I went to the digikey website and was tooling around. They have a new LED that is attached to the light tube itself. Kinda cool. They have a TON of stuff. I need to browse. I just got another deal in the mail from them a couple days ago... Check out their site.

Ok, so my stuff is on the way from Ofer. A couple of questions before I receive it. I think Tag mentioned he would tell the length of the tubes, but I seemed to have missed that.

I'm fairly handy so I can probably figure it out, but do you guys have lengths written down or should I just figure it out?

Also, did you guys tape the tubes to the trim or dash or did you not tape it down at all and let it rest in there?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-23-2011, 10:08 AM

On the length its not hard to figure out the 1 pipe is more then you need, You will end up with a small piece leftover, no tape needed its held up by the two clips that are up higher then the rest.

TJ91 · 01-23-2011, 01:08 PM

Awesome, how should we go about cutting them? Dremmel?
Sorry for the questions, im just a little excited

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-23-2011, 01:20 PM

That is good i use a big cable cuter and it cut fine then i clean the end with a file and sand paper, i finish it with a 800 grit

TJ91 · 01-23-2011, 01:26 PM

Hey Tag, with the no hole set up, does the light run the entire lenght of the passenger side pannel? Does it run all the way to the passenger door or does it somewhat dim towards the end?

Ok, I figured so on the length. The clips you're referring to that hold the pipe... they are the clips that hold the trim to the dash, correct? So you're saying keep the pipe above those clips and it is held in that way?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-23-2011, 06:45 PM

you got it.

Dr.Bender · 01-23-2011, 07:28 PM

I read everything again and have more questions.

I am going to attempt the 3 lights/No Drill mod.
1. is the driver side power connected to anything or is it loose.

2. If it is connected, won't I need 2 of Ofer's splitters? 1 for the drivers side, and 1 for the cluster behind the odometer?

3. Do you have to break the LED housing to fit it in the holes?

Thanks!

3. Do you have to bread the LED housing to fit it in the holes? No you don,t.

Thanks!

By the way your splitter gos out in the AM.

This pic you see only one light and it gos in the wiring to the driver side fuse box.

In the next two pics you will see the long dash pipe and the one light gos in behind the odometer the one on the far side gos behind the same odometer.

Here is the far side.

Ones you pull the long wire threw the opining you need to get a metal coat hanger, Make it as long as you can and slide it behind the dash to pull the wire to the splitter.
