Thanks for your help Dragon.

No problem, a mate did that to his cr, not quite the same, he used cathodes to achieve footwell lighting, routed some LED toggle switches to the dash, looked pretty sweet afterwards. He also put UV ones in the boot, not sure why, he doesnt have a sub or anything in there, he just thought it would be cool, lol...

So yeh, straight connections to the fuse box, or any spur off of the 12v ring, if its easier you could always take a spur off of the feed to your headunit or anything else in there for that matter

No probs, dragon

I have a Chen Ming aluminum case. They make the Antec chassis'. Awesome case, especially to work on. mmmmm. I have an Antec sitting here too, and they look identical. I can't remember the part numbers though.

Yeah EL wires are nice. Seen it on many many things. Cheapy look, some use them for creating cheap angel eyes. They are quite effective, and affordable too.

Thats actually a good idea, but if you dont make it extremely round, it will look stupid.

Im thinking he means what you see on the newer BMW's, where theres a Halo of light around one of the circles inside the headlight.
