Where to buy....?
Okay, so I'm a n00b. I was wondering if there was a shop in Houston or around this area to get lighting. I'm new to the scene, is there like a mega-store where you can check stuff out or something? Looking for interior and exterior lighting, undercarriage glow, so ya! Thanks for the help!

Just say no (unless your 100% show).
Honestly just check out some of your local car audio shops. There are some places on houston-imports.com that might be able to help you out.

oh shizzle, you were a mini-trucker?! Do you remember Trendsetters and Custom Miniz and all them? I was one of the first cars ever let into a truck club, before the whole tuner thing exploded years later, I sported a 2 color plate frame back in the day too 
Mine will be getting some here and there, but i'm not going nuts and when we're done with everything all you'll see is yellow glowing here and there
We have another shop car with a lot more work done to it (mine's still a w.i.p) that is pretty trick, even has remotes that control everything from what color, to how it lights up etc.

Interesting... I think I remeber Trendsetters pretty well.
I was doing my thing with Rangers from 1990-1995.
Had a 1990 Ranger Extended Cab w/ a walkthru conversion and a SnugTop shell on the back. Pearl White base with a fade to Ford Oval Blue on the bottom of the truck. Boyd 17inch wheels (pretty big stuff at the time). Started life as a soundoff vehicle with sixteen 15in subs, that box was **** and the SQ was terrible ... imagine that??? (although it looked kick ***) it was later replaced with a "cutting edge" bandpass enclosure... 22 cu ft. for just two, yes two 15 inch subs. Most of the system ws Phoenix Gold for amps, AudioControl for EQ.... the area behind the front seats is where the motorized amp rack sat. Basically of the tackle box design three trays that stacked and when opened revealed the tray underneath all three trays neon backlit. I placed 2nd in the 1995 Texas Heatwave in the Mild Category, still have that trophy somewhere, I didn't do many carshows, mostly I was into Outlaw SPL with a best ever of 153.4db which was a lot for pre-db drag days of course.

dang dude, 17" Boyd's and 16 15's....ahhh.... I had 4 15's in a tiny Ford Festiva, complete with shaved handles, cut springs, Honda Crx seats, mini-truck tweed everywhere, I had so much fun with that car, used to show it all over the place lol Those were the days lol I think 95 was either the last year at Emma Long park, or the first year at the Expo center where it's held now. David Mac who runs/owns the shows used to be our club pres., and Custom Miniz used to be the host club before big bidness took over. I deejayed HeatWave, judged, parked cars, whatever, those were some good times. I'm supposed to be featured in the Soundstream Booth next year at all 5 of the events when my car gets done etc. Weird seeing the shows from that spot, used to park with all the other folks in the desert heat, now I get a/c and perks lol

Nice.. we had a Festiva as a work car for my mom's business. I loved spinning those lil 4 inch wide tires all the way through the gears.
Yeah it was at the park, outside... I even met Mr. Camden (Camden Superchargers) he gave me a ride in his beater Supercharged Toyota parts truck OMG that was fun.
I only had the 16 subs for a short time, maybe a year or so... gas milage was horrible, weight made the rear sag even with big springs and shocks. I can't take total claim for the paint, wheels or other body mods, those were done when I got the truck along with the speaker box, I just had to fill it up. Which I did so on a sponsorship deal with a local shop, I payed about 35 bucks per Kicker C15 sub.
I'd love to get back into car audio, maybe when the woman gets her new car.
