Talking Anyone ever heard of ccfl?

I think I'm the very first person again to try a new product

I like this mod because it's a cool blue color, it shines 360 degrees, and you don't need any resistor, but you do have to splice some wires to install the ccfl inverters but they don't heat up and are very stable.



Thats basically how the kit looks.



I will post some pictures after the lights break in

Nice. CCFL's are the light source of many angel eyes(halos) light systems. Where are you planning to put them?

I believe Michael has them on his foglights but since removed them.

meant, already tried ccfl. looks like same kit as yours, just different bulbs. i'd be interested to see them on the brows though. you using 2 bulbs per brow or planning some mcguyver setup? i had to patch it in directly to the battery to pull power.

Oh lol yeah. You beat me to that. I'm using 1 ccfl per side and 1 polarg hyper white per side for now. I just cut and crimp the stock wires that goes to the plug and hooked up the inverter. Works fine with me.

Yeah in the picture but in reality it's more bluish.

I got it from one of my light vendors.
