Give Me Light!: LEDs and Neon Lights

So I've only had this a few days but I had to write about it. My first one arrived broken in half, judging by the way it's shipped they really should protect it better, especially when it shipped in a box with other things like mine. Really good and quickly replaced. After reading other reviews I realized I needed to add more wire, which I did. It's a no-brainer if you're comfortable, but it really should have come with a longer cable as an option. At least two feet. This is roughly what I used to use to make the connection. I pulled out a couple of knobs (above the sunroof) holding the headliner and fed the wire through the same hole (it's so flimsy), routed it along the port side before pulling out the lamp. , made my connection with the included spring connector (which was at least 1/4 inch larger). But once it's like setting and forgetting, the size causes the contact to be missing, making the switch almost unusable. So just leave it in the on position to apply power. I centered it where I wanted it (the glue seems pretty tight. I wasn't expecting it to stick as well as it got into the fabric material). ready. I've been back outside at various times of darkness and I really like it. Despite what I've explained, it took about 15 minutes to install and it looks great. Check where you want the light to go before sticking it on, if you don't change your mind you might just ruin the glue.

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Very Expensive
