Yeah I've thought about putting in underbody glow as well but it makes you more visible to the cops. Go for interior lighting like I put some led tubes on the driver and passenger side above the foot area. It looks pretty cool. If you do put interior in though make sure you also hide the lights themselves cause it looks really stupid and cheap when you can see the lights themselves sticking out.

for interior lighting i say go get some flexable led strips
these things kick @ss!!!!!!!!

VERY SMALL.... VERY FLEXABLE... and VERY EASY TO WIRE..... AND ALSO PULL VERY LITTLE POWER!!!!!

check out my little video i made try that with some cheap @ss walmart neons!!!!

also one little 9.5inch strip... puts out ALOT OF LIGHT!

and these can also be dimmed... when cheap neons cannot be dimmed... tho youd need some unit to dim the lights.... or just tap into your stock dimmer
and BEST OF ALL.... now they come out in ALOT DIFFERENT SIZES!!!!
im just bought two 6ft long strips to start reduing my underbody lights... right now im using dual 12inch versions of the cold cathodes... main downfall about them is if they get water into them THEY FRY
these flexable strips you can put ANYWHERE! they are completly water proof and a simple 2 wire hookup... power and ground... cannt get any easier or beter!!!!

i swear i should get a discount for all the good advertising for them.LMFAO
but they are definatly the best customer service, quickest shiping.... and great products!

I agree with addiction2bass about using LEDs. LEDSs draw milliamps of power,, virtually none. Those flexible ones might be a better deal I'm not sure. 2 12" tubes for $20 plus shipping on eBay. I super glued them under the dash. Check my pics. I tapped into the wires leading to the 12v socket and I mounted a switch in the blank spot where the foglight switch can go. You can also mount switches next to the E-Brake. There's spots there.

you super glued them....

very disapointing!!!!!!


id advice two methodes.... one... 3M double sided tape.... OR use a simple hot glue gun.....

either way use some good cleaner to clean the dirt off the mounting area.

Yeah I never thought of glue gunning them, good idea. The 3m tape though, worked like crap, didn't help stick especially the places I was sticking them too. On the drivers side I did it to that stearing wheel tube and on the passenger side the little piece of metal under the glovebox. One sides coming a little losse so I think I'll take your advice and glue gone it.
