Cold cathode tubes on sale at jaycar

[funkymonkey]

This one is 28 bucks with an inverter and a case.

I'm gonna be gettin 2 red ones tomorrow to use behind my light up panel, hopefully they'll be the same colour as my brakelights

This month's catalogue is here

The one I'm gettin is this:

100MM Tubes $11.95 with free inverter

300MM Tubes $19.95 with free inverter

I reckon one or 2 300mm tubes should be enough to light up my arse end of the car

Its all dirt cheap and has many uses (including ricing up your ride)

man i want that skyline panel thingy!

i might just go get some paint and paint the lettering red or white or that reflective paint or something

[coco69]

hey where can we buy those 32 light up panels!

they are so cool...

[inark]

the costs arent

[predator]

..$28 is nothing special for CCFL's... most PC shops have them for $30 with the inverter all the time and the sound module.. I think you can get them $20 - $25 if you look around..

Jaycar ones are shit too - you are better off with the PC-type ones

the nerd has spoken

don't tell dj_lethal aobut a sale on these things... he'll go evenmore nuts!

I lit up the back badge on my skyline, but my 30cm CCFL tube was to short so its a "kylin", with the s and e litten up 30%-60%

Need to see if i can get some of that EL stuff big enough...

[predator]

memphis: haha ... i wanna see that

btw: thanx for the site update, i just ordered then

don't tell dj_lethal aobut a sale on these things... he'll go evenmore nuts!

lol.. i think he can get them for $20 or something..

yer i was gonna rice out my skyline logo and other things but i got distracted by 50 other things.. time to get back to the ricing

[R31Nismoid]

mmm... there is NIL rice on my car.

but next year MAS watch out... i've got a hunger for some rice as i'll haev the go this year... and next year the show to match it

[2rismo]

make sure you paint over the letters if it's for a ser 1 R33 as you can't see them when the lights on... kinda defeated the purpose for me...

this is before painting them... looks okay now though...

[predator]

my letters have started to come off.. might have to paint them up.. still looks kinda cool anyway.. Why'd u go blue though? - have to match the lights!

[funkymonkey]

this is mine in daylight

My arse end in daylight... suk it deewwwn

[memphis]

2rismo, does that light up the whole word? or just the kylin?

pred: ill take some pics for you tonight, i swear everyone following me is secretly laughing there asses off hehe

[2rismo]

didn't like the red that was available...was a real bright, off-putting colour... i thought, "if that's all that's available, i may as well contrast" .....

it lights up the whole word if you entre it correctly... may have to trim the black plastic off of the ends of the tubes....

[lowlux]

damn thats nice i wish mine could light up like that

[funkymonkey]

I ended up gettin white ones, and wrapping em in red cellophane that was very close to the colour of my stoveplates...

[funkymonkey]

and yeah he's right the red ones light up like dark pink
