very true.... a good tint job makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE... compare my before and after shots..



AFTER
20% on front side windows and rear window, with 5% on the sunroof, and rear side windows, not sure on the eye brow % tho....



tho remember... black cars i think look best tinted.
but tint and rims makes a HUGE difference

i just love this shot

 

well im still not 100% sure of the exact install of the lights, but i think im gonna orderthe stripsand the switch and usually it helps when i can physically see all the parts. i also emailed the guy at the site and he said the other things i need were: wire, cable ties, crimp connectors, solder, heat shrink, and electrical tape; Sound pretty complete for the job?

 

well ya realy dont need all those...LOL
ive done a simple strip and twist and electrical tape.....

thats the pros way.... i do it a quick way..... use enough tape and it shouldnt just fall off

 

Alright, bought the two 9.5" LED Flexstrips (very bright) and the LED switch. So I looked where I want to attach the strips and I decided to put the switch where the cig. lighter is. So I took out the lighter and taped off all the unattatched wires so now I have a hole to put the switch. Now my question is exactly how to wire. I'm going to put this is very basic terms so it would be appriciated if you possibly could too



On the LED strip there is a wire with a silver color and bronze color. (I'm assuming power and ground) then on the back of the switch there are 4 prongs: (Here is also a little diagram from Oznium.com [Great site BTW] which has some info. which I'm not quite sure what it means ) http://www.oznium.com/paddle-toggle



Then there is my fuses:




So if someone could breifly explain where to attatch the bronze & silver wires from each of the LED strips, and how to connect the wires to the switch, and where to get the power supply form, it would be very greatly appreciated!

 

its exactly what it says on the switch... most likely tap into that white wire thats already pluged into the fuse box or one of those plugs up thier depending on WHEN you want it to have power... im preaty sure in that white wire location is only powered when the ignition is ON.......

and on the flex strip the silver wire is power... and the bronze wire is ground.... preaty simple.....

if ya want the switch to light up then you have to use that resistor between the power output and that one prong..... without the resistor it wont light up which realy isnt necesary..... but DO NOT just put a wire thier! if ya do it will just burn the led out!!!!!
im suprised they didnt give ya a resistor with the switch.... my led rocker switch didnt need that resistor crap....

 

should add... your gonna love the flexleds!!!!! i got them front and back on my civic now... soon to upgrade my sides to the flexstrips also.... my coldcathodes must leak atiny bit and starting to short them out

 

so which wires would be attatched to the switch, and which goes to the fuse? (i have two strips so im not sure if it would make much diff)

 

man you answered your own question.LOL you posted the link..


and just conect the two flex strips together same way... both positives together and both negatives together... preaty simple...

 

I could make a brighter one, but it would cost a lot more than the oznium ones [8D]

 

LMFAO ya you can make a brighter strip BUT youd have to jam twice as many leds in the strip.... or just double up the strips....LOL
OR just buy a 6ft long strip and roll it up for a spot light effect.LMFAO
