Works but it was a ***** to get it going for someone not so experienced and familiar with vehicles and not-so-DIY-DIY-projects. To start, after realizing I had no idea how to run this from my driver's side to passenger without cords over the middle section of my car, I took these to a car place to see how much it would cost to get this installed. I was quoted about $125, and immediately found my way back home to make.this.work. What do you know, after actually really using my brain, I found out how to pass this through to my passenger side and how to get these under my seats for the back just as well, cables hidden and all.
My next dilemma was getting this powered. I tried fuse adapters into cigarette lighters and everything, nothing was really "it'. This is my car. I wanted something as solid as solid can be. It came down to me having to take the cables to my fuse box in my trunk, meaning I had to buy red/black 12v/ground extension cables which were pretty cheap so no biggy. Having to do some splicing and use some terminal connecting, again no biggy, anyone can do this. Then getting to my fuse box.
Now, I don't know anything about fuses.
I got a fuse adapter which lets you take a cable from this set, attach it to the adapter and then put the adapter into the appropriate fuse slot (meaning where a fuse is currently being used) and badaboom you're done. Supposedly. This wasn't really working out for me and with how crucial fuses are to a car I didn't want to mess with this more than I had to so I went back to another car place to see what they could do to get this going.
I did all the grunt work and most of this set-up, can't cost much to finish right? They charged me $30 to get this powered which I felt was a bit much but **** it, I don't want to play with fuses, messing those up can cost a whole lot more. I had them do it and it's been working perfectly since.
I noticed they got this powered pretty much how I was attempting to and thought to, they just knew what they needed to about fuses. They didn't use the fuse adapter I got, they used their own but it looked like the exact same one. In fact I think it was, in hindsight I should've given them the one I had it might've lowered the price. They also went a step ahead of me and drilled into my car by the fuse box to set up a point for the ground connection because there wasn't really any good one to use in that area of my car.
It was a journey to get to the end but in the end you get there and it's worth it. The lights are bright, add a lot to the car, there's tons of color options and mode options, I love being able to see my feet when I want, etc.. The sound mode I don't care much for and don't really use, but the times I did it didn't seem too breathtaking. When I got this I knew which color I wanted to be using anyways. I wanted blue and blue was blue just fine.
Overall great product, just not as easy to install as I thought it'd be, but then again, that's on me.
