Tigz™ Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Under car lighting can look ok, BUT only if your car is so low you cant get a rizzla underneth.I had 2x 12" blue nions under the dash and in my opinion it looked greta, took them out again, but now the dark nights are back Ive been thinking of `re-fitting` them.If you get the same colour as your dash lights it CAN look really cool, although others will think its tacky as of course it isnt your car is it YOUR car is it.. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Take a look on ebay for computer neons... a hell of a lot cheaper.

lunalupi Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 QUOTE(Tigz) although others will think its tacky as of course it isnt your car is it YOUR car is it.. what were u tryin 2 say there Tigz? :? anyways cheers for the rest of the advice - i guess ill wait to get the exterior neons, but ill try ebay for the interior 1s. I've heard you can replace the bulbs behind the dash? if you can, is it pretty easy, cos i hate mine atm - theyre a kinda dirty orange :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I dunno mate.You can get blue LEDs but there *****, not even worth wasteing the cash.Only winding you up bout the lights.. if you like the look of them then go for it, I was talking to a guy in Sheffield who had designed a under car LED system that cost less than £20 to make, that were soooo much brighter than neons.The thing is mate, its been done so many times its looking tired, 2 fast 2 furious even looked dated when they had neons... again...

dj_slipp Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 You wanna try ebuyer for Cold Cathodes. The cold cathodes on ebay are just ones bought from here and sold at a profit. I've got red ones from here and they aint bad considering they only cost £3 for a pack of 2, inc delivery.Infact here's some purple ones...http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=58063Cheap and easy to fit. Come with a built in switch that can be nicely installed in the slots below the heater dials! Looks even better if you have alluminium chequerplate flooring in ur footwells!!

lunalupi Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 nope taking it in 2moz, hopefully get it fixed on fri or early next week.you'd want 2 colour the inside if you had my car - its all kinda dirty grey and chewed (the woman had it before me had a dog, and it got broken into and the radio nicked so its a bit battered). Ok maybe not the best car to buy, but i like the looks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustler22 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 If you want an underbody neon kit look for the shop autoincorp they have a full under set for £45 in red, blue, green and PURPLE. the delivery is a £20 though but it does come straight out of the factory in singapore so its not to Bad.as for interior lights the foot wells look great when u light them up . I put in two 12" neon bars and a reader light in the same colour hooked it up to a sound controller and heypressto disco in my car, Saturday night fever style. great for those dark commuting evenings.

lunalupi Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 cool i'll have a look for them.I've only lit up the passenger footwell so far, but fun as `sound-reactive` lights are I want mine static style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> I'd get distracted by them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Built your own SBL system (Super BRight LEDs), a pack of ten can be had for less than a quid, wire it yourself (daisy chain as many as to get 12v summary voltage, and connect daisy chains in parallel) since cars run on 12v DC and presto style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />. If I am ever to do a `x-mas` tree jobbie on my car I'll go for SBLs (BTW, there's new kind of LEDs on the market, much brighter than the best you can get now - sadly my memory is very good but short.... so can't help ya with any contacts atm...)

Snoopy Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Cars run on 13.8v DC, so bear that in mind when doing the maths, or you could end up with a bunch of fried LEDs if you're running them at the top end of their tolerance.I think the Luxeon 5 watt LED is the brightest you can get at the moment - at 120 lumens, you could almost use them as headlights! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
