yea i didn't break the cathode but cracked the end on the one i put under my driver side dash when i was putting it in. all it took was it just hiting my rubber floor mats to do it. now i see how some one could break them just putting them in. i know you want a pic well the thing is up under my dash and i'm not getting on my back to take one and i don't even think the pic would show up if i did.

I broke one of my cathodes while installing it. I was lining it up under my seat, and I set it down to reach over for some zip ties or something, and I leaned on it with my arm. *snap* I knew instantly I had broken it.

Sucky thing is I had to take the other one that I had just installed under the other seat out, because I didn't want to leave one there that I would never turn on.

I still need anothing green cathode =p

I might have to steer clear of cathodes if they're that easy to break. i'm not gentle with my stuff

I broke mine because I was dumb. As long as you handle them carefully and don't stress them when you mount em, they'll be fine.
