Cold Cathodes in Sedan!

What kit?
I picked-up a dual cold cath kit from compusa for just under $20. The kit came with a switch, but I swapped it for a lighted one from AutoZone.


I wish I had taken some pics of my install, it would be a crazy easy DIY write up, unless it involded hooking into the Dome Light wire and still having it "switchable"; if only i knew more about using relays....

Dual cathode kit from oznium.com. 16 bucks and it will be on my doorstep by the weekend.

Not really complicated: Just connect the relay output in parallel to the siwtch ourput. The best way to do it is to connect a ground and the dome light 12V to the relay input (do not remember my signage right now. It's been a while since I've last dealt with relays). Then connect the output the the same place where you connect all your transformers together like this:
______Transformer 1
Switch Output__/ ________|
Dome signal-->Relay Input- |--------Transformer 2
|________Transformer 3

When I'm done with finals, I can do a better "graphic" if you want.

Got one cathode in tonight as a tester, and I've gotta say it looks awesome. The second cathode was damaged in shipment. I'm ordering a few more cathodes and drawing the diagram up tomorrow.
