Just a matter of tighter tucking to get the glow instead. One thing about EL wire though, it is very muted and best works in low light situations. The material is colored as an optical enhancement since it is such a low lumen output. However, a good tuck job should let a very minor amount of the edge still show, and get a good glow still.

With PC builds, I have worked with LED and EL configurations extensively. pretty easy to do, just take your time and a bit of common sense (maybe a bit of maths lol). Hit me up if you want to try it ChopZ
