cathodes are fragile
i put cathodes on the backs of both of my front seats to shine on the floor in the back seat.. and within one week. both of them were broken. = (
one of them got kicked by someone sitting back there.. really softly i might add. and the other one just fell off of the double stick tape i used and broke when it hit the floor.. the price is right and the light production is amazing. but next time i need to be more careful. haha

lol moogly. yea it is. haha. well i was actually flying when i took that picture. my girlfriend took me on a planeride tour of chicago for my birthday a few days ago. it was awesome.
actually.. i have a secret mod for my car that nobody knows about.. see while all of you guys are wasting your money on turbo's and intakes.. i got the "car to plane" conversion kit... with the push of a button my car turns into a plane and its untouchable by anything on the road. haha

LED's are also expensive and make hotspots. haha. i put LED's in my front seats. but i paid 60 bux for both of them (2 15" tubes). 2 cathodes with the same brightness and much better light production.. for 7 bux. lol. its almost worth buyin a bunch of them n just replacing them when they break. hahaha.
