used to saw a lot of cars with modded Undercarriage Lights.. but it's kind of rare these days on the road? Where have all of u been?

 

[khguan]

i still on my lights everytime i go out at nite... i'm at serdang... :D

 

[KeonG]

cool man.. got on ur light when go clubbing in KL? :)

 

[khguan]

oh... i dun go clubbing ah... n seldom go down KL at nite..

in fact when i go out of serdang i will off de lights... cos i duno where got roadblocks.. keke :D

 

[jaywat]

i will on the light only when i got mood to play..normally is off one hehehe...now some more got strobe light liao...attract more attention. :D

 

[KeonG]

jaywat, sure u attract a lot of chicks when go clubbing lor.. hehe.. :D

 

[jaywat]

haha...i very seldom go clubbing one lar... i will only go bangsar or jalan bukit bintang there yam char ar kap lui only.

 

[bridgestoneRE711]

i duno what happend with wiring . the front and rear cant light up ... so i thought that the wiring got problem , exhange the terminal ...and kaboom ...
there goes my RM7 ballast ... very nice , got smoking effect .

i DIY , i not PRO . i am thinking to sell it off already ...
of course used one la ...

 

[bridgestoneRE711]

ah guan , u install for ppl . it connects the relay or just battery ?

 

[khguan]

huh? wat u mean?

my installation is very practical wan... like this... i use a relay.. so tap a wire from battery for power... then use the small light(cigi lighter light) to control the on/off.. on top of dat i add another switch for road block emergency off.. hehe :D

so when u on ur car small light... de undercarriage lights are ON also... if there is road block.. then just use the switch to OFF it...

 

[jaywat]

Bridgestone, don't give up! Maybe fuse is not functioning? how many amp u use?

 

[bridgestoneRE711]

fuse ar ...
erm ... i am using blue colour one ...
i just tap the + and - from the other ballast + - terminal ...
the problem is the wiring of the tubes , i think too many joints and some joints could be loose .

 

[jaywat]

hmmmm blue is how many amps already?

Use cable lug and connector to connect all the wires instead of tie them together...like that the joint will be stronger.

hello diy sifus..

just wanna ask.. is the light lasting? i.e any major problems? like..breakage..fusing.. etc.

also..can someone provide the complete list of stuffs i will need to buy to diy on my car?
i know shnitz about diy..but hoping to attempt the underglow during my coming holidays.. =P

many thanks. any help will be greatly appreciated!!

p.s : really, i know n u t s about diy.

 

[jaywat]

Here is the redundant list of what u r recommended to have before DIY:

1. Two 4 feets and two 2 feets fluorescent tube, if u want side, front and back.

2. 4 ballast - 2x 20w and 2 40w DC choke.

3. Wiring - lasting power cable, length is depend on ur wiring map and car size.

4. 10amp fuse.

5. Fuse holder.

6. Switch to on/off the light.

7. Fluorescent tube holder (Used to connect the 2 pins on fluorescent tube to cable one, and hold it in place NOT ON UR CEILING ONE) .

8. Cable lug to connect wires.

9. Steel band for undercarriage mouting. Cable tie also can but not long lasting.

10. Wire insulator.

11. Voltmeter.
12. Cable tie.

 

[jaywat]

Ohh talking about broken light, don't worry, as long as ur light is mounted higher than the lowest part of car, it won;t be hitted and broken. To protect it from flying stone, just stuff the tube into transparent water hose.

All above stuff u can get from Hardware shop and normal electric shop.

resilient hunter,

yo bro.. remember me? i'm de one who install de grounding n VS into ur car... :) hehe

anyway.. if u know nuts about DIYing.. i advice u not to do it.. cos this DIY will involve some wiring using relays switch n power tapping... i think a beginner doing this may be a little risky n may burn a few fuses...

 

[resilienthunter]

yo! its you ar?

wah.. u use 2 nicks one ar?.. !

humm...so not advisable to do eh..okay. u help me install can a?? haha..
