Does anyone know where I can get the 4" white tubes? Everyone I've checked is either out of stock or don't carry them.

you could use the original hole fo rthe bulb, but i sealed it up so it would look cleaner. and yes, if you put the light in the middle, it wouldn't be hidden very well. and it doesn't look good either, IMO.

Thanks for the replies. I just found some on eBay. Paid a total of $18 including shipping for a dual 4" and a dual 12" kit. Now to get the clear corners. Thanks for the info on the mod. I can't wait to see how it looks.

yea, you don't have to use both wires. Just leave one unplugged. It should be ok.

10,000 hours minimum - so about a year at least. the problem with CCFLs is that they do burn in and fade after a while. also, the CCFL inverters tend to fry after a while.

is it easy to actually replace the clear corner itself? you just pop it in or do you have to take the bumper off?

dude you just pop it off. pull on it from the side, it'll come right off. the light just twists off. 15 seconds tops.
