it;ll still come out at least 100 bucks less

get the cold cathodes from OZNIUM ( www.oznium.com ) 6.50! for 2 cathodes and a transformer!! unbeatable! and you can get a better selection of colors. they have them in 4" and 12" i have 12 cathodes lol. 6 blue and 6 white (8 of each are 12" and 4 are 4") i have 2 blue under the dash, 2 whites in the door pockets, blue in top vent, white in cubby whole. and im thinkin about puttin white under the seats so the white and blue clash into each other. then im gonna figure out where to put the others lol, i got 2 12" blue, 1 4" blue, and 2 12" whites and 1 4" white that i dont know where to put (well im gonna put the 2 whites under the seats so i know where they are goin) i just need time and i need to buy ~3 more transformers. wihc are about 2 bucks each!

Can you turn the LEDS on and off or are they always on?
