I find that they look much better on their own at night than with the interior light - personal preference tho - you could give it a try - wont cost ya anything :thumbs: | |

Oh ok - I dunno - jus thought it would be good for them to all come on at the same time, and go off at the same time! Hmmm... Will have to think bout this I think. Also, atm, I don't have a boot light - just a bit of plastic where it should be, so would I have to consider running a wire right up the length of the car (under trim obv!) | |

As a side night - i found that having the LEDs come with the interior light was quite poor because the interior light ruins the glow of the LED's - this is why i installed a switch and connected it to an ignition live | |

A boot cathode can be put in by using the wiring for ur existing light | |

Cathodes will prob look best - as for the interior light question (i had it set up this way at first) - I took the A pillar trim off on the passenger side and the wiring was there for the interior light. | |

Other problem is that I don't have a fag lighter! Just a nice bit of plastic! My car's only a Swing, so Vauxhall decided to remove most electrical bits I think! | |

all i did to put them in is take out the panels and drill holes in them (to fit the LED). All the wiring goes to a switch just behind the gear stick (again a hole needs to be drilled), the wiring then goes from the switch to the wiring behind the fag lighter for a power supply. Solder all the connections and insulate them with electrical tape | |

Damn :( Is it possible to get cathodes that you can have come on and off with the interior light then (rather than a poxy switch!) | |

I have done this with LED, i have mounted 2 in the shelf under the glovebox and one in the kick panel in the passenger footwell, and one in each kick panel on the drivers side | |

Right, I've done a very quick search and I have learnt how to do this with Neons now, however, I was wondering if it would be possible to go down the LED route so Im not so chav and so that it also matches the other "ultra white LED's" that I've used so far :P |
