Interesting...I dunno if I would like the reflection off my windshield where you have the light in where the speaker is....that would bother me....other then that I like it

Mr_scion

bBted

toybox1

where did you guys get your cathodes and how much? hard to install?

toybox1

got them from a computer warehouse near my house .... $5 a cathode

the install for all of them took a little bit of time (i had some major help from the Nor*Cal guys) ... but in retrospect there were a couple of things that could have made the install easyer. i think at this point i could get them all installed in about 2 hours.

Was it diffcult to install the rear cathodes in the trunk? :?

showpaojoe

damn, the shot from outside the front is beautiful man. but you just put the cold caths on top of the floor in the trunk? anything protecting em?

Is $11.99 a good price for 2 12" Cold Cathode Tubes with Power Inverter Kit?

What websites are people getting these from and which websites should we stay away from due to bad service?

aznr1c3bo1

wow those are really bright. nice mods.

Max2k

I was actually really interested in putting cold cathodes in my xb. Any suggestions on how to wire them up? I know that it just needs a 12v power supply and most of them come with their own inverters.

JellyBean98

Just hook up the 12 volt wire to a 12 volt wire in the vehicle whether it be a constant 12 volts if you want to turn it on even with the car off or just to an ignition wire. Take the ground wire and run it to a switch and then the other side of the switch to ground.

i got sunbeam cold cathodes off a pc site for 12.99....2 12inch with inverter

Sciontuner
