The LED's were some generic brand from http://www.shmotorsport.com/ , but the neons are StreetGlows (I broke my front LED tube a while back, so I replaced the whole kit with neons)...
btw, Thanks, I really love my halos... I'm definitely glad I got those headlights

Reaper, you've got them mounted EXACTLY the same as me, they light up the ground really similar to mine too. Works good eh?
Those pics are all you need, trust us, it works good. Just need some self-tapping screws to go into the metal.

.come on guys....... sorry took so long... but my grandpa died so ive been around doing the funeral stuff the last few days. :(
but.... come on hide the bulbs guys!!!!!! thats HORIBLE.........
thats the newer lighting toys ;) waterproof, flexable led strips... 6ft lengths..
heres how i have my rear flexstrip ran.... with some L shaped aluminum channeling along the botom and then a few pieces on the sides to hold the strips up thier with some zip ties...
also with the channeling painted black to blend in beter...
same type mounted in the front with some channeling but some holes in the side plastic panels that i ran some zipties thru to hold it tight...
tho no new pics sorry... i riped my front strip apart over the winter and pulled it off cause i twisted the channeling all up and tore the inside strips apart half way so i had to solder some new wires to the other half of the unlite strip and now it works i just havent put the new channeling and strip back on the car yet...
BUT i also havent bought the 6ft strips for the sides yet either.... those are pics of my old cathodes that where burnen out.LOL and now none of them work.. but then again i lost my UB switch spot when i put my OEM fog lights on. :( so the wires are all unhooked until i can rebuild and rewire...LOL

they are not cheaper..... BUT ARE ALOT BETER!!!!!
i used cold cathodes always before on my UBs BUT if just a drop of water gets into the transformers THEY FRY and transfrormers are JUNK....LOL and i did all the sealing with silicone and tape all i could and just over time and so many (mikes express underbody car washs) they just started leaking :( and going out....
which is why i started replacing the cold cathodes with these 6ft flexstrips! they are also easier to hide cause they arent in those tubes....
the 6ft strips i believe are like 60each... BUT well worth it!!!!!!
i mean COME ON JUST LOOK AT THIS FRONT GLOW!!!!!!!!! and KNOW its all waterproof, flexable, and even repairable if ya drag it on something and rip the guts in two.... just solder new wires on the other half thats not lite and your golden again!
and yes i know at low to the ground you could see my cold cathode tubes :( i just never bought some larger L channel to hide them beter.... but they are all junk now so no need for the larger channeling when i replace them with the flex strip!
the strips are even BRIGHTER than my cold cathodes and even a brighter color green... i love em.... im just busy buying other things for my civic since the UB lights only get lite up SOMETIMES at night.... just depends on my mood...LOL
