I'm not much of a neon fan, and I'm not going to go off and do some crazy-ass ricey stuff either.. but I am looking at putting one neon/LED [tube?] along the bottom of the door on both sides, just to accent the interior. I haven't done much research (yet), but I'm curious to see what you prefer, what's safer, less power consumption, easier install.. anything you got as to which is better: neon or LED's. If you have personal experience or have a friend with this kinda stuff, lemme know some details!
Thanks, -Brian |

I have 2 small neons lighting my gauge cluster and one big one out of site under the glove box, so the light shines out w/out seeing the light. It looks pretty good. Anyway, I think its just a matter of preference as far as the type of light you put in. LED lasts longer and most are made to be able to take a hit better than neons, but i think the light from neons looks better. If i were you i would check into getting some cold cathodes. They last longer than neons, cost about the same, and the light looks really good. If youre putting them somewhere that they may get bumped a lot though, go with the leds.
