Can try using EL wires but those are a bit expensive

I think the acrylic tubes are a great idea

 

[kambingcool]

[SkYwAlKeR]

yeah, i've been searching around accessory shops for EL wires but cannot find...
anyone got lubang??... how much is it cost??...

[kambingcool]

edwin just go to acc shop and ask for meter bulb..kruger wat kinda led do u use? 12 volt?..if the led turn on 24/7 ...u think ok x?

sure got problem lor... day light also need to light it up for what??... haha joking la... its preferable that it switches off during daylight lar...

mayb u can tap the wire to cabin light or a 'light sensitive diode" (dunno whats the specific name)... it switches off when there is sunlight... similar to those night lamp u use at home, where it automatically switches off during daylight....
