Okay, I've got my cold cathode tubes mounted in my map pockets, but I need to get power to them. I can't, for the LIFE of me, figure how to get to the wire passthru for the door. I hate the way wires look just hanging there.
Any clues?
2nd question, I got a bunch of the Dual Cold Cathode tube setups, but you can't extend the wires AFTER the transformer or the lights get REALLY dim. Do most cold cathodes use the same connectors? I want to know because I'm going to try to get some ring ones to put in my door vents.

that's exactly what I did... exactly like Phorq's setup. Just drill a hole in that plug and pass the wires through.
I just used wire taps and hooked my white haloz up to my side markers, so they all come on together, then have a switch to activate my blue haloz whenever I want.

So there's no way to get the wires thru that passthru?
I've got some Blue loom, it might look good in there like that. DOesn't the door crush the loom though?
Anyone know about the Cold Cathode wiring that I asked about?

Why don't you run the wires thru the existing wire bundle? Their is a tool that will allow you to run the wires and its alot cleaner than the picture. I know this is how I got my power door actuator to work on my car and it looks stock.
Just remove the cover from both sides and run the wires thru. No holes to do at all.

yeah what Boricua said,... remove the kick panel there, there's not MUCH room, but you should be able to run some cables, what gauge wires are they?

Well, the only wires I need to run thru there are like 1 14 guage for power from my switches, and the 2 for my car alarm/door lock's, I need to re route those.
So take off the kick plate?
You mean the fuse cover? Or the surrounding part?
