StreetGlow

i just bought underbody lights for my car, and i always hear how good the StreetGlow Gold Series is, and i just noticed (i'm bad for not paying attention) that i bought the BlueLine Series. Is there any difference really? Are they as good as Gold, or close? or should i send them back and get Gold Series? Thanks...

The only difference is that the gold series comes with a separate transformer. The blue has them built into the tubes. I think that might make the gold series a bit brighter. Not sure.

The Goldline series is a million times easier to install. Plus Street glow guarantees the gold series for life, the blue line series is I believe 30 days or something like that. I've had the gold line series for about 3 years and I've gone through a whole new set due to the warrenty. I've broke three bulbs because of a bad car accident and they gave me new ones for the cost of shipping.. pretty tight deal I think

This was one of the hardest mods I've ever done. Good luck man, you'll need it. It seems easy, but running and hiding all those wires is incredibly difficult.

Oh but it was so worth it wasn't it? I LOVE my turquoise neons. It's the only color on the car. Turquoise neons, wire loom, brake calipers and drums, and my fiberglass amp rack are all the same turquoise color. And when I get my turbo this summer, my intercooler piping will be powder coated turquoise..
Anyways, that's getting off subject.. the install wasn't INCREDIBLY bad. The very first time I put underbody neons on a car was my old camaro.
Put it this way, unless you have a lift, your arms will get tired fast. It's also easier with two.. if not three people. Two people to hold the bulb, one person to hand you tools. Use a lot of cable ties.. remember not to tie them to brake lines and stay away from the exhaust. solder, heatshrink, tape, vinyl wrap, then tape all your connections. And make sure you can't see any part of the bulb. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine when you can see them because it makes it look like crap I think but oh well.. good luck though.
