I buy all of my LED parts from Oznium.com, I used to use autolumination.com but there stuff isnt as good as Oznium.

I also bought a bunch of the farmers parts.

I have plugins in my turnsignals and I want them too look brighter during the day, next step is to take apart the lense from the housing on my tail light and I'll use those oznium strips inside for a mega bright turn signal in the rear.

I tested to see if this would work in the evo today and it will. Works perfect. The only problem is I need to find the simplest place I can steal +12V all of the time. The wire needs to be hot at all times. Any tips?

I actually hate any inside lights, I turn the dash lights all the way down (wish I could turn off completely) same with all the instruiment and turn off clock would be great too. I even dissconnected the wireing to the guages the previous owner had because they were crazy bright lol. Its much more relaxing to drive in pitch darkness at night inside the cabbin IMO.

You have the colors? I was going to tap it directly into the fused side of a wire because thats cleaner than going right onto the box.

I also tested to double check this didnt affect the range of the keyless. Was able to walk halfway down the street with no problems. For testing purposes I used the hot side of the battery for power, and the test was run on the RR door. The way it is set up is exactly like my truck.

Ive seen these neon tube lights that you can plug right into your cigarette lighter and stick under your seats for about $24 at Autozone or Advance Auto Parts..same premise, except..well you have to use the cigarette lighter instead of connecting to the wiring of the car lol

Note: LED's do not add HP.

But to each his own.

+1 to the Evo Death Roster.
