lol yea, i'm thinking maybe wire them to the door lights if possible so they come on when the door opens... would a 9.5 inch be too long, and show too much light? should i go smaller?Rob.Vegan wrote:I think the UV will look nice, but don't drive around with it on. Your eyes will start straining, I'm not sure the exact science behind it, something with rods and cones in your eyes. Doc has more info on that you can ask him
That s***'ll melt your brain pretty damn quick. If it's in your footwells it might not be as much of a problem though...mine are in my air vents so you really get the full glow from them! If you do decide to go with UV/blacklight, remember to get 1-1/2 or 2 times as many lights as you would for normal LEDs. I think I mentioned this before, but I figure it's worth throwing out there once again...UV LEDs aren't very bright at all. They're a much shorter wavelength than the other colours and therefore have less projected visible light.Rob.Vegan wrote:I think the UV will look nice, but don't drive around with it on.
lol i don't think i knew that you had to double up the amount of UV/blacklight. do you have some pics of your vents with them? i saw the 1 pic on the "post your interior LED setup" but it's at a side angle. do you have a more clearer shot?ESP wrote: That s***'ll melt your brain pretty damn quick.

be diff i am i got red and white EVERYWHERE lol.......blue and white is sick i did vtechniques underglow like that.....you technicaly cant drive with them on but some places let u but i know ny and surrounding arentsrwong wrote:yea, i'll prob just stick with blue then.... it IS my favorite color... lol =)
for those that have footwell LEDs, do you usually keep them on while driving? or do you use a switch to turn them on when you want them to come on?
No a 9.5 inch wouldn't be too long thats around the size i have and its perfect.srwong wrote:the footweels look awesome DaCoupe...

is there a way to have it turn on when the doors open & also have it hooked up to a switch so I can turn them on/off when doors are closed?Rob.Vegan wrote:You can definitely tap into your step lights (on the door) but unless you split the wire you will only to be able to have those lights on while the doors are open which kind of sucks.
I have one led strip under my seat and it's hooked up to my rear defroster
yea, i'm still kinda undecided about color lolPhEnoM78 wrote:be diff i am i got red and white EVERYWHERE lol.......blue and white is sick i did vtechniques underglow like that.....you technicaly cant drive with them on but some places let u but i know ny and surrounding arent

I'm pretty sure if you grab the power wires from the LED and connect them to two seperate wires (one leading to the power wire of the door, and the other to the switch) it should work from both.srwong wrote:

ok cool. i'm gonna have to get some time to do this. now, ESP said to get 1-1/2 or 2 times as many lights as you would for normal LEDs with the UV/blacklight. now would this still be true if I get a 9.5 inch flexibile LED strip from Oznium?Rob.Vegan wrote:I'm pretty sure if you grab the power wires from the LED and connect them to two seperate wires (one leading to the power wire of the door, and the other to the switch) it should work from both.
ok cool... come on Phenom & SurmanM, let's hear some feedback!Rob.Vegan wrote:I would double up. I have one blue 9.5" strip under each side of the dash (driver and passenger) and it's just bright enough. I think doubling up the UV would be perfect.
Also with my last post about splitting the wires, let Phenom or SurmanM reply to that because I am not 100% sure that would work but I am like 97% sure. Just don't want you going out and wasting money if it wouldn't work ya know
ok if ur gonna do this the best way is to do what i did.......Put one set under the dash "by ur feet" and the other one under the bar that pushes the seat back.srwong wrote:

as to the part with the wiring im not sure on that but i wouldnt do that bc its gonna be annoying to have a set hooked up like that. Meaning ude have wires sticking out bc i doubt u can hide them perfectly "not doubting u just doubting space". If you want to add leds to like ur doors or under the doors and wire em to the "open door turn on part" itd be better than doing the whole footwels like that. And you want the leds to last best way is to not have them on all the time i would just throw a switch to em bc "technically" if u have it set up like this it could be looked at as illegal if u get a d!ck cop "or by me it would be",,,,,,we cant have any footwell or underglow on while driving. Just do a switch and u can turn em on every time u get in if u want.
Oh there is a contraption that does "split" the wires so u could run it to the doors too ive seen it b4 so IT CAN BE DONE BUT i would just stick to a switch bc i wouldnt know where to wire it w/out seeing it
def wire them together u gotta think of it like this when therfe on what will look better w/ or w/out the cupholders and unless u throw alot of garbadge in them itll look good lolsrwong wrote:

thanks for all the info, putting one under the seat does sound a lot better than having 2 under the dash. I most likely will go with a switch when I hook them up. Now should I do a separate switch for the footwells, or should I just hook them up to the switch I have for my cup holders?
lol awesome, ty so much... i luvs my altima family.... u guys are the bestPhEnoM78 wrote:def wire them together u gotta think of it like this when therfe on what will look better w/ or w/out the cupholders and unless u throw alot of garbadge in them itll look good lol
ah, sweeeet! gotta love the easy parts...ESP wrote:3M double sided tape is your bestest friend!
I agree BUT when you do the ones scratch that IF you do the ones on the support bar under the seat "the one that moves it bk n forth" use both the tape AND get those lock/twist tie things and use like 3 of em i could take a pic if need beESP wrote:3M double sided tape is your bestest friend!
idk where under the seat i'm going to put them, havent really looked for a spot yet... lolPhEnoM78 wrote:I agree BUT when you do the ones scratch that IF you do the ones on the support bar under the seat "the one that moves it bk n forth" use both the tape AND get those lock/twist tie things and use like 3 of em i could take a pic if need be
i bought them from OzniumRob.Vegan wrote:If you're buying lights from oznium, or superbrightleds or I guess any other manufacturer, I'm sure they come with the tape. All my light strips from oznium did.
ohhhhhh wait if u have the seats that move w/ a button i dont think ull have the same bar hmmm well if u cant find it email me n ill send u a pic of what im talkin boutsrwong wrote:

where did you put yours? did you just lay it under the seat? or did you mount it somewhere?Rob.Vegan wrote:Ya with my extra LED strip I just have it resting under my seat. I wish I had a manual seat, these automatic ones are a pain to move..
