some picture of the install, took me almost 4 hours to trace the right wires and get everything working, these are just a few of the many steps and a few of the finised product - i'm adding 2 more 6" tubes and will post some new pictures of how the trunk looks when i get those in!

damn, damn, damn! you beat me to it! that is exactly what i was going to do. it looks great though. are the lights on a switch? or on all the time?

Besk_one

the lights are wired to the dome light circut coming from the switch on the trunklid so whenever someone opens the trunk (or a door) the lights go on along with the dome light!

that looks really cool. nice work

looks tight....where did you buy the parts from, and can you give a list of parts?...thanx

it's basicly two 6" Cold Cathode Flourecent Lights with inverters (you need 2 inverters)

but this week i'm adding 2 more tubes to make it brighter (2 on each side, i have dual output inverters)

you also need some wire, some shrink tubing, electrical tape, some velcro tape, hot glue (or zip ties), a working understanding of electrical theory and a whole lot of time to make it stealth and clean.

You can get the lights at http://svc.com

everything else at a hardware store.

Cool lighting mod. Thanks for sharing the wiring info.

get a volt meter tho before you start back there, i forget which wire is the 12v and which is the ground circut for the dome light switch - you'll know the ground because it will read 12v when the switch is off, and ground when the dome light is on (sounds weird, but trust me the wires are behind the switch so it seems backwards but it's not)

scionara

it looks like you got the ground hooked up to the red wire and the hot wire on the blue wire.

ya i know, but it's allways best to double check, just in case, don't want anyone frying their stuff because of me

<shameless plug> i have kits in stock </shameless plug>

Besk_one

or pm randy and get a pre wired kit for under your seats

randy are you going to be producing a trunk kit too? if so i'd be gald to help you design it

it's a little more complex than the underseat install but in a kit form it should only require stripping some insulation from 2 wires, shrink tubing them and wrapping the harnass back up and running the wires across the trunk!

i may develop a trunk kit if there is enough interest.
