I have 2 of these in my pc case with UV reactive IDE cables and they look awsome.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811994021&cm_re=cold_light-_-11-994-021-_-Product

I want the same setup or similair but these only plug into the 12V molex on the common PC psu.

I was hoping someone here may know of a place or site that sell pretty much the same type think single or dual but one that use's a wall socket instead.

I have an inverter in the pickup and want to put some under the glove box / passenger foot area to even out the blue glow througout but need the type that plug in.

I have a switch in the dash to turn the inverter on and off so I can turn the light on and off with the switch and hopefull just plugger in and be done with it.

if still no go is there any converters or adapter I am not aware of?

all you have to do is tap a 12v source in the car, like the cig lighter wire. What youre doing is converting from DC to AC back to DC

yeah I was hoping for a plug in solution so I dont have to hack into any wires or do any cutting.

plus I already have the switch in the dash to the inverter and would preffer to just find one that plugs in like a wall socket that way if it ever goes bad I could just unplug it and plug another in without any tools.

if I have to hard wire it in as a last result I will but would still preffer to find a wall socket type or perhaps a molex converter type deal.

If you really want to plug it in to the inverter, just get a 12V wall wart...

you can use wire taps so you dont cut or splice anything, otherwise get a wallwart and got from DC to AC back to DC =)

those a are pretty cool too I may consider the one in the 2nd link and just add a switch to it if it dont have one already but I am kinda worried if they are too bright to leave on while driving but they are going to go under the passenger side foot area like under the glove box type thing.
