I got my tube lights from J.C. Whitney. I'm planning on placing them above
the instrument panel under the dash. Will be making a lip dropping down from
the dash. Will place a variable pot or dimmer switch on the lights. I've
seen this in a RV8 with some fabric coving the dash.
Dana, is this what your going to do? This is the lights that I have (not
installed yet) is this the lights that you are talking about?

For some reason, I couldn't get the JC site to come up. I'll be heading out
this morning but later today I'll post a picture of this string light.

I know absolutely no one would ever consider putting automotive parts in an
airplane but try this one on for size.
These are pics of a 5' Electroluminance Stringlight, that I am sure was in
the movie The Fast and the Furious somewhere. I got the idea after seeing
my youngest son put a blue one in his truck. I went out at night and, in
addition to the blue light, a light came on for a change in my head. They
do make red ones so today I bought one for $20 at Auto Zone. I'm thinking
an install under the lip of the glare screen just might do the trick. I
tried it in the dark, in front of a NAV head and it is some soft red light.
The first on is with it off, the second on and the third unrolled and on in
th daylight................the one in the dark didn't come out...........for
some reason.
If it doesn't work, I'm out $20. I'm thinking it's going to work very well
though.
