Default Neon under seat lights...

Has anyone setup indiglo or blue lights where the feet are so that they glow at night?

Hows it look? How difficult of a project is it? Ive seen it before and thought it looked pretty dop...wonder how much the tubes cost.

lates.

my front two were from walmart. $10 each for 15" tubes.

my mid bar is some brand i dont know. it was free. it's a 20" i think.

my rear neon next to the subs is a street glow. $45 for a 20" tube.

installed myself - free. switch: $2

...looks just like the other guy's picture...


pretty easy if you know what you're doing. about 10 mins a light.

Ah yes~ dracord's pic is the one i remember from a while back. Can you guys give me some details on how exactly you installed it? (just a quick outline would be nice even)

1) For instance, where did you guys put the tubes?
2) Where did you wire the tubes to? (I don't want the wires visible and all over the place)

Thanks guys...

took me a while to figure out ur instructions Fryd_Up but I think i get it now...

couple questions for anyone... instead of connecting to the battery, could you just connect to the radio?

also, do i really need to solder spare wire to the switch? and where did you end up putting your switch at the end?

thanks yo

don't connect the neon to the radio's power supply. you might fry your radio. you could patch it into an amp though.

you need to solder in a switch ... well that's if you wanted to turn it off sometime. (or you could just do it the ghetto way and just plug it into the lighter socket and watch it glow) it really doesn't matter where you solder in the switch ... just as long as it's on there.

just make sure to fuse the 12V wire.
