Glow wire doesn't look bad. If you like it then enjoy it!

Not saying that it looks bad and everybody should personalize their car but it seems kinda GM'ish…like a Buick.

The wire when lit up glows only one color. Its the color that comes from the manufacture. The manufacture makes assorted color of wires but the wire won't change colors. The have around 15 different colors too choose from. The blue glow wire that I ordered is the darkest blue the company offers. It almost matches the same blue as my speedometer and radio lights.

Lol. My wife says the same thing. I think it really gives the car a pleasing look to the ole eye ***** at night. Not too bright and yet other motorists will see the glow as you pass them or they pass you on the highway.

the camaro is the only gm vehicle ive seen with something like that and ive driven most every new chevy/gmc vehicles made with the excepting on the new vette and the ss sedan. havent really driven any buicks or Cadillacs though. in the camaro its very faint looking. its hardly noticably, kinda looks like the light from the speedo and buttons is reflecting off of the shiny door panels. i like the look of the glow wire but it looks a little too bright in the pictures for my taste.

Oh, since its connected directly into my head light switch , the glow wire can be dimmed by our dimmer switch next to the head light switch. Just like our speedometer can be dimmed, the wire is connected into the same circuit.

We ran the wiring all into the headlight fuse wiring behind the head light control panel. Each side has it connected to its own power box. The glow wire only turns on when the parking lights or headlamps are turned on.
