maybe try their website or just buy a kit and check out the instructions.

thank you for saying what we were all thinking........i knew someone would step up to the plate and call rice! god i love the people on this board, always there when I need them.
P.S. im being serious, no sarcasm involved in this post.
Hahah... rice doesn't quite cover it. I mean, in all seriousness... its not like they're even unique anymore... everyone's seen them, and they're just not impressive anymore. Plus, no matter if they're LED or neon, they break, burn out, and cause extra strain on your battery and alternator. And just think... how often are you actually going to use them? But if you must install them, do it right, and do it carefully. Meaning no hanging wires, and no "toaster" look where you can see the bulbs...Originally posted by TCrazy+Sep 5 2004, 08:14 PM-->QUOTE (TCrazy @ Sep 5 2004, 08:14 PM)thank you for saying what we were all thinking........i knew someone would step up to the plate and call rice! god i love the people on this board, always there when I need them.-T![]()

i beg to differ, although that is my opinion. To each his own, I guess. I just don't see the point of drawing so much attention to the car at night, it's a distraction for others on the road...it's like wearing a billboard saying 'LOOK AT MEEEEE!!" I see no sense in underbody lights. If you want to make your car look like it's "hovering" instead of actually driving on the road, just get one of these:

Now THAT'S not rice.
Now THAT'S not rice.
I'm thinking about getting the lights for my car, but only for when I'm with the other Scions in my local scion owners club....
We go to a local car show every Saturday (well, we're supposed to but I've only been able to make it to a few).... So far I'm the only tC in the group, and I'm also the only one without major mods to the car (wheels, Altezza lights, sub/amp, and light kits).
When we're there at night and everyone (not just the Scions) lights their cars up, and my Flint Mica - which obviously doesn't stand out at night...ESPECIALLY when parked next to boxes - looks a little lonely.

I'd never use them for driving around (it's illegal in VA anyways)...just for when I'm parked somewhere, shooting the $hit with friends, or showing off the car.
However, although I'd like to get the lights I have never, ever messed with anything electrical and I'm worried that I'll completely screw something up. Getting under the car is a VERY big deal to me...messing with electrical things is even bigger...
Sooner or later I'll get up the nerve though...I'm thinking of Cold Cathode lights for the interior (found a really nice kit on Ebay that has a switch that pops right into the dash near the side mirror controls) and LEDs for the underground (since they don't break as easily)...and they looked brighter on the xB I saw, sitting right next to one with Neons....
