    new in car lighting

    well, since i'm changing my guage lights to red, along with the HVAC lights, and my jvc head unit has red buttons, i decided to change my interior lights over to red. i went with SVC, who supplies cold cathodes and fans and what not for computers. they have a lot of their stuff on sale right now.
    main lighting page.
    multi color LED bubble tube.
    i'm putting a bubble tube on each front door.
    EL rope/wire.
    12" cold cathode tubes.
    i ordered 4 of the 12" tubes, one for under each front seat and under the dash, 2 of the bubble tubes, and two 5' sections of the rope light. with shipping the cost came out to $49.99

    Sounds like its gonna look nice. Don't forget to take pics after you install them

    SVC is a good company. Usually they have half their stuff on sale at all times. I ordered some computer parts from them a few weeks ago and had excellent service.

        bruce? who's bruce i'm brian and i know the main computer lines are 12 volts, and the turn on lines are 5 volts, so i'll see which one they need. worst come to worst i'll use a resistor inline to drop down the voltage

            it's a way to step down the voltage from 12+ volts to 5 volts, if needed and no problem about calling me bruce

                lol, i've never tried to make a resistor, let alone know where to start i'd just use one's i've bought for projects before, or calculate the exact value i need and buy it from radio shack
                voltage = current x resistance
