did this a long time ago.
Power source: ciggie lighter socket.
CCFL Yellow wire ==> center pin of the cigaret lighter plug
CCFL black wire ==> side curvy thingy of cigaret lighter plug

i salvage the cigaret plug from a RM20 motorized air pump. Don't worry if you get the wiring wrong in the first try. It won't fry the CCFL or the engine.
Just DON'T short circuit the two wires together. sparks will fly and may drain the battery.

Hello bros and siss,

DIYing CCFLs in the car is nice but CCFLs won't last long. I have burned 2 tubes after using 3 months. The brand is Coolermaster Twin with Sound Activated Sensor. It is sensitive and good. I bought it for RM40 for 2 tubes with sensor. I'll upload some pictures if i get my digicam working.

Okay, about the working voltage. 14.4V of car is okay for Coolermaster Twin Tube series. I tap it onto "Ignition" switch wire which it runs my air ionizer. Will update more later. Have to go lecture liao. Bye. :D

By the way, this is the product.

I can help shipping it but CCFLs are sensitive and may break easily. No good for postage. :D

hey bro.. take your time for the pix.. i will be waiting... really wanna do disco in my car... it's cool man... aha

 

[ken12292703]

Hie, sorry for the waiting.I would like to apologize that my cam's quality is not that good. The light is much more brighter as what i took. One thing i notice about CCFLs are it gets brighter when you on it longer.

The first picture is where the twin tube pack is being saparated into 2 parts under the dashboard that's left side and right side.

 

[ken12292703]

This is the module with the adjuster, switch and a vibration transducer. I have cut the part out where it secure in the PCI slot of a computer. So, it looks compact. By the way, this is hidden under the dashboard with double sided sticker. :D

 

[ken12292703]

By the way, this is the trunk part. Sorry that it is messy. :D The light is much more brighter than what i snaped. :D

 

[ken12292703]

That's the trunk module. Notice that i didn't cut off the metal that is used to secure the module to the PCI slot.

The second picture is the inverter that is being tied up the trunk. The CCFLs is being hidden behind the 2 indoor white lamps. :D

Happy DIY. :D

 

[ken12292703]

Hie, now is the wiring part. :D

For ignition setup. Please refer to the picture. :D

 

[ken12292703]

Here's the setup for light. :D

Hehe. :D

 

[ken12292703]

One more thing is that, DIY at your own risk. You must be careful and if you are a beginner, please unplug the (-) negative terminal of your battery or vice versa to be safe. Double check the connections and make sure you are correct and not guessing. If not, fuses will blow only larr. :D Hahaha.

yo bro bro bro! man i think this is abit hard for beginer like me... see the wiring n placing also i kecut de... haha.. hey bro thankz alot.! ya the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanna try ler.. hehe

 

[ken12292703]

No no bro, it's easy actually. Haha :D How will you learn it? Easy, bring your car to any car electrical shop or accesories shop. Say that you want to pull out wire from "ignition" or "light". They will do it and you observe really really carefully and ask questions. Like student and lecturer. Haha :D

This module only uses very little current. That's why you can pull out wire from anywhere. If those heavy lights and applications, you need to rewire and put relay.

Haha, happy DIY. :D You can try.

Put some guts and open up your middle console to see the ciggy lighter wires. Try try and sure can. :D

 

[siong]

ask them pull out??? then then?? no need put back ka?? i plan to do this... er.. get those L.E.D lights.. those sold in the computer shops.. decorating the cpu one... then then i wanna get a bass detector lo.. the bass detectod can put anywhere liou ma... so so the L.E.D light i gonna get current from the ciggy place... just needa get the socket.. but the bad thing is... we can see wiring...ugly ugly...
