Awesome NightmareSS!

Ahh if it were only that easy... If it were I know people who would string Christmas tree lights inside their car LOL.

It's pretty simple, did it come with a in line fuse? or extra wire etc?

Do you know how to solder, I solder all my connections and use heat shrink as much as possible. Make sure you have all the tools you may need. Zip ties, electrical tape, good wire strippers, heat shrink and gun (if not a tight wrap of electrical tape works just fine).

Would you let someone else do it for you?

How long is the rear tube? I would think it would fit in between them, if not then over the top... you may need to get some reflective heat tape.

lol nah i meant to hook it up inside to play with it...make sure it works and learn how to work it...like get familiar with the controller and all the different modes...this 1 says u can create your own patterns and shit...and nope i dont have any tools...and never soldered in my life...imma take pics tom of the kit and everything in b4 and after i put it together...imma try to get one of those battery pack things u use to jump a car...my friend has one or maybe my moms bf can bring one over from work

the tube is 3feet...and it said to make sure its 10 inches away from the exhaust...i know the exhaust pipes/mufflers arent 5 ft away from another

These are not shots of my FJ, I got these off OZNIUM, but it shows the effect I had going on.

I had them behind speaker grills, and in door pockets, like this, very cool looking.

Never got around to doing the cup holders on the FJ but I plan to do so on the Camaro.

nice...ill eventually get some lil ones to stick here and there from oznium...i opened my package today and set it up...but my moms bf forgot to bring me the battery pack so i gotta wait till tom to plug it in...i took pics of the kit...how it came and all the pieces aswell as it together on my floor with no power supply...the only thing is that they didnt give me instructions on how to set up the wheel well lights with the underbody...the instructions are solely underbody...i guess the wheel well is considered an add on even though it came as a kit...ill just chat with there tech ppl tomorrow online

hopefully by tom night ill have the pics up...maybe a video...aslong as i get the battery pack i should

i took pics and a few videos but the camera died and the printer we stick the memory card into to download the photos to the computer is connected to my moms computer and its being fixed...so im gonna have to wait a bit to put them up...it looks good...very bright but a pain in the ass to figure out how to work it...u can customize it but i couldnt figure it out but i also didnt spend much time trying...

there is 1 problem tho...one of the wheel well tubes isnt working properly...it was at first but then it started acting up lata on when i turned it on the second time to show my neighbor...its not corresponding with the other tubes color and pattern wise...and it flickers on and off and pieces/sections of the tube go of and on...im a lil pissed about it but if u send back with in 14 days they handle shipping...i just hope i can send the one piece back...if i have to pack all that shit up im gonna be mad

ill find out monday when their offices hours are open

They makes these zip tie type things with double sided tape on the back side, that you can stick to inside the wheel well, then strap a zip tie to it around the tube, or you can use a self tapping screw with a plastic strap to hold it on, just be careful where you screw, and I'd put some silicon on the head while you screw it in for a water tight seal.

Yeah that would suck to have to send it all back. Sounds like a faulty unit for sure, probably a loose wire.

nice they said they are shipping out just 1 replacement tube with a return shipping label...only thing that sucks now is i packed it all away and i didnt mark the faulty tube or anything so i gotta unpack the whole shit and set it up again and see which one it is...my luck is it wont do it again and i wont know which one it is...but when the car comes and i put it on, thats when its gonna do it

lol...well i thought they were gonna make me send back the whole kit...and send it back first...cuz on the site it says that when they get it and test it out if it isnt faulty they send you back the same one and u pay for the shipping...if it is faulty they reimburse u for the shipping and pay for it to back
