Hey i would love to do this to my G35 Coupe.

but first i have a few questions ?

1-do i pull out #1 & #8 ? or just cut it and connect my cord from the CCFL ?
2-where do i buy this CCFL tubes from ? I like the long tubes.
3-whats that little blue box ?
4-the white cord thats on the CCFL do it comes with the CCFL ? Or do you have to buy it seperate ? and how long is it ?
5- can you show how you ran the cord in the door molding ?

6-how do you get this going across the buttom of the door ? i purchased the regular LEDs, but the strip running across looks way better..



can someone help me out with these questions ?

EDIT:
On further inspection, I realize that your signature says you've got the premium package. I assume that means you've got the factory navigation. In that picture, there's definitely no factory navigation equipped. So, who's G is that? That's just awful.

yeah, I have the premium pkg w/o navi....maybe the newer models include navi w/ it, but the 04 doesn't. I will agree with fishr, no offense dcity but please explain what posessed u to do that? They just look COMPLETELY out of place. The other people who did the mods are rather discrete and only seen when doors are open.

Advanced Auto Parts or PepBoys. You can try AutoZone, but they usually don't carry CCFL, just LED.
IMO CCFL distribute light more evenly than LED's. LED's have hot spots.

Can anyone confirm to me that this is a 12 volt source? i've planned to use 3 led's and a resistor in series for each compartment, wanna make sure it wont blow the led's. also, can anyone explain how to attach the wires to the harness once you pull the harness out? do u just try to stick it in and let it hang
