first of all im not a huge fan of neon lights, but while i was @ miejers (or how ever you spell it) over the weekend i went poking around in the car care isle and i got the most random idea to buy a 6 inch thin neon blue tube and see where i could put it when i got in the parking lot! any way to make a long story shorter...directly infront of the cup holders there is a litte dip to put like a pen or something in, if you feel directly above that there is a space big enough to hid a very thin neon tube (about the diameter of a pencil) up there and superglue or 3m tape in place. to my suprise it looks totally awesome! it lights up the cupholders and shifter at night with out seeing a bright ass bulb or leds! VERY COOL! ill try to post pics soon but if you get the time before i do i highly recomend doing it. much much easier than leds in the cup holder and it gives the same effect plus more!

 

chopspics and chopspics and chopspics and chopspics and chopspics and chopspics and chopspics chop chop!

 

Darn... I thought you were going to say in the trash.

 

^^true..

 

i like neons but just not too many all at once

 

Thats pretty cool I'm gonna try that.

 

thats exactly where i have mine right now.....i bought the smaller ones, i think they are like 4 inches or so....i put there and one that lights up the instrument panel

 

Where did you mount the one to light up the instrument panel?

 

Pics!!!!!!

 

well, you cant really see the second pic, but it lights up the insturment panel with blue really nicely.....and it only cost like 10 or 12 bucks so, w/e

 

that looks real cool i might try dat

 

that actually looks clean

 

i like that.. how did you wire it up? did you put a switch somewhere?

 

That looks cool. Gonna have to do that.

 

^^^^ yea, what he said!

 

the kit i bought came with 2 light sticks with all the stuff you need to mount them. they are like 4 inches long and are both wired into the cigarette lighter adapter that also has a switch on it.....for those of you in the north, i bought it a Meijer for like $12. the wires are somewhat clear and are small too, so they were easy to conceal within moldings, etc. does anyone know if these are legal in texas.....im from michigan, and i think they are illegal there, but idk about texas.

 

all neons are illegal while driving, I got a ticket for it once. I fought it and they droped it.

 

Very nice, but how about some pics during the day where we can see how and where they are located.

 

sure, ill go out and take some more pictures in the morning

 

actually , i live in texas and back in my old car i had a few blue neons wired up in my car, i got pulled over because he saw the bulb because i was moving it while i was at a stop light. he gave me a warning, and told me neons are illegal on the inside only if they are above the window to where you can see the bulb, if all you see is the glow, its perfectly fine.

for underbody, a cop i talked to said amber was the only legal color completely around the car, red is legal in the back, for when you are driving, unless you can see the bulb or its flashing. lights are legal if you are parked somewhere....just fyi

 

nice, i got three 6" neons off of one of those stores on eBay, all 3 w/ shipping for $10. one on each underside of the dash and one in that dip by the cup holder, but i removed the one by the cup holder and i rarely turn them on newayz

 

What type of shop is "Meijer" ??? Is it a speed performance type place? Not sure where to look here in Ontario - besides E-Bay...

Do neon's come in red also? I think it would look neat with the red inserts...

 

Nah, It's like walmart.

 

Seriously?

 

walmart and crappy tire both have them, as well as your local speedshop.....




P.S they have Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Pink....
