Lights under seats

I have a EB MCS05 with EB dash and side panels and would like to add some kind of light blue (not real bright) under each of the seats....

Any idea on where I could find parts to do this?

thanks!

Check out street glow.com, they have a variety of glow rods and accessories and are resonably priced. They also come with installation instructions, mounting hardware and a lifetime warranty

I've seen people use computer light kits in cars as they are already 12 volts ready. I buy stuff from www.svc.com. It's a computer store with way cheap prices on parts and great service. Check them out!

whatever you do, I would get some kind of LED strip or something like that...LEDs take almost no power to run...a tenth of a normal bulb and ussually MUCH brighter...and they look kewl!!!

I found a guy once who sold 6 inch LED strips of all colors as I was looking to add some too....I can try and find his email if you like...

The computer lights (cold cathode tubes) work well until they get, well, cold. Like winter cold. Stick with led's and neon, they work well...
