Wife wanted lighting across the dash on her Mustang.
I ended up using el wire the type that can be sewed into fabric I used this because you can stuff/wedge it in between the dash parts, got every thing off of eBay. Links below in another post.
El wire got here from China in about 10 days. The connectors had to wait about a month to get from China :doh:
Wanted to go all the way across the dash but the way how the dash is designed made it to difficult, ended up with what is pictured.
Ended up by having four different lights for what is pictured all made from the single el wire I bought off of eBay. You'll have to solder the connectors onto the ends of the el wire was pretty simple to do just google it to see how it's done.
To terminate the el wire I used a hot melt glue and put a dab of glue on the ends. I pulled on the housing a little so the actually wire inside got pulled back into the housing and glued inside of the housing were the el wire once was.
Came out decent looking. Wife loves it :clap2:
Forgot to add the lighting only comes on when the head light switch is set to automatic so the lighting only comes on when the lighting sensor senses that it's dark.
