I used to have to install these ricer kits all the time.
They really are not that difficult to install. And believe it or not, most of them come with the instructions.
It basically just connecting one wire to the (+) power and one to the (-), or grounding it somewhere,and then mounting your kit.
Like I said, really not that difficult.

Yeah, if you get a quality LED kit, it won't have the hot spots that cheaper kits do.

And basically, the hardest part about the whole thing is actually mounting the tubes. The wiring itself is simple, and if you follow the instructions that come with the kit, you'll be fine.

lol..thanks...but i ripped them off..i had a cheap LED kit but i took them out of the tubes so they mounted flush..that way you can't see the tubes or the bulbs and you just get a nice glow...

if i do another kit Oznium flex strips ftw...


addiction is the underglow master...wait for him to chime in.

you can see the dotty ness that everyone talks about..i didn't have too much clearence under my car so the tubes kinda stuck out. My kit was from LEDunderbody.com...had all these cool flashing functions and turning it on to music was teh funnest part and using the remote it came with.




here is a side shot
