Forgive this very newbie question (after having looked through your gallery some more I really like the look of the cold cathode tubes) but:

IIRC those cold cathode tubes typically come with molex connectors for use with PC power supplies. How did you wire that into the car's power system?

 

I cut the connector off.

Basically, I used Velcro to attach the tubes to the top of the trunk. (I bought an extra set, as I assume that I'll end up breaking one someday) The inverter came with a PC Molex connector that I cut off. I then attached the power to the socket for the trunk light. The socket lends itself nicely to this. I kept a small LED bulb in the socket to hold the wires in place.

I'm a big fan of NOT cutting ANY stock wiring.

 

What color(s) did you pick? Are you happy with your choice?

Available with Cool White Warm White Blue Green Red Amber LEDs

 

I went with "Cool White" (4700k i think) for all the LEDs. and i'm VERY happy with them.

 

"Cool", thanks!

 

Oh My Gawd!

You have to remove the front bumper and the headlights to get to the turn signals!

I really want the side markers and turn signals to be LED too, but **** - I'm not sure if I want to dedicate that much time to them!

*sigh* that's 29 watts of power just for the running lights... another 42 for the turn signals. I'm going to have to think about this one.

 

So, for the interior and license plate lights, is it just a matter of swapping out the bulbs? I've always been envious of the LED license plate lights on the Lexus.
Also, do the interior lights still have the dimming function on power down with these LED bulbs?
Thanks!

 

Yes, they are a direct swap. As for dimming, the dome light does still dim. None of the Map/Reading/Vanity lights ever dim.

 

Cool! Thanks for the quick turnaround response. To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure which of the lights dimmed in the interior. I will order mine now.
Thanks

 

I was actually thinking about making up a kit for a full LED/HID replacement. I would have loved to have a kit that contained everything needed for all of the lighting.
