Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior underglow kit

i tried searching the forums for anything on underglo kits, but it keeps sayin SQL error so i guess ill just post this. i got my underglo kit put on, and i got the varad flat bar bulbs, so i didnt think youd be able to see the bulbs outside. but the other night i got pulled over because in KS its illegal if you can see the bulbs, so im wondering if anyone has any tips on how to hide them better. the only ones you can see are the side ones so, any help would be awesome!

you cant have them on while driving..off road use only so i think you can only have them on while parked

o you need to hide the bulbs..lol sorry didnt read it good enough.. get aftermarket side skirts

yea thats what i was thinkin im gonna have to do, which sux because im a poor ass mofo right now haha. you think itll look funny with stock front and rear bumper with aftermarket side skirts?

nope it wouldnt look bad

anybody know what the law in Texas is for underglows?

YEP I DO

Same thing "the officer can't see the "source" of the light or neon tube" I live in texas about 70 miles south of dallas and i got pulled over in the town of BLOOMING GROVE do a search and find it cwsample. But i put skirts on and it was ok. I need to re-install my rear bulb to show my light.
jb

I had the Streeglow and i havent had a problem "YET" lol

see right now i have my lights connected to the plastic of the side skirts i got now, and im wondering if itll hurt anything drilling holes into the metal part of the frame a little closer to the center, i dont wanna blow the fuckin thing up haha.

hey xTc_celica, \
here is a pic of what i was telling you where to mount the tubes,
look at where the jack is in the pic, thats where the long metal bar is that runs down the car, you can see that i mounted his lights on the other side of this bar closer to the center, you should mount urs there also to avoid them being seen, it wont totally hide them but it will help , also you will get a better dispersed glow the further you mount them towards the center of the car, just remember not to go too far or else they wont be bright. just mount them like in the pic and make sure you mind the jack spots or else you will be kicking urself when you get a flat and need a jack

alright i couldnt upload the pic from the computer i am on, i had all the pics on another that is down currently. but here is a url to the pic

well you kno those lil zip tie lookin things that you mount the lights with? where could i get those at, and what are they called? because i dont kno what to mount my lights with. i did mine kinda ghetto, i jus drilled two holes in the plastic, then ran a reg. zip tie thru and held em like that.

honestly dude i dont know where to get em, they were just layin around my garage, lol. but all they are, are jumbo zip ties, you can prob pick them up at a hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes . those suckers hold nice too.

kick ass man thanx for all the help, i appreciate it. i think i got all that sheit fingered out

more than likely no matter what you do it wont matter I have a set of green under my car and a set of 4 neons throughout the inside of my car. I got a ticket for the under car neons but not for the ones inside and you can only see the glow from underneath the car and not the bulbs. I never got a ticket for the ones on the inside and you can see the neon bulbs plain as day. I was told I was getting a ticket not for the light s underneath nessassarily but because of the green tint that it gave out because it is a pigment of blue. Which is illegal in Mississippi No Blue or Red! is what I was told. The officer said that I could have white bulbs underneath and I go down the road with them on and it would be OK but what is the purpose of having white. NONE!

you can get those zip ties at home depot and they have some with an attachment for a screw that can help hold it in place thats how I have mine done. Just drill a slightly smaller hole than the screw being used and it lods snugly into place.

you can drill under the car. I did and its ok, and i made sure and checked as well.

im glad i saw this before i got my kit installed

i used black eletrical tape on the sides of the bulb, so that you cant see that side of the bulb. If you layer it enough the light wont go through the tape. If you do just the side enough so they cant see the bulb and leave enough thats not taped for it to still glow out you should be fine.
