easiest and best underglow ever

okay i found this sick way to get an underglow on xmodsource.com

so this is how it werks. first you buy 2 sets of command logic light kits 20 bucks in total i think?? one light kit is for ur head/rear lights and the other is for you underglow. now go get three straws.. k i dont really know how to explain it in a simpler way (srry kids below 12) but make sure that the diameter of the straw is equal or a bit more than the height and width of the led in the light kit. k got ur straw gud now measure the sides (front rear left and right) of your xmod (or i guess any rc this could werk for). cut your three straws according to the sides that you measured (the closer you get to the exact size the snuger it would fit) now you should have 4 straws all of different lengths (throw out the excess).get a marker or something that colours clear and colour the straws the colour you want (IF YOU COLOUR IT THE SAME GREEN AS THE UNDERGLOW KIT RS GIVES IM GUNNA SLAP YOU). now the tricky part. make a hole in the straws that is the EXACT width of the led in the light kit. stick your led in and SEAL EVERYTHING AROUND IT make sure its in there tight and there is no light coming out of the hole you made in the straw. no seal the two ends of each of the 4 straws with like.... use your imagination lol. and if you dont want to tape it you could use a bit of super glue on the top of the straw and attach it to the body.

now the part i wanna know. would the thermal heat from the lights be enuff to burn the straw.

oh just to let u guys now i havent tried this yet but going to once i get my boards

edit: IF YOU WANT to avoid the stress of cutting a hole in a straw (dont wanna give ne1 gray hairs) put the led INSIDE the straw and seal the wire coming out with some tape. id guess this would eliminate the chance of any white light coming out but once again dont wanna stress you guys it with cutting a hole in a straw

TIP:: if you want take a knife and make an incersion in the straw and force the led up in that incersion... just make sure you dont see any white light coming out of the incersion becuz that will ruin the effect (well unless you have a white car)

TIP 2:: use washable markers they colour on clear and are usualy vibrant. (someone else on the other forums said to use permanent markers probably will work still)

TIP 3 :: if you want a POWERFUL underglow change the leds to whatever colour you want but if you want a soft one do it my way

TIP 4 :: if you want a vibrant colour direct the light downwards by using aluminum foil and shape the foil so that the light doesnt go up and hide inside your xmod but is bounced back to the ground (the aluminum foil should also make it a bit more vibrant cuz of the shine)
