Relay

Add a relay to this wire, then have it power a 2,000,000 CP spotlight from inside the armrest. Actually, I put some colored film inside mine (simlar to the stuff they put in lights in a theater) to make my car shine blue. Take your bulb to AutoZone and see what is similar in size, but has more Watts. Have fun.

where do you live? if you're in any area near rice shops (aka auto performace shops) you can pick them up there. they'll tend to have the blue tint on the bulbs, but when they light up, they "look" bright white.
