BANNED. for life, you moron.
I have a pair under my dash, and a pair under both seats. I don't use them much, they're not as cool as I used to think. I wired them to come on with my parking lights but they have a switch, too. If you're gonna buy some, buy cold cathode tubes from www.oznium.com. They're pretty bright, and cheaper than your walmart or autozone variety. They don't have a cigarette lighter plug on them, though, but thats a good thing. You need basic wiring skills and some zip-ties to install them.

yeah, I have uhh...6 sets in the car, and another 3 in the trunk.... heh, so yeah 18 tubes total..... really easy to wire up, red to 12 volt, black to a ground... try to hid wires, or it looks like poo......, and DO NOT mount them on anything that flexes, like molded plastic in ur trunk, if you do, use zip ties, and leave a good 1-1.5 cm of play for them to move, ive broke about 3 tubes that way.... and if anyone asks, yes it is legal to drive with them, at least in NH it is.... i asked a cop, he said yeah, as long as you can see your good.... so have fun man...
ive wired mine to curtasy switch open door light on smile.gif

I've wanted to do this but then I always go back to wanting to spend money towards performance....(mabey when I tear down my car I'll add some.

Probably some double sided tape would work...
