put wire loom around them 1st off, so you the wires arent exposed (this will also prevent them from so called "burning things")

then you can drill holes but be careful where you drill

its easy, just jack the car up and feed the wires around the car making sure the wires are tight and out of the way from anything that moves... and dont drill into your gas tank... laugh now but we have seen it done before.... the guy came into my buddies shop and wondered why he was leaking gas, lol

get some nylon clamps and wire loom from c.t. The nylon clamps will allow you to screw the wire to the floor.

u can try that but for them to be secure, it would be best to mount them with hardware of some kind...

Ill help you install em if you really want to. You can drill but there should be places to just wrap the wire around. I had a neon kit on my car before and when it was installed I just electrical taped the wires together after soldering em and I had no problems.

Screws are not a problem if you spray some sort of undercoating over them when finised

And if possible, get galvanized screws. Or plastic screws that won't rust. LOL.

step 1..... take the underglows out of the box

step 2.... soak them in gasoline

step 3.... light then underglows on fire

step 4..... jump off a building.
