Request for some DIY awesomeness
 
Aight heres what i would like. idk if there is a thread already on this. Im going to be getting some lighting stuff from ozninum cold cathodes and leds. (more details later)

I want to know does anybody know how to effectively install 1 cathode in the upper grill and one in the lower grill. then run it to a power sourece and then 1 cathode under each side of the dash and under d/p seats. My problem is this. I hAVE NO idea how to wire anyof this or even where to begin. I forgot im thinking of adding 4" inch cathodes into my O Snap handles. (either cathodes or leds there. becasue i want to change my dome lights to blue also soo the handles and dome will do that slow shut off dim thing. So basically can anybody ell me how to hook all this up and what other accesories i would need? I really have no idea even to where i would hook the lights and everything up too or even how to get behind the grill. so anyhelp??

www.oznium.com is the sight i'll be ording from (seem to be the best around)

cathodes in the "oh ____" handles wont really work with ours since there is no gap in the back like the 1st gen. Oh, and you cant extend the cathode wires (the whites one). you can only do it to the red and black ones.

Wiring is pretty simple.
1. plug the end of the cathodes to the transformer.
2. since your doing the top and bottom grille you need to use 2 kits as one wont reach from top to bottom. so, get all the red wires and tie them together. you'll be able to just extend one wire to the power source. (pic makes it easier)
3. ground the blacks
4.

o then nvm imma do LEDS there. i'll be ordering these in the next two weeks and i shall show pICS!!

cool. they are a bit more expensive but a much better choice. cathodes are extremely fragile plus they cant dim with the dome light. you need to have constant power to them. LEDS you can slowly take away power therefore making them dim and shut off.
LEDs>cathodes def.

http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips i was thinking that for the under the seats. What do u think about cathodes in grill and under dash? i didn't know i would need to sets in front. Do u think u would need to kits for under dash too? or do u think i could stretch em?
