Cathodes Installed

Hey, tell me what you think........

look good, you just need to hid the transformers some how, maybe under the headliner. but does look good and have to be bright at night

First off, I love your Grand Prix.

Second, where exactly could I put those transformers? Edit the pic in Paint or something, if you can, and point it out.

I know aken has cathodes on his head liner so i would ask him because i have no idea.
and thanks for the compliment. what type of car is that and do you have any other pics?

It's a Black 1998 Grand Am GT. Here's some more pics of it...





Not very good pics I don't think. But that's her.

I have a red one like that just a 96, it was ment to be a temp. car for when mine was in the shop getting a engine swap down but then i hit some one and we are keeping it around untell it get fixed witch should be first of next month after mine get out of the body shop. I'm sure my brother will look at this he might know how to hide them also i think he put some on his head liner too but idk

It's hot glued now to the top. I'm up for any options on how to hide it. It does kind of look bad just sitting there. Although no one ever talks about the transformers, just the awesome glow comming from the tubes.

My transformer is hiding in a gap above the headliner.

You should be able to hide it easily by somehow getting above the headliner, then making a hole to run the wires from each transformer to the cathodes.

you should try to run the wires to the middle cathod under the fabric, will look much cleaner

hey im gophs brother i have 2 cathodes in my head liner they are set back about 12 inches more than yours i have the transformer hidden behind the molding in between the rear window and the two rear side windows. it looks good there are nothing sticking out. you might be able to find space in the molding inbetween the front-side and rear-side windows but i doubt it. im almost sure though that with the sunroof there would be room in the headliner. your car looks nice i like what you did with the cathodes.

Just one question can you see the cathodes from the out side if you kneel down a little.

wow, your gonna regret 3 cathodes on the ceilliing at night, lol

i had 2 before and they were bright as ****

I have four cathodes in my car total. And when they are on, I can't even see out of my rear-a-view mirror. They sure look nice though. The glow that is. And I'll check out if I can see them when I kneal down. Do you mean see the cathode itself, or the glow?

the cathodes

im going to take some pics of mine

I don't think you can see them from the ground.

do you know how to get the back deck off in that car, one of the back 6x9 just stoped working i found out and i have a spare one from my grand prix in my room so i want to put that in.

Well, for my car, I had to take the back seat out, and some of the trim, and then the back panel thing. The speakers are screwed in from the top. Big mistake I think...would be a lot easier to have them from the bototm.

yea it is really dumb, mine just have grills over them so that makes it easy but grand ams don't

i'm not sure what colour your headliner is, but mine is black, and the white wires stood out a lot. so i covered them with black electrical tape. did you say you hot glued your cathodes to the headliner? never thought of that way. how does everyone have their cathodes mounted? personally, i used velcro. stapled the fuzzy side to the roof and the spikey side to the square ends of the cathodes. i'll get a pic one of these days

There are plenty of spots to put lights in that car man. You dont need to put them on the headliner and tape over the wires.....

yea that is ture, mine are under my dash and look at how it look in the sig

Mine is black, kinda, maybe grey. I dunno. Anyway, yeah, I used hot glue.

What accually happened was I used velco, one strip on the square end of the Cathode, and the other end on the headliner. But they kept falling off, the velco sticky stuff wasn't sticky enough, so I glued the velco on the cathode and glued the velcro on the headliner so I can take the cathode off, but the velco sticks there.

Looks Pretty Good..

I have some white cathaodes.. but now 2 of them aint working. Possibly burnt our or somthing. Oh Well.. No More White Cathaodes.. that what phil said like a week ago.
