Default XA Lighting your input is much appreciated...

4 leds, Putting 2 in the vents closest to the Head unit. got 2 more leds and two 4 inch cathodes. I already have under dash lighting. Where do you guys think I should put these? thought about doing double sets in th vents with the leds. One set would come on when the door opens, the other switch powered. Opinons?

-Peace

Here's a few places I reccomend LEDs and cathodes:

LEDs in the speaker grilles, cathodes removed from the acryilc tube, and sewn to the headliner, cathodes in the front grille, LEDs in the headlights, cathodes behind the suspension, and in the wheel well, LEDs in the taillights, LEDs behind the inside door handles. LEDs behind the grip used to close the door, cathodes in the door pockets, cathodes under the seats and dash, LEDs in the dome lights

I appreciate your business.

In the pockets... You take the door panel off, and run power wires through the rubber grommet between the door and the car body.

Then you secure the cathode transformer on the door panel somewhere, drill a tiny hole in the back of the pocket for the cathode tube wires to come through, and plug into the transformer. You don't have to extend any wires.

Just put one transformer on each door.

Do it right, take your time, and it will look sick!

Under the carpet. Now go rip the car apart

Take the seats out, door panels, and every other panel possible! It is fun
