I second Cobalt30s question. Also, with the hard wiring, when exactly are they on? I would love to find a way to wire them so that they turned on instead of the interior lights, like when a door opens or something, but stayed off while driving.

to answer everyones questions

i installed them under each side
one under the dash, and one under the seat
i only bought 2 sets

i wired it so they would come on whenever the ignition is on (just like my system)
so i can sit in my car turn the key forward once, get just the radio and basic power
turn it once more, and get radio, system, the climate controls, and my cathodes
then turn the car on and have everything

if you find the fuse for the interior lights, im pretty sure you could make em turn on with those

worst case, put a switch in, turn it off when you drive
