I've been trying to decide if I want to throw on a red LED underbody kit. I've never put one on a car before, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. Give me your opinion, especially if you have had these on any of your cars. Also, if you know of a good installer for the kits, let me know. Thanks!

 

go ahead! make yours unique and everyone would follow. post some pics. =)

 

if your going to put LEDs under ur car.. go with the JDM VIP look.. get LED pods.. 4 - 5 pods on each sideskirt..

 

I would do the whole jdm vip look as well. I used to have the led underbody kit on my beater car and they suck. I think you're gonna need at least 2 sets (8 bars total) to light up the underbody. You can't just use 4 bars and expect to be able to see it.

 

IS350jonny, are you saying I should get four 4 foot bars for each side of the car? That seems like overkill.

 

i think jonny ment

 

Are those 5-LED pods or 4-LED pods? I'm new to this LED stuff but have always been interested. How hard are they to install?

BTW-nice ride weesped

 

thx, mine r 5, search for llama's, he has 4 in his. i took mine to a shop to get them in, so cant chime in on how hard the install is. i guess its more how painful the credit card swipe was

 

How are your pods mounted...screws/glue/velcro? And what was the damage to the credit card?

 

Puddle lights FTW. Do LED's in the wheel wells.

If you go with LED strips. Try 2 bars and make your decision on how bright it is.
It could be cheap spreaded out LED's probably need 4 bars

 

sorry i cant be of no help. no idea about any of that haha. just go in the morning with the car, say what i want. come back after. its done. all goes on a big bill

 

it all depends on what kind of pods u buy.. most require u to drill a hole on the sideskirt to mount it.. i ended up using epoxy to glue it in after i drilled.. some pods u buy have brackets that u just screw into the sideskirt.. wiring is very simple.. just a positive and a negative u tap to a power source.. depending on how u want ur pods to light up is the tricky part to figure out what wires to tap. pricing runs from $20 on ebay to $180 for "JDM" ones.

 

I appreciate all the input. Now I just need to get some and put them on. Pics to follow...

 

I say don't do it. I was considering doing this also and I asked my friends with mercedes,bmw,audi and they all said its rice. I guess it is just a JDM thing..

 

I say nay, but I'm an old guy.
