Apparently they're coming out with a wire that will have the capability of changing color ( probably the EL driver ), but think of the possibilities..... Might need to swap out the door LED pipe for EL tube http://elwireonline.com/color_change_el_wire |

Are the large rectanglular holes too small to pass the connectors through? Just wondering if any holes need to be drilled? |

The larger rectangular holes are for the dash trim, so the whole hole will be occupied. The smaller rectangular holes will probably be used by G.M. for their ABL setup ( just a guess ). I imagine that you could use the smaller rectangular hole, if you were to hardwire the EL in ( connector is the reason for the hole ), but then if you need to dismantle, it would make thing harder.

If I swap out the blue in my doors for yellow and do yellow in my dash, will I need 3 of these? Tiny 12 Volt Constant light & Flash Inverter (0-4ft)
Will I need extra connectors or ? If I do the floor lights, do I just need to add 10ish feet of wire and 2 female connectors? |

One driver would suffice, but you would be exceeding the 4 ft length... Purchase the 4 - 8 ft driver instead , and two more MALE connectors 2 MALE connectors, and again you'll need the other driver if you exceed the 4 feet. |

Cool, I am trying blue first so I just added a couple male connectors for the floors and I upped to the 8-13' power module. If it runs too hot or bright I'll add several feet of extra wire in a coil behind the dash somewhere to bring the total footage up to 8 feet.
I'll order some yellow later maybe... it's so cheap! I'm kind of holding out to see about the rainbow-wire they're coming out with. Has anyone called them yet? I'd be curious to see what the cost of that is and what dimensions it is. It would be very cool to be able to adjust the colors! Here's my order sheet. I added an extra 4 way splitter also. I think 2 is already 1 too many but I'm getting 3 just in case I add the doors later. 3 EZ-Connection Splitters for EL Wire EZ-Connection type:4 way splitter (add 1.50) 15 2.2mm Blue-Green Polar Bright El Wire 1 Female 6" Connector 5 Male 6" Connector 3 Heatshrink Tubing 1.5mm 1 12 Volt Constant & Flash Inverter 8-13ft |

You should probably get the yellow wire at the same time ( save on shipping ) !? |

Oh sorry, when I say "hot" I mean too much voltage/too bright. I've already placed the order so I'll just coil up some extra behind the dash or find something else that needs a little light. Maybe I'll just put two rows at the feet.
