My CCFL (Cold Cathode) Dome Light Mod
This mod puts LED dome lights to shame. Basically what I have is a FlowLighting Cathode kit from Oznium that comes with one transformer and two 4" tubes. What's nice about this mod is you can either have one tube or both tubes plugged depending on how bright you want your interior. And these tubes fit the SC300 dome light area perfectly. The transformer tucks nice and snug above the headliner too.
Wiring is simple too, I just wrapped the positive and negative around the original dome light bulb holders for power. I used 3M double sided tape to attach the 4" tubes to the side of the dome light housing.
As a result, these light up the interior very brightly compared to my old festoon LED bulb I used to have.
Below are some pictures of the setup, I have included pictures of how it looks like with one tube and two tubes. Let me know what you guys think!

Nice looks just as bright as a the 24 LED board I have in mine.
Light output would increase a good amount if you put some foil tape behind them, and also upgrade the maps to BA9 led and add some foil tape behind that.
