i wouldnt bother, looks gay and likely to get you unwanted attention from the cops

Well it needs 12VDC, so you will need either power from the battery, the ciggie lighter, or the HU.
Or to a ciggie lighter adaptor. and then earthed
Run the wires along other wires in your engine bay so it doesnt stand out, keep the tube hidden so it doesnt look homo, i would use LED sticks. I will never ever go back to neons.
Boozer and nemesis can vouch for my love of the LED.

And yeah, i dunno, do it if you like it dude

Dunno to me one is gonna look crap.
you gotta do it right man. Full LED million color undercar set with 2 LED million color tubes stuck to the roof and 2 in the footwells :D Thats'a how i roll.

Yeah 1 will look sorta crap, probably keep it inside the car for the footwell or something

if you want to show off get 4 neons, 2 under front seats and 2 under the dash in the footwells making sure they cant be seen, will give a nice glow and not look crap or over the top. 1 in the grille will look stupid

tuffy we want pics

i was trying to find you a picture of my neons

In my front grill I have two neon bars running parallel with the grill. Lined up the leds so they shone between each line in the grill - looks like a ghetto KITT at night.

as far as my mount - cable ties!

i got the thin cable ties, there is virtually no movement of the neon/grill so i didn't need anything heavy duty. Unless you walk up to my car and look directly through the grill you won't see them.

I wired the neons in series with my old undercar neons (now gone) - to a switch in the cabin. wasn't that hard at all - just take the time to run the wiring cleanly around the engine bay and keep them fastened securely.

blue and red are the 2 worst colours to use as neons (red depends on where it is). having blue gets immediate attention from the cops, as does red if it is points fowards.

the easiest thing to do is drive to your local cop station and ask them to arrest you for being a ricer.

ooo snap!


i dunno, if they are done well, i can tolerate neons and other underbody lighting.


on the other hand, if they are done badly, they look ass, and can ruin the look of your car

Ah, so true. Might i add.. please dont put underbody neons on a pile of crap that deserves a good few yellow stickers!

On a decent car, with some mods, neons can add a good effect. But otherwise...
