    Well... here's the thing. I have virtually no experience with electrical, before i did this exact lighting on my old jeep, i didn't even know the difference between positive and negative.

    took me 20 mins. I'm goin outside right now to find out where to pull the wires through the firewall so i can have my switch inside, so i'll let you know.

    (trust me, I know it's illegal)

    You mean, it's HIGHLY illegal in ALBERTA ;)

    Here in Ontario (At least my city anyway) it's completely legal to have underglow on while driving as long as there's no red showing to the front of the car (because thats 'brake light' colors)

    With all the lights on my car, it kinda makes me rethink about moving to Calgary next year... there's no way I'm taking them off!!

    correct. it's illegal to have any other color of light on your vehicle other than amber, red and of course white. They say it's because if you have blue you could be mistaken for a police officer, green - a green light.
    (don't mind me, i'm training to be a cop, and i think it's a dumb rule.)

    Ya, i'm gonna go ahead an post three times in a row. It's cool. It's my thread.

    So i went outside tonight to finally wire the switch to the inside, got everything off and ready, then i ran into problems and gave up.
    couldn't find a spot in the firewall to get the wires through.
    I wanted to hook the switch into the switch covers to the left of the steering wheel but i didn't have a drill bit big enough to make it clean, so i decided to save it for another day.

    I think i wanna try to hook it up to a remote so that i can do it that way instead. cleaner

    FYI, there's already a hole in the firewall you can put wires through. That's what I did with my strobe lights yesterday.

    Mind you, we had to rip up the carpet and weird styrofoam(sp?) to get to it, but it beats drilling holes in your car.

    There's also a place to push wires through if you look where the hood hinge is. If you push 'em through thert e, they'll also come out in the passenger's foot well.

    It all depends if you want to tear your car apart to get things installed or not ;)

    There's a green cavalier with green underglow here, he has it on ALL the time. :)

    Mine's 3,000,000 colors so really, I don't think anyone's gonna think I'm anything other than a weird rainbow coming down the road half the time :p

    I have the e-mail the police officer sent me saying it was okay to drive with them on printed out and in my car, so if I ever get pulled over for them, I have proof I was told it's okay.

    i'm going to have to find this hole.

    I know there's a hole where they drilled to get my sub wiring through but it's not big enough to get any more wiring in. unfortunately.
