the pictures aren't very good at all, but it looks real clean. and I know my floors are dirty, but I am just glad to be done so those will have to wait. It really looks pretty good in real life. The picture isn't all blown out like it is in the pictures. You can see the details of the picture much better in person.

That's my cd holder. I had an extra sticker lying around, so I put it on there. I also plan on putting a red LED next to each of the switches so it lights up when the switch is on, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. Ya under the dash are the 12" cathodes. I have 2 more 4" cathodes, but I don't know where to put them. I was thinking maybe like in hte little holder at the bottom of each door, but I don't know. Any ideas?

how many cathodes under there and can you go take a pic of the mounting location i am doing this in the morning!! i have 4 12 and 4 4 in cathodes

[bret_xi]

how much do those tubes cost.. i'm lookin at gettin some of them too

[max5]

I have a 12" cathode under each sde of the dash. The cathodes when connected to the transformer from end to end measure about 3'. so the transformer is sitting behind the headunit on that little ledge back there. mounting the tubes is just a matter of finding a flat spot, which is really easy on the passenger side. On the driver side I just moved the light around, and ended up putting it in front of the pedals, and I had to put it at an angle in order to find a flat spot. so the driver side isn't sitting parallel to the seat, but it's pretty close. Just find a flat spot and stick them up there.

The tubes are from oznium.com. trust me buy them from oznium. They have the lowest prices by far, $6.50 for 2 12 inchers. and their customer service is great. DON'T BUY LIGHTS FROM ANYWHERE ELSE.

oznium x 2, how many cathodes did you use, 1 on each side, i have 4 12 inchers and 4 6 inchers,

Here are some pics for reference in case you wanted to see what cold cathodes looked like. I used to have these on, but have since moved on and got rid of them. They were more of a novelty and lost their appeal after a while(a month)...

I actually got the CC's for PC's and there was a decent price over a year ago when I got them. $6 for 2. So I figured I'd experiment with a few colors since I only need one for the PC.

Hope that helps...and don't worry, it's not as ricey as it looks, but to each his own.

P.S. I originally got the idea from this guy:
