Buying Steps and Tips: Here’s How We Shop for Starlight Kits!
When shopping for Starlight Headliner Twinkle Kits, we typically search eBay using the following keywords:
- ‘Starlight Headliner Twinkle Kit’
- ‘Meteor Shooting Star Kit’
We use the term “twinkle” because we’re specifically looking for kits that include a motor inside the fibre optic engine, which allows the fibre optics to twinkle once installed.
Another useful search term is “Meteor Shooting Star Kit”, which helps us find kits designed to create shooting star effects.
We also look for kits that include a 12v cigarette lighter plug, but if they’re not included, we’ll often create our own wiring setup.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Kit:
- Fiber Optic Length: The kits usually come in 2m, 3m, or 4m lengths. It’s important to consider where you plan to mount the engine and how much length you’ll need to reach the furthest point where the fibre optics will be installed. For sedans and wagons, we typically go for 3m-4m kits, depending on where the engine will be mounted.
- Number of Fibre Optic Strands: Too few strands won’t give you that full starry night effect. For wagons, we recommend around 800-900 stars, and for sedans or utes, about 370-450 stars. Many kits come with only 200 pieces, so you may need to purchase multiple kits and combine them to get the desired effect. We prefer kits that have 400 pieces per engine.
- Single or Dual Fibre Optic Engines: Starlight engines may come as a single or dual fibre optic setup. There’s no clear preference between the two, as we’ve used both. Some kits feature a single section where the fibre optic harness feeds into, which gives off the full 450 pieces in one spot. Others have two separate entries, each providing 200 pieces. It’s all about your preference.
