white looks good, I have white even though my car is white with white bulbs, washers, and strobes (afraid to use any of them anymore)

White would look cool, but be careful. I HAD streetglow gold series blue neons and two of them just broke into pieces internally. I just ripped everything off cause replacement tubes would cost as much as a new kit. And my tubes were up under the sideskirts.

You may want to consider the varad LED underbody lights. PM Impulse for more info.

White Plus its not "illegal".

I live in NY, and I drive with the neons on while in residential areas, highway/expressway, even by the police station/park. They dont care... I even got complaments, lol.

I have Varad LED Under Body Neons. I can have them stay on... Change brightness, make them strobe, make them go back n forth and other stuff.

IMO best LED "Kits" are either VARAD or UFO.

UFO = ****ing expensive... But, they have amazing stuff... :O

Iceled UFO - 2 Million Color LED Underbody Kit.. Is amazing.



but then again... I' am a light freak, LOL my car will be glowing by the time im done with it (of course in a clean way - All White light, not ricey)

I would go with white, I was talking to my neighbor who is a cop and he said the rule is that the only colors you can see from the front are white and amber and from the back are white amber and red, so he said they dont bust people with white neons

The neons still have to be installed properly... Meaning, the tubes themselves cannot be visible.

You can have either green, yellow or white. Any other color is "illegal"

Except in Illinois, where any underbody lights are illegal. Color doesn't matter.

I heard it was illegal in CA too, unless it's offroad or if you're not moving because it sistracts other drivers

Yup. I got pulled over the first night they were installed. I've since pulled them off after two tubes shattered.
