I used Aqurium tubing and used painters tape to hold it in place while I super glued it all around the edges. After the super glued cured which was about 45 min under a fan I ran the EL Wire all around the inside of the tubing and it was kind of tuff but I used some lubrication (dish washing soap) and it went right in after that. All I had to do after that was wire the el wire to the tracktion control and walla turned out better than expected. nice solid light around the cup holder when dark. The hardest part was glueing the tubing in place where i wanted to be.

I looks white becouse of the clear aquarium tubing and the flash reflexting off the tube but the color is the same as the dash blue thats on all the gauges and i did a write up last night on how to wire the EL Wire but i guess it didnt post up, but i will do another one tonight.

If you get all the parts to it which will just be El Wire, Aquarium tubing, and the cup holder cover ill help you install it. No worries about charging anything.

I like the look ! Wonder what it would look like with a plate over it . My setup now is just the 2 leds in abl and a Camaro billet plate cover.
Not a bad price either.
