two places told me that LEDs are more durable and brighter than neons... more durable = longer life span??? haha thats what ive heard mate :)

Cold Cathode, Brighter then both of them and longer lasting :D
Not sure if they come in undercar sets tho they do for interior use...

Also try bunnings for ropelight, its a flexible clear rope lined with LEDS inside (colour choices avail), it its 12V and i used it in my older car, bends and is very durable.
$8 a meter i think...

that sounds like a great idea!

cittris ended up with CCFL's in the inside anyway, since im cheap, im using the prehistroic neon tubes, although if i had the dosh id use CCFL's aswell

Get LED's. Use alot less power and will last alot longer. They are much brighter and more durable...
