Under-dash LED's

[twonole]

A couple weeks a ago I put some led's under the dash and seats of my Mazda. Figured I'd share some pics and I have a couple vids explaining how they work and how I have them wired. The lights themselves are a 7 color kit I got off of Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Multi-Color-Color-Interior-Underdash-Lighting/dp/B000I04Z7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297013936&sr=8-1

They are wired to come on with the radio and dome light and I have a diode pack wired in to prevent back voltage.

Here are what the colors look like minus one.

And here are what they look like in the afternoon.

Dang man that looks sick!!!!! the only thing that would piss me off is it being on when i'm driving on the road at night... I would find it hella distracting but that's just me. Other than that, i would totally consider doing something like this in my truck. About how long do you think it took you to put them in?

Actually there is a button on the controller so you can fully turn them off whenever you like and it took me right around 3 hours. I had to take the front seats out to run the wires. And they don't make it easy being they have 5 ft of wire on each tube that is non detachable. Which was my only complaint about the lights.

Got any pics of how they are mounted? I need to get something better than individual leds for my truck.

Did this on mine for $25 at autozone, but without the changing colors. ran to the radio fuse and with a switch in it. worked well. I like the changing colors on yours.

About to pull mine off cause I accidently severed the ground while wiring some other switches.

wow. i didn't know they made rope lights for trucks. not bad, but would be way too distracting for me. can you make them change colors with your music?
just a thought.

I was wiring my new amp to my sub a little while ago, and i had some LED tape from work, so I hooked them up and they flashed. so i put them under the dash. with a switch to keep them off.
