I'd be willing to bet that there is a Controller addon box. Probably a blue little box.

That's how all the China strips are.

Yes. I dont know if you can directly pick each color but there are several presets you can choose from that will keep each tube a diffrent color from the others. You can also have is fade colors while still keeping a different color in each tube. Ill check tonight and see exactly how many different color configures presets there are for it.


Personally I like the chaser lights. I have all tubes blue with a white chaser that goes around my truck from tube to tube... pretty neat to watch. Ill get some video when my GF gets her camcorder back.


I always wondered if the underglow lights would be able to hit the ground with a truck. Your truck is taller than average and still appears to hit the ground just fine
Yea I was worried about the same thing but driving to work this morning and half the lane next to me was blue, it was pretty neat to see how much light it puts off. Im 110% satisfied with the light output, and since there LED's there a more direct beam of light so you can aim them alittle in or out unlike with neons that just give off a steady glow.




Viper,
As for a add on box I have not heard about any on there forums. Not to say one is not out there I just have yet to hear anyone speak of it and there is nothing on there site like it.

Yea i've only had them for 2 days and Ive gotten alot of looks and a few compliments from people. I leave them solid when im cruising then turn on Demo mode (cycles though all patterns/colors) when Im in a parking lot or just sitting in my driveway. Had them on at my buddies house tonight for 3+ hours while at a Halloween party.. No draw at all, buddy says with the amps it pulls it would take a solid 48 hours to possibly prevent my truck from starting.

Also im gonna hook them up to my 2 way alarm So I can turn them on and off with my key-chain... I got no other use for the "Trunk" button being it is a truck with no trunk

Do the different strips plug into a control box? Like, a main junction box?

If so, is there a vacant plug on there? It will usually be red and be 2 pin.

If you have that, that's your control port. All you need is a momentary switch, and some solder.

The tubes plug into a central ECU but there is no empty ports and they use the same connectors as a Ethernet cord.

Maybe because this guy owns his own company and created the product is why its alittle more unique. when I checked 2 weeks ago nothing came up on Ebay for his products. Even a google search just led me to there buy/sell forum. looks like most people sell there used stuff on the forum or pvt party.

I love the stuff, ill have a video later this week, I gotta get my GF's camcorder first.
