It would help if we knew what kit you had, it would make things much easier

But this guide may have something to help you, not sure. Oznium's Guide

If you don't know how to do it, then take it to a professional for installation.

It's simple, but if you have problems, just take it to a store to install it, and just ask if they can show you how they did it."
Thats what someone very wise told me a long time ago, of course i didn't listen , but i did get it, eventually, it just takes time, do some searches on firewall it will make a lot of sense on how to get the wires in.

Good Luck!

how much did you pay for them? Neons are dead, LED's are the future of underbodies, and the future is now...

Because you have to worry about transformers, and if the tube breaks, its over for that tube, where as if a tube breaks on the led, its just exposed, but it still works.

I broke both the LED side tubes on my previous car (poorly placed hydraulic lift, oops), but the kit still worked and the appearance was not affected in any way. I just left it broken and kept using it like normal, because you can't see the broken glass unless you are under the car.

Anyway, the point is that LED kits are really durable.

Its just that these aren't going to be worth the effort of putting them on, because they are going to break. But I have already said how to get the wires into the car. And supposedly the tC has notches for underbody kits, but i'm not sure.

Optx by Streetglow are sooooooooo 1990's.

But back to the question...route wires through the firewall, and yes, there is room for the tubes to fit snuggly underneath.
