How to install LED under car lights

Are you having trouble installing LED under car lights onto your
vehicle? Or maybe your just not sure where all the wires for the under
car lights go? Let us show you all the "in's & out's" of this type of
installation - which i should mention, is designed with the "Novice" in
mind.

The first thing you'll need to do when installing LED under car lights,
is to find where you want to mount the LED tubes. Be sure to keep their
location in mind while doing the wiring part of the installation, so
you can allow for the correct lengths of the wires.

It is ideal to mount the LED tubes so as they are centered between the
overall length of the vehicle for optimal appearance. Tubes should be
positioned on the chassis of the vehicle so as they are not visible.
Visible LED car lights are prohibited by law in most cities.

You'll now need to disconnect the battery before starting on the
installation and the drilling of holes. Do this by disconnecting the
negative battery cable. This LED under car lights installation involves
disconnecting the battery first and foremost for safety reasons, and so
you don't "short-out" your car wiring.
The easiest way to mount the LED tubes is to start the screws in the
brackets first,(supplied in kit) then holding the bracket in place,
insert and tighten the screws into the holes. Make sure that the wires
coming from the *Side* tubes are facing the front of the vehicle. It's
best to tighten the screws just enough to hold the bracket in place,
then go back after once you almost finished and individually tighten
each one until it seats firmly...

You can have your very own mobile full-wave rectifier with included
lighted indicator. You're saying you never wanted one of those?

Oh, now that is classy indeed. LED lights under your car to light up
those wheel wells, the differential and who knows what else. You should
consider adding sections to your website devoted to:

1. The installation, care and pleasure of bobble-head dolls in the
rear window.
2. How to add a Mercedes Star to the hood of a PT Cruiser for that
really classic look.
3. How easy it is to add spinner hubcaps to give your family van that
urban sporty look.
4. How to dazzle oncoming drivers by adding brilliant blue headlights
and driving lights.
5. Why the largest aftermarket spoiler will turn your Ford Focus into
a real Race Car.
6. Showing how faux-mink mirror covers really feel and look great.

He's here to spamvertise his web site, not to participate. Ask the wall
