How hard are the installs on these kits?
on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best how would u rank install?

um theyre easy depending on how technically inclined you are
no they come with instructions, a couple clamps that bolt right up, and then as far as wiring you can pick up a switch at advanced auto parts or walmart or whatever and wire it to an accessory wire.

Get your flamesuit on!


I have 7 color LED's under my car from LEDGlow. You see their banner underneath the page sometimes. There kit is my favorite because you dont have to hardwire anything in, no switches or nothing. Just a wireless remote you put on your keychain. They pulse, they have a microphone to math with music, they have like 11 different patterns or something. And the interiors are easy as hell to hook up to. You can literally walk outside to your car with zipties and hook up interior LED's in 15 minutes. just zip tie them under the dash out of sight, tuck the wire in with your hand and run it down the center console. Plug it into wireless control unit. Hook wireless control unit up to battery in trunk. BAM!

Underneath is the same thing just more tedious cause you have to mount them, run the wires all together away from moving and hot parts. Then you need to push out one of the plastic plugs in the spare tire well. They put the wires up their, plug into control box. and blam. you got it.

I have never installed any lights before in my life and I installed LEDGlow's wheel well kit (Blue) in about half a day.... Now i made it as neat as possible by cutting wires to the exact right length and using extra support for the leds to make sure they didnt come loose. If I can install a wheel well kit im sure you can install a regular kit no prob.

I work in the car customization world and they are gay to install and dont last due to being exposed to the elements plus ripping them off if your lowered... If you have them, you will see them again off the car..

Depends where you mount them. Inly one I am having a problem with is the front LED. I mounted it on the plastic piece that hands down under my intercooler. It was a stoopid move because thats the piece that always scrapes. When i backed out of my driveway one day i didnt take it at an angle and it pushed that plastic piece up twords my intercooler cracking my LED. works fine I just need to get a enw one and mount it 6 inches back on the frame. Easy fix.
