VIP_tC08 Fort Lauderdale Florida, US Godlike Advisor	So for my next mod, i have plans to put some blue lighting in my rear hatch to show off my set up, and also to have some kind of light back there, since the custom enclosures i had made cover up the side light switch....So i was wondering what do you all think would be a good LED lighting set up that would be ideal for my rear hatch area, and also where would be the best place to fit it at, here's my set up: '08 // Flint Mica // tC

VIP_tC08 Fort Lauderdale Florida, US Godlike Advisor	hey thanks i never thought of using their flexibile led strips, i thought my only option would probably be was to use their cathodes, but i know those would probably be difficult to mount, and would stick out. '08 // Flint Mica // tC

tc1stgen Killeen Texas, US Scion Guru	I have flexible strips in my engine bay. They are really thin and when my hood is popped and the lights are on, you have no idea where the lights are coming from because all you can see is the glow. It looks pretty sweet. So if you are looking to achieve this same thing in your hatch, go with the same strips! Ask me about Innovative Car Works! LED's is their specialty! http://www.ItsMyScion.com/tc1stgen http://www.myspace.com/tc1stgen http://www.tunerfriends.c...mber.php?u=13341&8685 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3084016 "NOS is like a hot girl with STD's, you want to hit it but are afraid of the consequences!"

NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	installing those led strips, would i be able to just split them with my 12v cable to my amp or do i have to run another wire to my battery?

tc1stgen Killeen Texas, US Scion Guru	Run another wire to the battery. You don't want to take any power away from your amp even though LED's don't draw all that much power. You should always do it individual rather than trying to take an easy route. Ask me about Innovative Car Works!
