Mine was dark when it all began...
Now it pretty bright, without lights. I would like to add some lights aswell. I am waiting until I see someone produce the multicolor LED light bars. I think fading to all the colors of the rainbow would produce some killer lighting effects in the trunk area.
There is a princess auto (industrial surplus liquidation store) here and they have HUNDREDS of neons, led light bars and other "ricer" stuff no one would buy, all marked down under $10.00 for the 24" and under $5.00 for the 16" and shorter ones. If I wanted to do lighting, I could go absolutely nuts. Maybe you can find a similar deal...

I dont have a light in the trunk anyway, i figured if i was gonna replace it, might as well give it a little nice effect to light up my junk. im not looking for $200 lights here, just something small to light up the place. If i wanted to go a step further, maybe id do interior neon. MAYBE. There isnt a whole lot i can do to pimp out the exterior of my car because its kind of dinged up. theres a lot of scratches and dents. the rear passenger door has some damage courtesy of my sister taking a tight turn around a cement barrier. On that note, how do you guys take care of your paint jobs? i probably need to patch up some spots before they start rusting.

I see you're in Canada (same as me), and Canadian Tire has a 12 inch multi-coloured neon light. apparently it plugs into the 12 volt adapter but theres probably a way to wire it into the system. The link is: http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/produ ... 7932642500
Thanks 88_Cutlass, I've never actually seen those ones before. I will be sure to check them out next time Im at Canadian tire. I am thinking of the actual RGB led's that you see in a lot of novelty toys lately, that can fade to any color of the rainbow. They're VERY cool.
