well guys i quit my crappy job in favor of a better one today and i had all day to tinker. so i went to micro center to pick up a card reader for my mom and i left with a set of cold cathodes and an idea. my next stop was radio shack ware i picked up some wire. next i went to auto zone and picked up a 12v switch.

when i got home i went dash board diving and pulled my switch panel out and took a dremel to it.

next i soldered on some lead wires

the switch lights up, but sadly not the blue i would have expected

i wired in the switch and the cold cathodes and this is what i came up with

of course i was supervised on this project by my project manager

and like you should do after any good mod i kicked back and relaxed with my brother and drank a brew and had a nice cigar

Lighting outside the car is illegal on a moving vehicle in the US.
(Or maybe it's just emergency vehicle colors that are illegal, but you can still get pulled over for having any lit while driving)

Wait. You're in Canada...

budgray19 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 17, 2009, 07:55:04 AM »

and more aqua with the door open
idk maby just me

and tmandt
i think what hes trying to say is when asians go over they go way over and its ridiculous
i dont think hes puttin down ur race

Tec_ · « **Reply #24 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:51:51 AM »

tmandt is looking for a fight!

and the reason it looks aqua with the doors open is because of the dome light.
