Dash Speaker Grille Illumination. (Updated Pics: 01/20/04)

...Yet another excuse to drive with sunglasses @ night.

Are you guys familiar with those spiral cold cathodes that can be used with computer fans? Teddy, Wes and I found another use for them. The real sexy thing about this is that the cathode fits perfectly on top of the speaker with no need to shave the edges. The grille can close with no problem at all! Seriously though, these pics don't do it justice. Check it out.

Peace,
m@

More and more lights every week, your work is awesome!! I like that, I think that speaker one is a little too bright for me but it looks good.... I used the computer spiral light and the fan that it came with when I built my amp rack in my trunk, it looks pretty good...

Yes, and yes.

UV lights could be cool alternative because they could potentially illuminate the front pillars without being too distracting. More stealthy. Hmmmmmm
