well, i have four or so cold cathodes from various PC builds.. and since its 12v dc, do you think I could splice em up and turn em on?
anyone try this, and not automotive spec ones? btw- they have their own inverters - cathodes use low amperage but super high voltages... thanks This post has been edited by mark_426: Jun 25, 2005 - 5:47 PM -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

I just installed UV cathodes from Oznium in my buddys '99 Grand Am GT today. I used a single pole rocker switch.
In the installation instructions of the lightbus, step 4 says: 4. Plug a female PSU molex connecter into a male molex on the kit's PCB board. If I were you I'd probably cut off the connector and wire it into your car as long as it's all 12v equiptment. You probably dont need a switch, this lightbus is appears to be a switch itself. Edit: The website says it's 12v so I wouldn't worry. This post has been edited by Cutrara: Jul 22, 2005 - 6:58 PM -------------------- |
