Heya, I've currently got Liteglow (Streetglow knockoff?) purple LEDs under my car. I was driving about three weeks ago when the clips that hold the front LED under my car snapped off! I heard it break and heard the tube banging on the ground, I pulled over and to my suprise the LED tube wasn't shattered and still worked great!
I used to have Liteglow CCFL lights (let's just say 'neons' for simplicity sake) and one of them shattered within a week, I ended up putting the rest of the working neons inside my car and getting LEDs for under the car.
Without a doubt, <b>do not stop anything short of LED lights</b>, they're brighter, won't break (I was going 70 when the tube snapped off!) and are fun to play with. I bought my LEDs for I think about $130 off eBay, just search for "Liteglow coloryouwant LED".
