So I had some extra cathodes sitting around and my directwire just came in so I decided to hook em all up today. Also wanted to take some pics of the altima 18's that I recently put on. So here are some pics for yall.

The car w/ the new 18's. I'll drop it this summer along with some lower profile tires.





Hardwired Radar



Mute button located by the steering wheel.

 

In attempt to create some ambient lighting, I mounted a cathode underneath my cupholders and I drilled a couple holes to let the light through. I like the look of it at night with some drinks in the cupholders.




My other cathodes I used for some footwell lighting, On the driver's side, I unintentionally mounted where the plastic panel underneath blocked most of the lights from showing so that is why the passenger side seems a whole lot brighter. (Shot at a very high iso, sorry for the grainy pics)

 

Some recent pictures i like.



Rep the Org!

Comments and criticism welcome.

 

I like the glowing bottle of water...

 

man i really like the cup holder lighting... i might have to steal your idea when i get ready for show.

you keep saying cathode... i'm assuming they are leds?

 

cathode is a different form of lighting, its kind of like a neon tube, only the lighting filament(not quite sure that's the right word) is different. I would have used leds for my cupholders, but i just had a spare cathode laying around and I experimented with the idea. I might change the cathode out with some superflux leds later on.

cathodes look like this


Brad - Yah I love the water bottle tooo, i might start carrying around water bottles for looks

 

its like little night club in ya car. in the cupholder lit. put some patron. some Henny and Hipnotic

 

Always love to see those sage mists!

Everything looks really good so far. Love the wheels.

 

SoMarvelus - Haha I could add a sound thing to my cathodes and make it dance to my music *wink*

sexiimaxii - Thanks, sad to see another sage mist has to goo!

nice wrok everyone.im more than interested in doing sumin.

 

pretty kool. wats the radar hardwired to the sunroof switch? and how did u mount the mute button?

 

I ordered a directwire from the escort site and with the direct wire I tapped into the positive wire leading into my cigarette lighter with the provided 3m tap and then routed the negative wire to a ground on my car. Then I routed the cord up my A pillar up along the headliner. The switch just comes up from underneath my steering wheel mounted with velcro that was provided.
