You are right but 1150 mm is 45 1/4 " and the long plastic on the dash is 35 1/2 " long so 1 pic will do the tow sides of the dash

rharon · 08-25-2009, 08:56 AM

I am not sure that a 5 mm piece will fit behind the dash.....

Nice Pic.

Happy B-Day, and Enjoy your drive to Yosemite.

Take plenty of Pics.

Ok, not to sound too lazy

But is there a comprehensive summary of exactly what you need and how to connect the ABL for the dash? Does the door ABL just connect if you remove the tape? Is there something to run, or just to buy parts and install? It sounds like the tubing is already there on the dash but no illumination is currently connected.

I guess I'm asking for ABL for dummies

montej23 · 08-26-2009, 09:22 AM

Im with you Michael i would just like to see a condensed version and almost a step by step.

Rikarus · 08-26-2009, 09:23 AM

There is no tubing in the dash, for now you have to use EL wire or EL Tape, back in the middle of the thread is a write up by Techboxx.

Hi Michael, well I havn't got to my writeup done. Just to many things happening right now. My apoligies to everyone.

You will have to buy all the parts, connectors, lighting individually, currently there isn't a kit out there.

There is no tubing behind the dash, and there is minimal space behind there as well. Unless you want to trim to be pushed out some.

Also I say possibly hold off and see what 2SSRS comes with from the light tubes although I am worried they might be two thick, I do hope it works.

Michael_Js · 08-26-2009, 11:07 AM

Ok, thanks for all the input. I know there's lots of great info here, just not assembled. I have no issue buying all the parts and doing the work, just not sure how/what to handle it all. I'll be patient

Thanks!
Michael J.
