Sweet, if you didn't know though, just make you keep them out of direct line of sight. Are you going to light em up for Violet or Black light? Can't wait to see pics.

I wouldn't recommend black light. Wait till your car gets dirty your you bang some chick in the back seat. Your going to have ISSUES then. Everything shows up under a blacklight.

Yeah but UV is essentially a black light. Well the bright side of it is you'll know it if someone were drooling in your car during long trips. The down side of it is, you're significant other will find out if you've been naughty or nice. :twisted:

Yeah, depending on the wavelength and intensity they can do serious damage to your eyes.

Yeah I know what you mean by the dome lights. My wife says she can't see anything in the front or the cargo area with that one measly little light we have. I'm thinking of putting a xA dome light in the font and another xB dome light in the back. What did you use for your 2nd dome light? Where did you get it?

Thanks! :D I assume you just splice the wiring from the original dome light and just mount it to hang off the headliner? Pics would be nice.
