Anyone know about under glow>???

i have a under glow kit ....( i bought my car about ...2 mounths ago and i just noticed when changeing my oil that i have a under kit.......but the front one is broken.........so i hooked the others Stright to the battery and they turned on.....but when i put them back in the fuse box thing it came with it does not turn on......seeing as how the front light is busted ...i figured if i pulled that one out it would work but i cant get it to ... i will post pix tommorow but can anyone help me trouble shoot???

 

im assuming just wire it so it shorts out the front light...wouldnt there be a switch for it somewhere inside the car tho to turn em on and off?

 

here is the fuse thing i was talking about..the empty hole was the front bulb but it is smashed ...so i un plugged to see if that would allow it to turn on but still no.....???

 

what's a dump valve?

 

go to like page 2 or 3 and look for a thred called "MY INTAKE" you will see....and plz if you have a question like that off topic plz pm me thx..

 

Its probaly wired in a series. So you have to put get another front light to power it. Basically if something is missing in a series nothing works. Like if you pull the bulb out of the old chrismas tree lights basically everything would go out. The new ones are wired in parallel so you don't have to worry about that...

 

yea but there is no way to like jump that one????? there has to be another way....like something lol IDK all i know is i want to have them working not jst sitting there?????

 

I think it's good how it is. Don't use underglows. Might as well slap some euros and a big wing on. Just a :attention IMO

 

no i do agree kinda that there a little tacky but i mean hey if i can get them working i can eaisly sell them on like craigslist or something you know....plus there pink lol i dont want them like on my car LOL

 

ah so just trying to get them to work. Fair enough.

As was already posted, check to see if they are wired in parallel. If they are then that could be the problem with the broken bulb. But I have a kid in highschool I knew that had them and he had some bulbs out and the string worked so idk if thats the problem.

 

Sorry for the off topic question, How long have you owned your Max?

 

i have had my max for about 2-3 mounths and befor that i had a black 95

 

Ok...

Dude I mean No offense/hate by this post whatsoever......

I understand it's your car, but you have alot of crap to take care of before you start messing with underglows and whatnot.


Things I'm Talking about:

The MESS of wires in your engine bay.... Fire Hazard

The Muffler Sticks Out Way Too Much... It Looks Tacky and Almost Ricer...

You need a Drop ASAP... If your are gonna have big rims, this is a Must.

Again Dude I'm not hating, I know I'm still Considered a Noob, and I'm not much older than you, but I think you can turn YOUR car around before it's too late.

Just looking out for you, really don't want you to get hated on by the Maxima seniors..

:-)

 

+1 on the series wiring. if you just jump a wire from the + to the - on the distribution block it should work. i wouldn't power it for too long though because there will be some resistance issues. just long ehough to see if it will flash on.

thx for careing... but see what some people dont relize is my car is for me to like and drive ... therefor if i like something i dont give a flying F*** what others think...so if someone has something to say about my car ....okay say it but ...its just words and at the end of it all im still getting into my car and driveing it.. thx tho man

 

the part that you have is the distrobution block for the individual tubes. It separates the positive and negative for each tube. You should be able to connect them with a small fuse(1-5) to the battery and they should light. there should be a litte hole on the back side of the block to plug in a cigarette lighter adapter. Good luck

 

looking at your picture again I can see the plug for hardwiring is plugged in. Just make sure that the striped wire gets positive and the solid gets ground. the black is probably grounded and the striped wire goes to a switch

 

let him put "underglow" on his car, it might take a month for him to realize how G it really is

^^^Respectable, It's ur ride do as u please.......now with your neons, I think they may have been run in series so unless u replace the broken one- the circuit may stay open thus ur light won't turn on, Im' no electrical wiz but from my understanding u could probably jump out the broken one to get them to turn on......I'm not gonna elaborate on how I would do this cause I don't know how good u are with electrical circuits and most importantly I wouldn't want u to burn ur car down. My recomendation is to take it to an automotive electrical shop (sound systems, etc.) and have them take a peep at it, could b a ballast or something.


EDIT: Didn't realize that series and parallel's were already addressed by cdg and black, leaving it though--->good luck

 

 

What's wrong with underbody LED's? I actually like them, and no I'm not a ricer. I mod tastefully (no 20" chrome, no big exhausts, no big wings, no purple HID's, etc. etc.)

 

thx for your input ...glad to see you post to help people....and whats wrong with neons.....please tell me ?? it is not ricer sooooo..... :stfu:

 

they are gay, colorful, and cheap

 

i don't see where you mention about the switch, i mean i see the module for the neons in the pic, but it does not say where it gets its positive from, cigarete lighter? park lights? alternate switch? something has to be there to control the on/off. just follow the wires, it should led right to the switch that is used for these.

 

yea, scrap it

 

You need the following to go with your underbody neons.

1) Neon glowing stem valves
2) Neon license plate bracket
3) Disco ball where dome light is

It's like a moving christmas tree

 

lol ^^ don't forget the led windshield washer nozzles

 

Underglows aren't as bad as you guys make them out to be, I mean it's not like he has 5.5 gen's w/spacers painted black, altezza's, rainguards, and a muffla................ Now THAT would be rice...........

To test the series theory, put a damn paperclip in the missing spot.

 

4th Gen threads crack me up.........tisk tisk.

 

This place never ceases to amaze me

 

all i know about underglow is that its kinda ghey

 

That's all you need to know
