Well, finally got off my lazy arse and installed the undercarriage LEDs. I have had them for a few months now. It was 80 degrees and sunny today, so perfect weather for an install. Right now, the lights are ziptied in place pending darkness to check out the light pattern. I ended up installing the side lights above the sliders, nice and protected. The rear light tucked into the hitch/gas tank skidplate intersection quite nicely. The only problem was the front one. It is sitting on top of the frame right under the radiator cross member. A little high, but well protected. The glory of these lights is that I left plenty of slack for them to be utilized as LED droplights. I now have a "droplight" on every quadrant of the vehicle. Granted they are yellow, but that will work fine for night visibility if you have to change a tire, or do minor repairs. I will post some pics after dark. I did play with the lights, there is ZERO spotting. Even if you put it flush with the floor, no spots.

Sorry if the pics are blurry, no flash nightshot with shaky hands =blurry. It was a clean install, you can't see the tubes outside the vehicle. I hate when I see cars and you can see the tubes, its just tacky. I know I am acting like a teenager, neons were a big deal in the mid 90s, I am bringing it back, only no stupid glass neon lights that are fragile, need transformers and are finicky when its cold. These use very little current, plastic tubes, and don't care what the temp is. I RTVed all of the tube ends and wire penetrations to increase their water resistance. This only cost me somewhere around 50 bucks on Ebay. 




When the zombie revolution starts, my VX can go anywhere, let my know how far the Honda Civic makes it...well, at least as long as I can fuel my lousy 12mpg.
