Pvc Tubes.. $5
Leds- $10
Shrink Tubes - $10
Resistors - $6
in all.. itll be about 30-35 bux.. good enuff for a bored man doin his own stuff
heres a diagram of it.. ill be makin instructions in about a week.. with sum pics..
seems like a stupid thing to do but.. hey.. why not? i already have alota pointless things in mah car.. VTech light.. Hyper Blinker..
EDIT: quick question.. when hooking up the positive wire up... would u hook it up striaght to the battery? ive seen sum cars with lights and what not... and ive looked in the hood... and theres no wries heading to the battery but the subs positive wire...
would there be another place to put the POSITIVE wire?

if you use white tubing thats really really translucent it could help give it that softer look like a neon light has

Make sure the LEDs are VERY bright for the amount you're using. I would go with a minimum of 5000mcd or the light will never reach the ground. Also, the power gets hooked up to the battery, but you could also wire a switch inbetween to turn them on or off. The sub power wire also comes directly from the battery, so you could wire it to that. You still need a switch or they'll stay on all the time. Good luck. Sounds like a sweet project.
