This one, also of the front, is taken from in front of the car, on the ground, looking up.


This one below is on the back
i would have mounted the side bulb away from the pinch rail to prevent the floor jack from poseing a danger to the bulb. it may clear but it only takes one slip to kill.

It's a 7 color set, but I really like the way the blue looks

In the trunk there is a air vent that I went through on my underbody kit. I just took apart the trunk and worked them through there. I have the blue on Yellow and it looks sick.

And a question about the sides will drilling into your sides cause any rust issues?

I will try to get them up shortly, my digit camera isn't working right now. If you undo the knobs holding your cargo net in place on the right side and take out the bottom floor covering you will be able to move the carpet back far enough to find the air vent near the bottom right corner of the trunk. From there I just installed the transformer on the steel frame that the antenna cable runs along, there is nothing behind it. Check out my cardomain site for night pictures.

with the LED kits you dont have to worry about a transformer for power...a simple small control box under the hood does it all....just run and hide the wires....pretty simple

I love my LED kit. I'd stick to Streetglow, but thats just me. I got my set on E-bay for about $160. I'm really happy with them.

I wouldn't go with just the cheapest though. You don't want them to go snap one day, and have to rewire that section

Thats what I was thinking. I had my car on the lift yesterday and it was really close to that.

Is there anyway to hook up your underglows to the car so that they turn on when the doors are unlocked with the courtesy lighting mode?

My tip: once you put it on, take it back off.

Yea, I was so proud of people in this thread for answering the questions you had, and not telling you to not do it. Some people just love to ruin it for other people though....

Anyways, I know what you mean about cold weather. I can't wait for Spring to get rolling in

I hope to get a Blue LED or regular kit on my 06' Silver SS/SC soon! I already have 12" tubes under the dash by the drivers/passenger feet, and one under the radio.
