This is my first time posting pics on a forum, hope I did it correctly,

There is much more to come with my tC, this is just the first step. Lemme know what you think....

fixed the pics for ya

 

How much did that run ya... and how does the electrical wiring work? Does it tap the cigarette lighter wires?

 

I got the neons through a friend of mine who owns his own home audio/car audio company (http://stereointegrity.com/), so they were wholesale $5, the rocker switch came from advance - $6, other than that you need a way to tap into a hot and a ground under your dash, we used a female crimp connector and a ring terminal you could get a radio shack. The neons will be twice as expensive ad advance or somewhere so you're looking at about $20.

The kit comes with a ciggarette ligheter adapter, we cut that off so the rocker switch could be used. The rocker switch has three male prongs you connect to. You twist the ground wire from the neons up with the ground from the car and connect that to the ground on the switch. The load on the switch gets connected to the hot wire from the neon, and the power on the switch gets connected to the 12v supply from the car. Make sure you're 12v supply and your ground from the car still work when you turn on the headlights, and you're good to go. Or you could just plug it into your cigarette lighter

But that doesn't look near as good as what we did. If my buddy hadn't been helping, I would have been lost.

 

thanks for fixing the pictures!

 

no problem man.

 

lol is that a beer bottle in the cup holder? :D

 

haha looks like it.

 

this might be a stupid question but how do you change the color on the stock radio

 

yes yes, i admit, beer was consumed during the install, to be exact, it was Beck's in the cupholder, however, St. Pauli Girl and Mr. Heiniken were also involved. Shhhh...... every install is better with beer....

 

The upgraded IPOD radio changes colors.. I'm not sure if the stock one does.

You inspired me to order a kit and put some cold cathodes in.. we'll see how that goes. Was your setup difficult to mount? I heard people are using zip ties to hold them up but I'm curious what they are tying them to.

 

wow ur looks pretty dim compared to mines







I did the back seats too but forgot to take pics.... OH I recently installed some green bulbs too so now i have a switch that changes the colors between green and blue

all of this costed me only $50 but a butt load of time to install...

 

yeah we were going for the understated look, i like the brighter ones too, maybe i'll switch em out one day for some bigger bulbs. The cool thing is that the larger tubes just plug right in to the module that is under the center console, a 5 minute swap.

i do like your cup holder LEDs though, thats tight.

 

how easy is it to make your own cup holder light setup instead of getting it from scion? ....where are the bulbs mounted?

 

I just got purple 9-inch StreetGlow neons installed in the front. They are very bright, but because I had them done at hifibuys, they ran me $120 for lights + labor (2 hours).

You guys should get some pedal covers now - the shinier the hotter. It makes them even more noticeable.

 

tekka what kind of lights did you use
