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 streetglow tubes in mine... the one under passanger side got snapped, so make sure you mount it high, I think the neo tubes give a nicer glow less single bulb light looks nice make sure they cant see the tube it does look tacky. The only problem ive had with my neo tubes is I find when they are cold sometimes I have to hit the switch to start them leave it for 10 seconds then hit the switch again to get em to start. Its odd, and only happens with a few of the tubes, I do not understand why. I think I have 15" tubes I forgot as of now its in my profile and am VERY happy with them. Zip ties are your best friend for mounting these by the way, I drilled holes and screwed in the one above the petals, and its given me nothing but headaches till i got zipties.
