Sooo... been up for 24 hours... maybe more, less... and then I didn't eat anything till 6, that's good right? Great... I looked gaunt in the mirror.
Athough I did get my red cathodes in the mail today! Whoohoooo and I spent allllllllllllllllllllll day installing them. As it's my first interior lighting install, I guess it went okay. I used 25 feet worth of cable christ... I still havn't gotten power to them though, that'll be tomo... later today.
Figure I'll disconnect the lighter and wire that to a fuse holder then to the switch and then to the cathodes... OR get a fuse tapper and place a new fuse into the box with said tapper and run a line from there to the switch and so forth. Not sure which route I'll take. Both offer advantages, the first is probably easier to hookup and diagnose, but it's behind a kicker panel that takes a bit of effort to take off. The second choice is very easy to get to... but will the tapper work properly? Who knows.
I also will probably redo the entire wiring, as I probably made my lines a bit longer than needed, instead of as short a distance as possible. The shorter the lead the brigher the light! But since I've been to the same audio place 3 times in the past.. 3 days, I figure I'll go somewhere else or order it online if possible.
The cathodes are behind the handles in the car, and are still functional. Only my mom really uses them
Well thats all for now... wish me luck in trying to get to sleep.
