wont the sides be kinda hard to put on, I took a look at it once and decided I have no idea how i'd install a kit, have you found any DIYs?

I have it on my car with White LEDs.. the tubes are very skinny so, when you put then on the sides just make sure they are behind the frame.

They won't be as bright as regular neons, but at least they won't break as easily.

I thought LED's were usually brighter than neons???

they are brighter... the only thing is the light is more "focused", so light isnt spread around evenly like regular neons.

Ha no way. The led kits have a line of those tiny led lights in the tube. When I had my neons they were so bright you could see them reflecting from the ground off the mirrors. I saw a pontiac with red led kit driving last night. At first I thought it was reflection from the tails, but I looked again and there was a faint glow under the sideskirts. It was really dim to the point that most people wouldn't even notice. He had it on moving mode so you could kinda tell.

White is VERY bright...

very noticeable but, as mentioned before the light is "focused" also,

make sure the leds are facing DOWN on the road and not too the side/up

that could have been the problem that the guy in the pontiac had, haha

Dang... the only reason i wanted to go with LED's is because a good majority of people on this site say they are brighter. I wish i could find some decent pics to compare them. Varad is a very reputable brand for LED's, hopefully the one gearbox saw was a cheaper brand.

I bought a cheap led underbody kit off ebay and I have it in my room, the controller is semi busted, but i could always wire it to on/off if i put it in the car, its white, and its bright enuf to light up the entire room.. (leds are facing up too, even pointed against the wall its plenty bright)

if the sides look easy enuf to put on im kinda debating about actually putting it on my car..

I was actually thinking of getting a blue led kit, but it would be plasmaglow not varad. Even with a good kit tho, regular neons will be brighter than leds. Same reason turn signal leds aren't good. The ones I got had 15 leds in it and still wasn't as bright as a bulb. If you look at the led kits, all you see are tiny leds in a single line. And that little light has to reflect off the ground to actually be able to see it.

yea that does make sense... i guess i will go with the neons instead. Is there any particular place you would reccomend buying them?

Well I had streetglow gold series and they were great, but the tubes broke after a few months on rough roads. That's why I'm looking at leds.

The streetglow gold series seem to be the brightest i have seen so far, and on this ebay link they supposedly have a lifetime warranty? I cant decide on these or the Varad LED's...

The gold series will outshine any led kit. It will also break easily, so get it if you don't mind sending tubes back for new ones constantly. I bought mine from circax on this site and he's gone now so I never got the warranty. I say get the streetglow if you have a show car. But if you drive it, get the led kit.

yea i drive it every day. Im gonna go with the LED's. Thanks for ur help

If you do I would go with plasmaglow. That's what I'm getting cause they're the brightest out there. It's $179 for the single color, with motion control.
