Fenix's photo gallery 		not as much as you think, splicing wires isnt hard at all. the toughest part is snaking the wires so you dont see them. What i did with the LED's under the seats and under the driver and passenger console is hook it up to a switch so i dont have any wires hangning out or pluged into the cig lighter. It looks much cleaner.

19Accord97's photo gallery 		Neon will have more of a glow, but so will the leds.  The leds draw less power.  Either one will look good!

Fenix's photo gallery 		my kit came with a controler/distributer box, that the leds plugged into. but it did have the same switch. i put the switch in the glove box and snaked the wires behind the center console. And hooked the whole system up to a toggle switch so all i have to do is flip the switch and the lights are glowing. Ill tell you this, when its done right it looks great. And those pics i took are only of the blue color, i have it fade through all 7 colors. Looks great. Took me bout and hour, the toughest part was actually placing the rods so you cant see them.
