so i wanna install an orange led tube just for some extra lighting and to look "cool" i know what your thinking why did you buy them you stupid ricer. it was impulse i'm sorry anyway i don't know how to install them like where to hook the wires to and i need help.

well first of all where are you thinking of installing the tube? and is it an EL tube or more like a cold cathode tube? either way you will need a 12v charge usually depending on where you hook it up you could draw power from your cigarette lighter or from many other places. a good idea is to hook it up somewhere that the key has to be set to acc to turn it on or to hook up a toggle switch in the dash...

I think Orange is alot "cleaner" colour than red or blue or purple or something haha.

The light will need 12v power from the battery, and a ground.

i have a blue one under my dash, its dim enough to only give a little glow around your feet... i think it looks pretty cool and it matches my alpine CD player.

i just hard wired it to the back of the cigarette lighter so it gets power all the time. But its sound activated so when i start my car it turns on because of the vibrations. ... or you can smack the window and it flashes for a second

i want to put the led's on in the rear compartment right behind the arm rest thingy. so it shines right thrue. ok what is the acc and it doesn't have the cigarette lighter adapter.

You need to draw power from pretty much any source in the car. You can tap into your stereo, or the lights, or ignition, or anything. I could help you rig it up if you wanted to meet up.

one of my future plans of what i wanted to do is install some LEDs all around in the crx and wire them up to the dome light so they turn on when i open the doors..i just love modding things with leds cause its fun

i want to put a few behind all the speaker grills, under the dash wherever i can think of and they draw little power

ok so if i hook up the positive and negative wires to anyother wire it won't like over power the lights and cause some kind of electric disaster. as far as meeting i can't move the car no license means no liability insurance unless your willing to drive to my house and we can have an awsome photoshoot with 2 crx's that'd be awsome. anyway thanks for the help.
