I was thinking about cutting the plug and wiring it directly, but then my brother broke one of my black lights so I decided not to for now. I placed 'em behind my headrests, and they look pretty good. If I get another set they will go under the footwells just like Bruce did. To each his own is right! If we have just a few tubes it's alright. Now, the other day I saw this absolute beater lit up like Vegas inside, and it was a little much, even for me.
