hell ya. cathodes are the way to go! oznium.com baby!!!!!!
my last purchase i got four 4inch dual kits, about 12 or so prewired green leds, led holders, few more led rocker switches.
those prewired leds rule!!!!!!! i hate soldering.LOL ill gladly pay the extra cash and just twist some wires and be done with them!

everyone talks about this like its so easy i think im missing something...


1. how do you get the wires under the plastic dash and console?

2. how do you "fuse it" i know what fuses do and where they are but not sure now to connect a wire through one..

3. do you use the car battery for a power source for these things? if so how do you connect it to the battery?


thanks so much if anyone can answer any of these!


>_<

take the console out....
2. how do you "fuse it" i know what fuses do and where they are but not sure now to connect a wire through one..
buy a light tester, and probe your fuse box for a empty slot. not a fuse slot but a spade terminal on top, then just connect a spade female terminal onto it... using a fuse housing, and then run the wire to whatever. of if your realy cheap just use 2 more female spade terminals, cut the wire put on the two spade terminals... then tape around the terminals so they cannt short out by touching eachother.... then snap the spade terminals onto a regular fuse NOT those mini fuses.... and then just lay some more tape around the wires and fuse so it wont touch any metal under the dash..... same concept as buying one just impervising....
3. do you use the car battery for a power source for these things? if so how do you connect it to the battery?
use the fuse box.
