Added SOME NEW GOODIES Today on the CAR! TAKE A LOOK

Alright well anyways.....what I worked on today was some lighting mods to the car...I have always hated the trunk light in the car...very limited lighting..especially with having 2 4080 Boxes in the trunk with a custom amp rack that basically covers up the trunk light.....

So here is what I used for the trunk. It is wired into the trunk light wiring so that it is only on when the trunk is open. I used 2-12 Inch Cold Cathode tubes wired into an inverter that I bought awhile back..it has been sitting in the garage so I decided to wire it up today.

Let me know your thoughts. The picture I took is without the flash in the garage. That shows you how bright it is.



My next mod I did was I hated how the door lights are not very bright at all....basically pointless when luminating the ground...anyways I installed some 36 Inch flex Blue LED Lights that I bought from a website...will try to remember if anyone is interested...Anyways this it wired directly up to my Door Light. It provides alot of Light when the door is opened.

Let me know your thoughts. I went with Blue because all of my interetior lighting is blue. they make it in white as well.

if you read on down the page the flex strips are available in 12" increments...If you want a 36" then you state that you want a Qty of 3 and they will come all together connected.
