i got confused a little bit. what do you mean by ground. did you just put red to positive and black to negitive? and did you connect it to a green light? was blue a typo? sry if i seem to WTF are you talking about. i just want to make sure i do it right and not blow up my car.

 

oh.sorry... i did that job long time ago that i really forgot what colour is the light bulb.
ground the black wire means u connect the black wire to any metal on your car, bolt
basically red to positive, black to metal on ur car.

 

ok so you connect the red wire to the red wire and then put the black one to metal with just a bolt. but i thought there would be no power to the lights sense there is only positive going to it. but then again i am not that good with this and thats why this forum is so good sense u all help each other out. thanks again!

 

2 Quick questions. Did those 2 LED tubes come connected? It looks like there both going to the same switch. Just wondering though.
And dondon, did u use tubes or single LEDs? Pictures? Ok I lied 3 questions

 

I am using tubes and i like it. Not TOOO bright but good enough. Sorry no pic, my car is @ a bodyshop. I will take pic as soon as i get back the car

 

All right sweet. Thanks

 

what's it doing there ?

Seems there is ALWAYS some memebers whose tsx are in the shop

 

someone hit my car.

 

That sucks!!! Anyone know what wires to tap into for some single rear LEDs or would a tube be better?

 

that sounds like a good idea. where and how would u put a switch?

 

Well i would say the best place for a switch would be in one of the empty slots next to the VSA and sunroof control switch. I'm not sure exactly how i would go about doing it. But that is where i would put it. Either that or under the dash somewhere out of site.

 

That sounds like a good idea but like u said I would not know how to do it also.

 

Well i did it before in an older car i had. I just took a switch, cut a hole in my dash, and put it in. Then attached the wires to it so it ran in between the power and the LED's. That was pretty cool but id want to pick a nicer switch if i did it in my TSX.

 

My budy wants to put LEDs under his car just to have on when we are chillen but he has a 2003 malibu. But I have no idea how to do switches and stuff like that and same with my buddy.

 

hmm...and you're really 45 ?

 

Sorry about that age thing that's how old my dad is. I am 15 I must of clicked the 1960 not 1990. Sorry about that guys. Just to let u no I have written everything on this forum though. I hope u guys still accept me to this forum. My buddy is 17 though.

 

wow you must be the youngest member with a TSX here.
you have a pretty good attitude.

 

Well I don't have a tsx (yet) my dad does though and I love it. I,dad, almost every tsx owner wants to make it go faster like at least 30-40 more hp. And I was searching for some mods and found this and said I must sign up!! So I did and all of u are very accepting thanks. But would eletric tape or a wire connecter be better for those LEDs. And I should have the blue LEDs for map door and dome light this tuesday with pics I hope.

 

so where should i ground the wires?

 

same question here

 

you can ground a wire to anywhere on the chasis, usually screws and bolts are good places to do this. Connect an eyelet to the end of your grounding wire, and put a bolt or screw somewhere under the dash through it.

 

:ibheaskshowtoputeyelettowire:

 

Can I just use the metal hinge in this picture? And then just leave it alone when I install it in the car?

 

or do i have to have the metal hinge touch metal in the car

 

i had installed neon tubes in my rsx i thought it looked pretty nice if u want me to post pictures i can

 

not really, i kind of know how it would look. all i need to know is what do to wiht the wires. i guess you could post.

 

yes please!!! I think suttle blue LEDs under the dash would look nice and match nice with the blue LED up above and above the bins. But they must not be over done!!!

 

they were all taken at night just the camera made it look like day time, except for the last one when it was around 630 and getting dark

 

wow that looks nice i just need to get those LEDs now. So you just strip the wires and connect the positive to the red then the negitive (from the LED wire) and bolt it to metal on the car? cool pics again

 

Holy crap that's bright! It looks like a tanning booth in there!

 

haha what would you expect from a RSX-er :100%stickyrice:
it's really disgusting, really, sorry

 

you're going to do that to your dad's TSX ?
I'd love to see the expression on his face when he turns it on at night

 

all right i was on rice mode there for a second. still got some of that in me. at least i moved on from the neon under body kit. We just put the dome map and door lights in though and i think i found some LEDs to use for the foot well (if thats what is even called) this is what i want to use do you think that would be ok?

 

o you just strip the wires and connect the positive to the red then the negitive (from the LED wire) and bolt it to metal on the car?

is that what i would do?

 

wow yeah that is pretty bright...def overdone!

 

yea i know that was 2 years back

1. its not leds its neon tubes(i used to sell them)
2. i only turned them on to show buyers or take pics for buyers
3. i got free install on them and didnt much care for them
4. it really wasnt that bright either or it didnt seem that bright
5. i would never do it to my tsx
6. i was just showing how the neon tubes look, also the led tubes arent as subtle either they are almost the same brightness as the tube almost.

 

so to ground the wires, i just attach them to the metal of the car?

 

do you think it would be ok to use this for the LEDs??

if you click on it it makes it larger

 

fuckleberry, do i just pull out the +/- wires from the green light?

 

So this is the wiring for the green light when i pull out the storage bin. So here's my newbie question. The red wire is positive, and I guess the black is negative, right? So if I attach the positive of my led tubes to the red, what's the point of "grounding" my other wires?
