whats with the different rims hehe.

Love the light, thinking of adding that on mine as well.


EDIT: Are the lights turned on with some sort of switch? Can't you hook them up to the car battery so that they turn on when the car is on and vise versa?

the lightning will only turn on when the doors are open or turn of the engine.
after some time they will auto. turn off. no other switch.

i don´t know what you mean with the rims.

I've been thinking about this off and on. The only thing is that everybody that I asked is against it. I'd do a sorta DIY interior light kit for a hell of a lot cheaper than the Toyota one. Let's see LED light bar X2=$20, switch=$5-10, wiring=free got a bunch of telephone wire just laying around for a grand total of $25-30. I dunno I guess ultimately it's my car and my decision what do you guys think? Since my car is Blazing Blue and since my color theme is silver and blue I'll use blue bars. I've been thinking of instead of doing just the front putting a couple to light up the back also. Again I ask what do you guys think, clean or ricey?

I just bought some red neons for under my dash, and a few more for else where in the car, but dont know where. Thank you "Black Yaris". Me and a buddie will be installing them when they come in later this week.


If you put neons up in the back? I dont think it is, if there is a way to sorta hide the tubes, it would look clean. I dont know about Ohio, but where I am, if your tubes are visible, it is technically illegal, especially if they are blue/red/white, since those are siren colors.

I'd hide them under the seats of something. Yeah in ohio if it don't bother you it don't bother the 5-0s. so with that said do you still think if I put two tubes in the front(like the 'yota kit) and somewhere in the back still look good? It's kinda my DD/show car(yes that's right is a dual purpose ride). I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible. Oh and the swicth I'd use one of the blank panels in the center by the e-brake.

That would be a good spot for the switch. Also you could do the lights on the back.... oh wait, you have a LB, i was thinking on the back by the speakers. You could do them..... idk where in the back.... on the arm rests in the back? (I cant recall if the LB has armrests in the back)

Also, you could do them in the the car door compartments, or also buy the "oh shit" handles.

I'll find someplace I just don't wanna become a ricer driver if you know what I mean I'm know for doing this car up right so far and I don't want to trash my reputation. the wires would be cake to hide 2. Oh btw sorry Palme for stealing you thread. Yeah I got armrests like molded in the side panels. What do you think about some like under the hatch or in the trunk area?

in the trunk area would look good, imo.

I'm thinking just something subtle, you know accent it real nice. 'm also thinking about a underglow kit or would that be too much? How about one that goes around the stereo?

underglow, as in underbody? That is kinda ricey.

Yea, around the stereo would be rad, one of my friends did that in her xA, and it looks good.
