I've installed neons in the front foot weels of the car and want to install two more to light up the backseats, were would the best place to put them be? Under the front seets towards the back?

I did it way back when i was an 11teen year old and thought neons were the ******. strap them under your front seats, gives the whole floor a nice glow effect.

i put mine under the back seat joining onto the pull button thing to lift the seat up
works great and if there small they are hard to see when not on

Red light district for the win! I had the same in my old Astra. They looked awesome in the door pockets!

awesome i got blue lol not a fan of the red sorry, also i have the cathode neons atm but thinkin of going LEDs but im afraid they will provide "dots" of light or give an uneven distribution of light, how do they work?

i would stay with neons as they give a nice even glow and LED are good but at a distance..... if you have then directly at the floor wont look as good... you could point them up into the dash but then whats the point hehe ;)

Yeh my LED bars are underneath the front seat right at the back.

But be careful with a neon if it's too far back it'l be easily broken by passengers (done this once myself) - the LED bars are non-tubular solid plastic so much hardier.

Might wanna put it more towards the front and get a bright one.

yeh aww well, small neons n LEDs arent too expensive if i was to swap them over later, plus i could always just put the neons in my boot, or under boot lid lol

i used a big blue led neon accross my back seat tied to the seat release. its better coz of the heavy traffic but the tubes look way better. i used them outside lol
