Excellent job!!!!

You got the 12" Cathodes right?

OH! try getting a tripod for your camera and then set it on timer.... Or place it on a table or something solid. See if that helps!
Yeah I can't wait to try out the nitrous, I don't have the solinoids wired up yet. Yes I used the 12" cathodes one red, one blue on each side with a control box for each cathode. Thanks for the camera tip!!

Reviving an old thread. I just did this last night and you DO NOT need to remove the wheels I did the drivers side and turned the wheels so they pointed me. Gave me enough room to remove everything and get it installed. Then I broke a tube being crazy with a dremel so Ill get some pics when both sides are finished

Bringing this topic back to the surface again. Are there companies that sell these kits or is it exclusively something you have to put together completely from scratch?

I'm currently in the progress of assembling a kit that's sensitive to engine sound: AKA the higher your engine speed, he brighter the lights get. I expect the final design with installation instructions to be available at the beginning of next week. PM me if you're interested.

Just a quick question about red, I thought red in the front of the car was not legal, You say it is as a side marker, But the side marker that is red is in the rear not the front.

Local laws differ from state to state. In texas GLOW of any color is perfectly legal as long as the source cannot be seen and the glow doesn't reach more then 30 inches from any part of the car.

You may want to include a switch that will allow the user to choose to have it always on (when the car is on) or have it sound activated. Then you can sell it to both crowds.

The control module has such a switch. However it requires the user to open the hood and remove the module from the enclosure to change modes.

That's fine. I don't imagine people needing to change modes on the fly. How much are you looking to sell your kit for? Are you looking for a business partner?
