    thanks for the console link. i ran all of my LEDS this weekend, i didnt hook them up yet but i placed them...

    1 in each cup holder. 1 in the console vent. 3 in the center console and 1 in the coin slot holder. did you hotglue your leds so they stayed in placed? how did you remove the little plastic frayed shavings.

    AWESOME MAN!!!

    I didn't hot glue them. When I popped them into the little plastic holders, they stay put. The little shavings werent to bad. I drilled little pilot holes then used the 1/4" drill so i only got a couple shavings. With those , i bent a razor blade concave like the shape of the cupholder and carefully shaved the frayed little plastic off.

    I have two leds that have decided to move slightly. i am going to duct tape them or glue them because the electric tape wasnt strong enough.

    Most people put a little silicone on the back of them. Mine are all snug and good to go so if they burn out they will be that much easier to replace.

    The guys I buy from (vminnovations) on EBAY pretty much just have the LED tubes. I like the true NEONS because after having both kits I think the NEON tubes give a wider glow. Don't get me wrong , the LED kits are badass....I just like the glow better on the neon tubes.

    If I do it all over again, I might go with something like this:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUE-14PCS-...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item5d32dd6099


    Gives you alot of mounting variations and talk about getting an ALL-OVER-GLOW!!! They are the wide angle led's too. GOOD SHIT!

    It's pretty easy man. Problem is...I don't get to Cali much. Of course i say it's easy because my truck is lifted so it's simple to crawl around underneath and have room to move. Looking at yours though it looks like theres room.

    Believe me. It's very easy. I can probably make a layout diagram thingy in paint program or something that shows how to run wires and where to mount lights.
