Adding floor lighting

Well, that's it, I'm tired of not having floor lighting when I open the doors like in my buick, so, I've purchased a set of White 12" CCFL tubes with single ballast, like what would be used to light a windowed computer case and I'll be installing them under the dash to illuminate the floor area and hooking them up to the interior lights. When I get the lights and get it installed, I'll post some pics, do the writeup, etc.

You can put LED's in all of the existing lights as well. Makes it whiter and brighter. Looking forward to the pics.

I've been thinking of doing this for a while now. Please post pics when you've completed your project.

I installed 4 pairs of the tubes (blue) you describe in my old Wrangler. Only problem I had with them is the cold. If it was really cold they would take a while to light up. I also had 3 of the 4 fail on me. Seems like they were sensitive to the bumpy ride.

Sorry about the delay guys, I just haven't had a lot of time lately, but I do have a voltage regulator, to help with transients, and I'll be using CCFL (cold cathodes) instead of neons, a dual tube kit meant for computer modding, reason is they last longer, are cheaper and are a bit more resilient to cold than standard neon tubes.
