Well my question is which side of the inverter goes to which. Pictures say the end where the 9v connector is goes to the EL and the other wires goes to the switch and battery. Is that correct?

Tell them to put a note on the box saying happy birthday. Seriously.

Yeah the original diagram was a little inaccurate. It should have been like this:
I switched the inverter around. If you set it up like the original picture was, the EL wouldn't light up.

When I wear these around I normally always get a positive reaction, but every once in a while...

Hmmm interesting. You're wearing them completely un-modded, right?

Oh no! We do not wear our on-modded Mags in public! We do not! It's like stepping out the door without your pants on.

Of course, that is a given. But if my memory serves, that's what Bobby Brown has been doing so far. (no offense meant, Bobby Brown - the mods are a crazy amount of work)

I totally forgot to share the video I made of my 9 volt tongue mod working. I've uploaded it to my Vimeo account this time.

This was right after the Light Blue lights and new LEDs were put in, but before any gluing was done. I will do another video when I've finished my Aqua versions.

Completely understood. The only thing I've modded on them so far is the strap to make them appear much more "legit" with the lights off. But apparently some people are mag enthusiasts like us and notice the difference.

And by the way Robert, great job on the toe mod! Personally I've been to "chicken" to try it myself in the fear that I will destroy them lol.

I got my tapewire on ebay for like $10. That's the official name for it. Wire tape just sounds better.
And I have no idea why that one site that was selling these shoes said the quality was bad. The only thing bad about them in terms of quality is maybe the tongue. The velcro catches it.

Absolutely Bobby! I agree with how you feel. It's always hit or miss for me. So the ones I got right I'm keeping for myself! Call me selfish if you must

Nothing like newly made logos ready for their straps.
The aqua colored panels finally arrived the other day and I just had enough time today to put these two together. Tomorrow I should have some extra time to get the straps put together and wired. Although making these has gotten easier along with other things, I find that the time it takes is still the same since I want everything to be perfect!

Would anyone be willing to sell a pair of nike logos without the EL? I'd rather buy that than a whole package of the certain paper and only use one sheet.

no other alternatives that you can use?
I'd like to hear about that if there is any.

Here's another neat trick I learned today! If you have one of those desks with a sliding platform for the keyboard, you can use it to firmly press the strap down after applying glue.
First make sure that an even coat of Super 77 Glue was applied
Second press the two sides firmly together by hand
Third make certain that the two sides are aligned as perfectly as possible
Finally place a sheet of paper on top and find something to wedge it all in
You can use something like old college books to wedge that drawer in tight!
Leave it pressed like this overnight, and make sure not to inhale too much of that darn glue. It'll make you a little loopy. The strap you see above it hasn't been glued together just yet, but you will notice the logo is already on it. That is because I like to super glue the EL Logo and Wire Tape to the inside first.
