how_supra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Each to their own, I think they can look really good if done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If it's for car meets, shows etc it's pretty cool. But don't use them every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have been through all this all recently, so here we go: I wanted them, but got boo'd by the club,forum and mates. I then ended up with some for an xmas present. Couldnt really throw them away, but put off installing them for 9 months. I installed them on my car 2 weeks ago, and I will only ever switch them on for car shows, photo-shoots, or meets. To be totally convinced that this would happen, i installed the on/off switch in a remote location in the boot. This would a) stop any of my passengers playing with them, and b) remove the temptation for me to touch them either. So, to switch them on, i have to park up, open the boot, and flick the switch. Also, if installing them, make sure the tubes CANNOT be seen from any angle.. I was quite lucky - my neons were Varad UL500, ie LED kit, but they are totally flat - like a ruler. Its attached to the bottom of the car, and you cannot see the actual "tube" unless you are physically under the car. Well chuffed! At the end of the day, its YOUR CAR - do what YOU want. Just do it properly, and use them wisely, and you'll be a showman, not a chav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If done nicely (see below ) interior neons can look great. Not sure about undergrounds though, maybe, depending on the car, owner, usage etc. Each to their own I guess. Oh, and mine have a neat switch in my footwell so only i can turn them on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looks awesome, and is very bright for LEDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Although they aren't on anymore here was what it USED to look like. They have to be done right and the car has to be right forr them to look right. But each to their own.
