None of my wiring is finished yet. I had a 6" LED bar in the storage area but all the light was trapped inside. I bought all my LEDs at Target or Walmart, most on sale, real cheap. Even my cupholders.

I just put a led bar without the tube behind the AC controls, a cold cathode would be better. Pull the yellow condoms off the lights that are there...

Wait til you see my lift gate. gotta finish helping my friend fix his Honda window... Then I'll post the rest of my pics...

i have the quad splitter too. since im broke, i have to go with the k-mart lights. i only have two lights right now but im goin ot get two more for the back.

you should aslo watch out where you put that splitter box. i almost got my warranty on my A/C voided because of it. the box was in the way of some wires and they gave me alot of crap for it.

Haven't seen anything in Orange in my travels except some small ones at Radio Shack and they're just a lamp and an orange cover.

You could try a red or white and cover them with diffusion gel or something. Just a thought...

I got the Momo floorplates at http://www.modacar.com - about $90 for the pair. When those LEDs hit that brushed aluminum, they really glow. Trying to find something that looks similar but smaller for the back seats, but can't bring myself to spend another $90...

And I fixed the wiring, at least in PhotoShop

Thanks, M@, that means a lot coming from The Master.

Munch, can't wait to see what you got cookin'. That's one of the things I love about the Scion culture, as helpful as we all are with each other, there's also this competitive spirit to bust an original mod before someone beats you to it.

That's what inspired me to do the liftgate. When I was at the Palo Alto meet, I noticed noone had modded their liftgates with anything, not even speakers. It got the wheels a turnin and I came up with this: (in case you didn't see my other mod) :twisted:
