There is a plug in the center console that you can use, I believe it's a 4 prong plug where the green wire is for the parking light circuit.. For safty precautions use a multi meter to test. It will read 12v+ with the parking switch on.

I think I will proabably just go with these for the deal. But I don't know what to do with 20 of them. I am thinking 1 in each of the front four vents (4) and one on each of the door handles (4) that gives me a total of 8 used and leaves 12 left...

Anyway got any other suggestions on where to put the remaining 12 because I don't like to waste things. I am going to get the amber ones (close enough to orange) if for some reason that matters for strategic placing.

I already have the cup holder illumination...and I want to install them in places where the bulb itself isn't sticking out in the open for people to see. Thanks for the suggestions though. And yea nice find Max2k. I ordered mine yesterday, I wonder how long it will take for me to get them.

What are the spicers?

Hey Max2k I saw pics of your scion with green LED's in it. That looked hot!!!

How did you install neons in the back of the seat where the grocery hooks are? Did you cut into the fabric? and how did you get the ones in the handles above the door?? I would like to do all of that to mine.

If you could let me know how you did it I would greatly appreciate it, Thanks!!

I just unscrewed the hook and drilled a hole and stuck an LED in. The wires are just run inside the seat, there's a hole in the fabric where the hook goes on.

The roof handle LEDs are wedged into the ridges in the piece that covers the bolts that hold them on. It's hard to explain, but easy to do. You're going to want to pull the weatherstripping out of the door and run the wires behind there.

A lot of this stuff is really easy to figure out if you just take a few minutes to look at things. After you figure out how you want to mount everything, it's as simple as power and ground.

I had to get the 10mm because he didn't have orange in the 5mm.

I did see how to do them right after I did that post but I didn't know how to go about wireing the handles above the doors so that they couldn't bee seen. and for the hooks on the back I was thinking of tapping the wires into my neons under the seats so that when those go on my led's go on.

I don't know if you're going to be able to fit 10mm LEDs in the handles.

You could certainly wire your seat hooks to the underseat neons.

A word about that light modification. That's the only one I wouldn't do again, as it's kind of ridiculous. As it stands, they almost never get turned on.
