New EL floor lighting!

I had an extra 5 feet of neo blue el cable so I thought I'd throw it in. It's stretched across the rear floor near the edge where the carpet meets the seats. I'll post up pics when it gets dark. The wire is blue during the day, but it's not very visible unless you look down there. Not too ricey right?

Okay okay that didn't work out. But I got a better idea to tape the string light under the slider for the front seats. You can't see the string unless your head is on the floor. So...the only problem now is will they be bright enough at night. We'll see.

wedging under the seats is ricey because you still see the cable. This way they're under the seats and I'm hoping will kinda make the rear floor glow like neons. I have blue neons in front under the dash, but they don't go under the seats so it's kinda dark in the back

Pics coming in 30 mins.

Okay no pics cause it's not really bright enough for the camera. But it's still noticable as a cool glow effect right under the seat when you're in the back. And it's that blue-green indiglo color instead of blue so it's a nice contrast (it matches the deck display and the gauge backlight). I'm happy with it

Um no, it's only the glow from the seats. Good try tho I'm gonna try and go to a dark place and take pics...if I make it through the car wash this time.
