Default how to install underglow?

I ended up getting a pair of underglow tubes. There's 6 wires inside of rubber coating. I believe the Colors are red, black, white, pink, blue, and green. Anyone have an idea how to hook it up? Thanks

Man Don't know then. Usually on a undercarriage light kit there is a controller to sequence the light patterns and colors of the light tubes. The lights would plug into the controller and the controller to a hot wire source. You have nothing to choose the light patterns or colors.

I mounted my controller in the trunk, ran the hot lead to the battery and used a fuse, the hot wire lead went out through the cabin vent in the passenger side trunk, underneath the trunk carpet I grounded to the body of the car inside the trunk.

My controller handles over 1,000,000 colors and pattern combinations.. reacts to music and can be remote controlled

I got it from Plasmaglow

Did you get these used?

I would see if he has any instructions then or maybe you can find a website for the company that made them

My bet is that there is a control unit still on your friend's ride somewhere; but the end of the tubes shouldn't be just wires sticking out there should have been a harness of some type. Think about it without a control unit you have no way of turning the lights on or off or adjusting color or pattern
