I would like to thank KRONOS on xmodworld for this tut.

There is an easy way to do a neon underglow than hooking up a bunch of leds and have spotlights under the car it is supposed to be a soft glow coming evenly from under the car well what you do is go to radio shack and buy a Afterglow playstation 2 controller it has a little piece of string light that is inside the controller take apart the controller and remofe the string light, yes the controller is reusable it just won't glow there are 2 pins on your headlight plug for your headlights that put out 6 volts if i remember correctly it is the 2 closest toward the rear of the car well the red wire goes to the 3rd pin and the black goes to the 4th when you tuen on the car the string should glow if it dosent then make sure that the two connectors are not touching and you mount the pc board that drives the string light some where on the chassis of the car or the bottom of the body then you just super glue the string light to the body of the car as low as possible to get brighest glow and keep it clean looking and you will have a bad *** underglow it comes in 2 colors for now red and blue but it doesn't draw much current so run time is not really affectedit will make a strange high pitched sound but this is normal for it i think it is the transformer

ooooooooor you can just search for electro luminescent (EL) wire at any computer mod store/website, and it will be a lot cheaper, for more, and will likley come with instructions

well yeah the EL wire's cheap but what would it hook up to and how much weight would it add on?i think its easier to do the pelican thing.just go on e-bay and bid for a controller and they're like 2 bucks.well thats how much i got mine for.

most EL wire that u find in stores runs off of 12 volts. for my underglow, i bought the afterglow controller, took out the neon wire and transformer, put the controller back together and returned it. so if u buy EL wire from the store, ur gonna have to mod it to work off of 4.8volts and up.
here is wut my 350z looks like with the afterglow neon. i still have to hide some of the wire tho.
