Installing Underglow.. HELP!!
 

any buddy have a walkthrough on installing on a cobalt ss/sc?
PLEASE and thank you

please try and learn how to stay on topic in help forums instead of adding pointless stupidty thanks..

anyone have any walk through?? any install pictures on how to do it.

You shouldn't flame someone for something THEY want to do to THEIR car.

As long as you hide the tubes well and pick a decent color combo( if you're not getting the multi-colored) I think they will look fine. I've heard zip ties work and I'm sure self tapping screws work as well if you don't put them through something important :D

There HAPPY?

We recently installed underglow on 2 SS's. Hopefully one of them will chime in, as I didn't do the actual LED placement. As far as the wires, all the LEDs connected to a central box under the hood. Then the control box we mounted in the side door where the trunk button is on the Drivers side. To get thru the firewall you can either cut a hole in the steering boot or next to the boot there is a rubber plug that you can popout. We then wired it to a fuse on the side consol, to the right of the shifter under the glovebox.

I know placing the underglow is tricky in the front do to the lip and trying to get a good spot for it to shine down on. I remember we had to drill holes underneath on the side and used wire ties to zip them up in there.

Check out the How to Section. There is someone in there who has pictures I love mine check them out at page 2 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2063317

Have fun with them, but don't lower your car. You may end up dragging them to you're next stop.

I've gone thru 2 sets now. I'm over them. The LED's arent that good anyways, and I had a 500.00 set w/ remote.

crazy shit but i still need step by step install pictures dam :(

my cars slammed and has leds.... no problems here and mine were $80 with 2 remotes lol looked like i just got lucky... well i would tell you how i put mine in but it is way to long and diffecult to explain... i used a hoist at a friends shop and me and him did it for 5 hours to finish... u laugh at 5 hours for neons but i did it right.... i dont mean to sound cocky but i mean it turned out really really good... i need the wheel well ones now

sry i ment L.E.D.s BTW

i need some pictures guys just so i know where a good place to mount them as well

thank you very much i bought a street glow 7 color led set kind of expensive but hey W/E

5 hours??? You're installer was an idiot !!


Just kidding.

Took about the same time for me too.

damnet u just pist me off so much lol then i realized there was more at the bottom. i installed mine so i was like WTF... i drilled mine into the bottem of the bumper in back, onto the unibody on the sides, and ziptied the front onto the bottem of the radiator

pictures and help on install?

Ditto....

I have the multi color L.E.D.'s as well. I had them on my F-150 for 3 years, now they are on my SS/SC. I used car ramps on the back (cause the front bumper was too low to get up on the ramps going forward). I drilled holes in the metal that comes down about 2 inches where the side sheet metal panel meets the botton sheet metal panel. Then I zip tied them to hold them but not too tight. I them drilled a hole through the floor boards to put the electrical inside and sealed the hole with a hot glue gun. My controller sits between my drivers seat and the center console down by the eBrake. It's prety much hidden unless you look right at it. I'll post pics next time I make it to the store to buy batteries for my camera lol.

hey im sitting outside trying to hook up the switch of my underglow to get power where should i hook it up cause i cant seem to find a place with power please help pictures would be nice :(

Positive=to the battery
negitive=crimp an eyehole onto the wire and bolt it down under a nut on a metal surface

I took the center counsole apart. Hooked my power up to the cigarette lighter positive and grounded the negative by taking one of the bolts that are under the emergency brake off then crimped any eye connector and rebolted the bolt.

ok i got power running through the wires now but on my switch i have 3 more wires coming out of it black blue red WHERE THE #@% do i attach thoose fucking things

Anyone?

thaNKS FOR THE HELP GUYS I NOW HAVE INSTALLED AND RUNNING LED UNDERGLOW
APPRECIATE THE HELP and hopefuly will be able to help you guys out in the future

i installed mine in about 45 min. but i've installed them for years on my clubs cars so im pretty familiar with the work. i ran the switch threw the firewall. there is already a rubber boot in the wall that you can use as the routing path. the wires for the bulbs i have running under the carrage with the supplied wire mounting brakets and self tapped the screws into the underside. I put them in places that wernt apart of the floor board so that i didnt go into the floor. other then that is pretty simple, well for me anyway. i've had mine on my car for over a year now, about 2 months after i got the car.
