300ce with neons? OH SNAP!
Well, I took the liberty of installing some neons in my 300ce... I think it looks really sweet! It only took my dad and I about 2 hours to do, but that was mainly because it was a ***** and a half to get them wired correctly. We ended up wiring them to the back of the ash-tray lighter. I never smoke or use that socket so I figure the loss of voltage isnt anything to cry over. The tubes were mounted under the dash in the passenger and driver side footwells just after the end of the leather under-caps right on the black plastic panel protector thingies.
All in all, im super-satisified. Heck, they even pulse to the music! Im in the process of uploading a video-capture of that to google video right now...
Heres some poor-quality pics for now.
Praise, hate, whatever, all welcome.

:p the camera is great! Well, for movies its great! Its a Mini-DV camcorder.. they are notorious for taking craptastic pictures.. My "real" camera is only 2.1 megapixel and sucks at taking pictures in anything less than full-on daylight. I may get a good camera one of these days... New speakers and lights for the benz first though!

Well for the spaekers Im going to be conservaitve: rockford fosgate t152c and t142c for front/rear deck. I also want to get a new becker headunit to round off the installation. I think I will pretty much leave my sound-system at that. Update for the neons! We wired them ****-backwards, so now they are only on when the headlights are off, exact opposite of what I wanted! lolol. Aside from that, the 2 sided tape doesnt hold **** and the one housing shattered and fell off from underneath already. So now, I ahve to look for alternate methods of attatchign them. Im thinking zip-ties into the black plastic shielding. Help?
