i have cold cathodes under my seat(driver) but the transformer is under the passeneger seat can i extend the wire buy splicing it?????

just to make it about 12" longer. is it possible or do i get an extension???

they sell them (extensions) online but i have to wait about two weeks.

 

you can extend the wire between your power source to the power inverter. never extend the wire between the cathode and the inverter, i've learned my lesson in the past.

good luck.

i'll move this to ICE so you can get more responses.

 

Just get another set of cold cathodes. It's so much easier.

 

I got the extensions for putting the lights under the backseat and it was still barely long enough, actually just a little too short; i broke a light trying to make the wire work. But with the extension cords the lights weren't any more dim. However when i had the extension and also spliced a little more wire in so i wouldn't break another light, it was noticebly dimmer. So if i were to do it again, I would definitely just put 2 per side so the transformer can be closer

 

i am going to get another set but of a different color. why have four whites and two blues (all under seats).

 

Good choice bro. ^^^

 

but i am still going to have white and blue cathodes but i am still trying to get extension or make it.

 

I put my tranny under/in the center console. Was easily able to put a single tube under each seat w/o worrying about splicing tranny wires and the like

 

Don't splice the wires. Just run a single thode off each trans if you have to (easier to just double up in some areas and gain twice the light output). The length of the wire changes the resistance just enough to make the output dimmer.

 

hmmmm..... cathodes under the "backseat" i have got to see pics of this.... did you cut holes in the floorpan with a sawzall and make a place to put them there? pic are the only thing to explain this..... post them up please

 

I'm guessing it's more along the lines of putting the cathodes under the rear of the front seat so the footwells in the back seat have a good light as well.

 

thats exactly how i got the cathodes on the rear of both front seats.



im going to dallas!!!!

Hahaha Sorry! Yeah I definitely didn't mean to say backseat. They are under the front seat like normal.

 

all of what i have put in my box (lights) was done by me.

i enjoy the work. sometimes it might be a hassle trying to find a location or just figuring out how to run the wires through someplace. all in all i have fun listening to music drinking and installing my lights.

 

See you at Sport City bro. Can't wait to see the CCFLs.

 

still looking for extensions they might be coming in

 

i bought the extensions and was ready for the sport city scion show i thought the turnout was pretty good. my kids had fun.

hope to see you guys at the next show
