you should take pictures of the foam setup

[Slummy]

you know what, I was pretty sure that these would look like crap, but on the contrary, they look very cool. nice job!:thumbsup:

$$$ bling $$$!

Seriously good job, though personally I don't really understand the concept of footwell lighting... But that's just me :wink:

[KSIbucky]

can you turn them on without having the car on

[ChinoCharles]

Pictures of the transformers wouldn't show much. It just looks like two rectangular boxes wrapped in electrical tape with some wire coming out each side. Try to imagine it.

You cannot turn them on if the car is off. Therefore, I can leave them on at night and when I start the car they'll come on, and I can't leave them on by accident and drain the battery. You have to turn the ignition until the 12V outlet kicks on for them to work.

oznium has some awesome stuff... you remind me i need to order some goodies :)

[MacMaster761]

its really hard to put these in the sedan cause the white leader cables dont stretch very far, this makes the transformer placement extremely important so the cables dont rip out when u move the seats.

Anyone know what sized rocker switch fits the yaris in the stock hole? i cant find one, but want one

We gotta get you a new camera.... soon! :tongue:

Actually, I got one now! Its pretty nice... I used it for the pulley DIY. 5 MP Fujifilm... works for me. :thumbup:

Now it just needs to get above freezing so I can wash the shit out of my ride and take some new pictures.

Invest in a Tripod.. makes a world of difference.

[ChinoCharles]

Hmmm, tripod, rims, tripod, rims.

SCREW YOUR TRIPOD!

Is this a love hate thing, lol

[MacMaster761]

just took new pictures with my new camera and tripod, some are still blurry, but u get the idea on them. Put in my green dome light as well, just a simple 2 dollar bulb at autozone that fits into the the same slot.

Holy incredeble hulk batman

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

i still like my scion xb kit that also included the rear seat set up.it looks to have a more brillant blue light than yours.but for the price you can't go wrong, then again i got my entire kit for FREE.........

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

^^ and im talking about the hatch......

[eTiMaGo]

hmmm the green's actually kinda nice, not as "aggressive" as bright blue.

[mikenacarato]

BOOM...back from the dead!

Ill be doing this as soon as my stuff arrives. I ordered the 12" blue kit to match my ignition ring light and i will wire it to the same light. it turns on and off the you open the door. i also ordered a scion oem switch in hopes that it will fit in my blank spots.

Thanks Chino for this DIY...you da man!

[mikenacarato]

oh darn. well i guess ill return it. now that you mention this...i see it under the rocker switch section haha

[mikenacarato]

called them up and cancelled the switch. problem solved. :)

[ezhacker1]

i wonder if the Orange Cream color is closest enough to the amber gauge and etc. lights of the 09s. Whats a good color to match up meteor metallic? Only think is everyother dash lights will have to be the same color and thats too much work.

[Creeper]

have red in mine :) running 4 cathode kits a 24 inch neon under back seat and some 12 inch neons in the footwell seperate from the cathodes come on when car is on. everything else is switched. leds in compartments and airvents as well :)

[ezhacker1]

installed 12" orange creams under dash on both sides. I was disappointed that the color did not come close to the amber lights of the consoles and gauge, but i wrapped them in a light orange bag i found in my garage. Now they look awesome and close enough to amber to match everything. I still need to shave down the sides of a fog light switch that i have to fit in the switch slots, the switch right now sits on the bottom of the slot not flush with top but works fine.

I've had cheap cold cathodes like these catch on fire inside PCs. Make sure to put fire-proof stuff around the cathodes.

[ezhacker1]

yeah id be worry about that, so im gonna get a smaller amp fuse. Coming from a Taco that had greenish dash lights, these amber lights are so awesome. i find myself just sitting in the car admiring the ambers, especially now with the cold cathodes.
