I've ordered the parts, but I've been too busy to actually do it. Yume, have you figured out how to keep the inverts dry in the engine bay?

As long as they are in the engine, they will be fine. i think the best place would be to put them under the battery cover area and the master cylinder area. that way the can be hidden as well. assuming you also have the driver side battery cover.

How long are the wires you're running from the inverters to the tubes? I thought they should be kept to a minimum. I wonder if when using short tubes it's not as much of a problem.

I set a blue ccfl light as well to compare the white and blue. The blue looks even better than the white. It gives the corner a crystalline blue look to it. looks bad @$$. i would have gone with blue, but i think cops are more likely to pull you over for blue.

Hey Yume - do these ccfl's come in amber? I have been looking for a solution for more light to show out of my newly applied Dannos/Bats side maker overlays. I have Dannos 4 bar smoked over a smoked Bat overlay and need more light to peak out of the barred area. Currently, I have a 5 led in there but the light coming out the barred area is weak. I wouldn't mind hooking up with to do this mod together on my car. Thanks.

The ccfl's don't come in amber...and i know you would have liked that Calvin. The closest available color to amber would be the yellow ccfl. i haven't used yellow before, so i'm not sure what the shade of yellow would be. I think if you want to go with amber, the best thing would be to relocate the light to the location of the bars. I'm not even sure if that would work because of the clips behind the corner might be in the way. but i don't know how the sedan corners are. i can take a look if you like. do you have an extra set of corners i can mess around with for you?

It's Andy not Calvin. I think I still have my amber oem corners. Have you had any trouble with the white lights being illegal here in CA? Is this an on week for Chino Hills?

and you shouldnt have a problem with white side markers. technically they are illegal but most cops dont care. as long as they are not blue or something you should be fine
