i wanna get underglow
should i get led or underglow
is there rele a big difference?
is one better then the otha
advantages disadvantages

 

LED. I've heard they're brighter and even work in the cold, and that neons don't. This is only from what I've heard, but I'd definitely do LED's.

 

neon is old news, LEDS are in, there thin, can mount anywhere and dont put strain on your car. They require virtually nothing to power.

 

thats a lie. i have noens. and they work in the rain and cold like 35 degrees. i dont use them in the rain though.

and mine are brigter then the dude that had leds that i was hangin with.

ryan.

 

Ah okay. Still though, I'd get LED's. THe guy above you posted more proof. And I'm sure there are ones with different quality. I';m sure you can get really good, bright ones.

 

well theres little transisters in the leds that rust out and go bad then the lights dont work they cost more they are nicer and whatever i voted for led myself but neons were cheaper and better at the time. and i still love them.

ryan.

 

I got leds and my buddy's got neons and mine are way brighter and they are a lot stronger in case something hits them. I only paid $85 for mine. If you wanna check em out check my garage.

 

LED's are more durable, but reputable neons are brighter, and have 360 degrees of light, which means better light output.

LED's don't shine at a very wide angle, like a flashlight. But they're more durable than Neons. Also, LED's are prone to having light uniformity issues.

Neon's shine in every direction and have a perfect output uniformity. Also they put out much more light.


I used to have neons, and switched to LED's. The neon's looked way better IMO.
If you decide to go with neons, get the Streetglow Gold Series.

 

Actually leds do glow at wide angles, depending on what type you get. Mine are wide angled and they glow bright and wide.

 

so basically what i get haha is you cant go wrong, just dont cheap out, get top of the line from either led or neons and you will be fine...

 

I would have to agree with you, I like the uniform glow from neon as apposed to the mag-light effects of LED. Also, I would have to agree with using a reputable brand. I used an APC neon kit and it stopped working within 2 months (I got an APC kit from AutoZone since I knew they'd have it and had it slapped on at the dealer the night before a car show--never really used it on the street since around here, red or blue are illegal)

 

yeah dont go to autozone. either go street glow like i did or plasmaglow. either or dont cheap out is the thing. i paid 140 for my neons and there awsome since last august still work great.

ryan. they come with lexan high impact plastic tubing for the neons im sure the leds are the same thing.

 

ight yea
thx 4 tha input guys
from tha poll ima prob go with leds
so yea thanks

 

some LED's are brighter than others. theres a bright LED, then it goes to super bright LED, then up to Ultra bright LED.
It all depends on what kind you get just like the Neons. although the Neon does have the 360 degree advantage.

I'm going with LED just because of how little it takes to power and how long they last
