Re: night lights!
I want to get green lights in the footwells, can you post a few tips on how you wired then and attached them?

Re: night lights!
I'm thinking about making my cat glow in the dark, any suggestions of where I should put the batteries?

Re: night lights!
Strangely I was gonna do a similar thing with my goldfish, but I thought I'd try it with mains voltage rather than mess about with batteries. Any thoughts?

Re: night lights!
they are screwed in under the dash and plugged in the cigarette lighter,and you could always paint the cat with glow in the dark paint.

Re: night lights!
I tried that with my first cat but it turned out to be poisonous.

Do those lights shine out the bottom of the car, like these?

Re: night lights!
What I find is when fitting neons to the underside of the car is that for best effect make sure you can't see the tubes when on, just the glow
