advice on interior lighting

Post by Bludge » Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:05 pm

this isnt actually for my lude, its for my mondeo (not that it really matters) but thought i would ask here as the ford forums are rubbish!

I want to install some lights that will run down either side of the center console

but i want the lights to be a cold cathode type of glow tube rather then having led strip as they will be in full view.

There is a little curvature to the center console so they would have to be flexible, and they also need to be very slim.

Anyone know of anything that might fit the bill?

yeah, amend the search to include 12v and it filters out the battery operated ones :)
