i've had my l.e.d. underbody kit for a couple of weeks now, but my problems is this...... i don't know where to mount the tubes! can someone help me please....

i just don't want to start drilling into things that i'm not sure about. pictures would also be great!

any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Mount the sides into the side skirts. Take off the skirts and drill a few holes, then zip-tie your way to happiness. The coolest way to mount the front is in between the 2 lower grills. To do that, take off your grill, undo the bolts under there and in the wheelwells, and pop the bumper forward (it's still attached at the bottom) and mount it in there. The back should just go under the bumper with some zipties.

 

sounds good. i'll give it a try this weekend. thanks max2k.

 

I got you.

 

i have a question, is 12 inch sufficient enough to give a good glow, i mean the street glow kits are 42 and 30 inches long but the leds and cold cathode are selling are only 12 inches? right?

thanks

 

thats way too small for much of anything, they make led long tubes meant for underbody applications

 

How about putting multiple 12" cathodes on end... 4 x 12 = 48

 

there is a website that sells 24" cold cathodes. Bill

 

Rob, call me, i can walk you through it. Bill

 

no its just that i thought randodes kits were 12 inches long that people were putting on thiere scions?

 

for the interior and engine bay i believe. for under the car you want longer tubes with more protection(cathodes break if you look at them wrong).

 

Cathodes are fine for inside, outside, etc. You will have to seal them up if you want to use them outside. I wouldn't reccomend 24" cathodes though. They are going to be way too fragile.

I sell 2 12" cathodes and the transformer for $6.49 a set. $2.95 shipping.

what's up bill....good to hear from you. can you email me your #....i think i will give you a call about the led kit. after i seen that you had an led kit, i took my kit off of my durango and decided i wanted to put them on the scion. thanks a lot bill!

 

How fragile are cathods? I want them for my engine bay and interier, but if they are too fragile, like a wrong foot tap or a road bump, i would rather go led's.

Ozium do you have leds too, and would i need a transformer for those?

Yea I've got LEDs. You do not need a transformer for individual LEDs. You will need a "transformer" / brain for LED underbody kits

The cathodes will not break with a foot tap or bump, but if you throw them on concrete a few times they will break. They are extemely inexpensive and bright.

 

what i have heard was the cathodes for use as underbody lights isn't such a good idea, because there a lot more delicate that neons or l.e.d's (they break easier).

but they are cool for other places like the engine bay and interior.

i think that makes sense. but hey, i could be wrong....this is just what someone else told me.

 

Many of my customers make their own "underbody" kit with cathodes because they are inexpensive. You can get quite a nice glow for little money. They are more work to install since you have to seal them, and mount a bunch of 12" tubes instead of 3 and 4 foot tubes.

They are fine for the underbody, but I doubt I would use them on my car simply because they are not as easy as a regular neon or led underbody kit.
