I have the 3 million kit and wheel well lights from LEDGlow that I used to have on my TC so I might install mine this weekend. I'm thinking white would look cool with a black Xfire.

So for people interested I installed my old interior neon tubes that I got from Autozone. I have two wired into the cigarette lighter circuit so when I turn the key the lights come on and then I have two in the trunk that pulsate with the subs perfectly. If you wire in the tubes with the subs when the amp pushes current to the subs it also turns on the neon. Perfect and simple modification. I'll post a video later.

I'll probably install them on the sides of the trunk right above the wheel wells. the neons are taking too much power though. I just have a little 400 watt kicker amp and when it gets too hot back there it starts to cut out. Worked great for about 20 minutes though.

So I finally installed my 3 million color kit from LEDglow. I haven't gotten around to programming it properly yet. I also got tired of my wheel well lights constantly breaking so I installed the 3 I had left in the trunk.

Looks nice, I'm thinking about moving my lights closer in so they light up more of the sides. I'm thinking if I can drill holes into the exhaust heat shield and zip tie the lights there that should do the trick. I have my back tube sitting right above the exhaust and it doesn't cause any damage to the lights. Also thinking about getting these wheel well lights

Advanced 3 Million USB Wheel Well Add-On Kit

I had them in my last car but didn't mount them right so I kept breaking lights, so I used the ones I had left for my trunk.

Attached is a picture of my old TRD edition TC. So glad I don't have that car anymore.

Word of advice DO NOT! Drill holes into the dust shield and zip tie the wheel well lights. I lost 3 tubes that way. They are supposed to mouth behind the strut so they are away from moving parts. Ledglow didn't have the install videos to help me out so I lost a lot of tubes and controls boxes due to shorts in the tubes. The wheel well lights also look good in the trunk I have one on each wheel well then one on the back. Lights up great and I can still see out the back window.

I had the flexible ones and they still cracked somehow and then moisture got in and caused shorts and then fried the control box.

watch this:
