Anybody have underglow? A buddy i know just got multi-colors on his Wrangler, and they're awesome. I scanned the site but couldn't find any recent posts...sorry if this should be in electronics?

I'm looking for a multi color kit, preferably that can thump with the music? Anyone have any knowledge about this?

A cop told him he could ride with them on, so long as they weren't flashing, red, or blue.

Also, how sturdy are these things? I imagine neon tubes shattering daily...but LED bars should be able to take a beating, right?

thanks
joe

www.oznium.com has every single type of LED your little heart desires. I, however, do run neons and haven't had problems except for the one on the front of the '09 that I broke not paying attention.

I just installed a single color (red) LED Underglow Kit from ledunderbody.com. They also carry the multicolor kits and the control box can be connected to thump to music. The kit also has strobe, fading and chase effects. You may want to check them out.

WOW thanks. This site is great! I thought Oznium had low prices...

so theres 2 kits. one has 7 colors, one has a million colors. they're both 4 tubes. Why are they the same price? The million color kit has a higher "MSRP"....but those are always fake.

Like, is there a reason why the seemingly better million color kit is the same price....a catch?

If not, i'll be purchasing this kit sooooooooon.

Also, does the kit thump with the music via microphone or direct input?

I'm not sure why they priced it that way?

My kit came with two cables: one cable has a built in microphone and a light that flickers when it see's input from the remote and another one that is to connect to the audio output from your radio. There is a connection on the Control Box for each of these wires. Right now I only have the microphone connected because I didn't want to pull my radio when I did the install.

where did you guys put your control box? I've been thinking of a nice place in my xb for it, not visable but easily reachable. Either in the center armrest.

It would be amazing to have it mounted inside my overhead console box, but that would require a lot of wiring up the A-Pillar and under the headliner?

otherwise it could be screwed under the shift-box?

the websites wide variety in prices and sets makes me think some might be more bright than others....do you think the million-color set wouldn't be as bright as one dedicatied to 1 or 7 colors?

 

[xbinrochester]

I ran my wires through the hole behind the glovebox, so I just put it in there until I think of a better place. I just use the remote, so having the control box visible or assessable wasn't a concern.

I haven't seen the multiple color tubes yet, so I can't say if one is brighter than the next.

ok. i'm ditching prom and spending the money on something better.

I just bought this: http://www.ledunderbody.com/million-color-ledglow-4pc-wireless-led-underbody-neon-lighting-kit.aspx

with 4 additional interior tubes. Customer Service told me they'd also be million color tubes.

I'll keep you guys posted, and definately put up final pics; either here or in a new thread.

 

[xbinrochester]

Definitely keep us posted

Whatever floats your boat... Lol. In my opinion: Prom > xB mods. Yeah, my xB is stock (besides satellite radio and front speakers), but I couldn't ask for anything more than what I already have. Gas is the only thing I'll be buying for my car for a long time probably.

Have fun with your LEDs though. Can't wait to see pics.

Came in yesterday....All the boxes read 7-color kid, part number LU-M01. I ordered the Million color kit, number LU-M02. I called customer service and i was assured (in not a very convincing way) that they shipped product LU-M02 in LU-M01's box...weird. That just makes me think, that even if they do that, this new kit is cheaper than the rest and doesn't have its own box cause its like a crappy 3rd party kit. ugh i hope they're awesome!

I think i might drive it 2 hours up to greenville tomorrow to Masters Car Stereo...cause i have $100 giftcard from a Scion United show to use....anyone had any experience with Masters? They didn't give me an appointment time, or even check the books, they just told me to drop it off tomorrow morning...maybe i should call and let them know i'm coming from 2 hours out?

 

[xbinrochester]

Keep us posted. Did they give you an idea to what they would charge you to install the kit?

lets see some pics. I wanna get an orange underglow LED kit but gotta find the right one.

 

[joemader]

they didn't give me a quote. the guy on the phone was nice, but super short.

"Do you guys install underbody leds?"
"We do."
"And Interior LEDs as well?"
"We do."
"Do you have any open appointments for thursday?"
"We do. Just drop it off thursday morning."

That was our entire convo. I didn't tell him i had a giftcard, just incase they would think to up the price....

 

[xbinrochester]

Let me know what they charge you.

 

[joemader]

over 11 hours later, and i have LEDs.

They worked for about 5 hours, and stuck to their $300 quote. I had the $100 giftcard, thank goodness.

Because of the skid plate under the front bumper, that LED bar is a little farther forward....i have to be even more careful leaving parking lots and on speedbumps. It really bugs me because you can see the bar when youre like 15+ feet from the car....but i guess theres nothing else that couldve been done. The installer also placed the remote receiver in a ridiculous location, above my air control knobs, not even centered. i may try to move this to the knockout switch on the shifter box.

The interior bars cant do all the crazy patterns the exterior bars can, and i don't know if im mad at ledunderbody for not telling me that yet; especially after i emailed them. Also the direct in for the music requires RCA heads (not included) to be soldered on, so i only have it hooked via the mic.

Other than all of that, i really like them! They are definately bright and the price was right ($150 for 4 ext bars and 4 int bars).
The remote is cool and the lights can be on w/o the keys in the ignition. Of all the patterns, solid color is still my favorite, and this kit offers many different colors, including variable greens, blues, pinks, and purples.

I had the interior bars placed under the front dash, and in the cubbies under the back seats; which required the installer to completely remove the back seat. They look great and send out a nice even bar of color on the the backs of the front seats.

I'll post pics in a bit.

It's not a skid plate, it's a plastic splash guard. I removed mine and installed the tube on the lower side of the radiator supports. You can't see it and I don't seem to get anymore water in the engine compartment with the guard removed.

I don't have the interior light kit so I have a question, by you using the same lighting controller, can you turn the interior lights on separate from the underglow tubes or if you turn the underglows on everything will turn on?
