Those are the gold series with separate transformer. I took the pics with my new sony cybershot P72 (3 megapixel). The key is to use a tripod and select the night mode on the camera. If it shakes just a little, you have a crappy pic.

Rep Power: 335 I was wondering what blue would look like under a silver vic. . now I know. . I was trying to decide on which color to get. I'm sure now that I'll get white/silver on mine. .

Rep Power: 787 You should have learned the first time. I don't know about hiding them without skirts on. You have to drill, and you probably wouldn't want holes leading inside the car.

Rep Power: 257 I have green and I've been pulled over twice so far. Cops drive me nuts. I had blue and got a ticket so I got green just to find out I can't have green either. I've never seen a paramedic w/ green lights but thats why I can't have them. Every cop that pulls me over tells me something different. I think they just say whatever to give me tickets.

Rep Power: 787 Some states, like Illinois here, have made all neons illegal. This includes every color, even white. It's called improper vehicle lighting.
If you guys want, I can take some pics of the tubes and post them up. It's gonna be hard to get a good shot from that close, though.

Rep Power: 787 Okay, here are the install pics. It's nice and light outside, so they came out good!
Front tube was put where the bumper clips onto the bottom of the car. You have to remove the clips, wedge the neon inside so you can't see it, then use zip ties to hold it in.
The sides are harder to see. The tube sits between the black stuff that sticks down from the car and the OEM skirt seen. Towards the rear, the tube is tilted outward, and toward the front it's tilted towards the middle of the car. That's because the sideskirt is a bit higher in the back, and putting in the tube straight will cause some neon to show.
The rear is pretty easy to see. I had to hack off pieces of the bumper on the bottom so light would shine through.

Rep Power: 344 I like how u did the front - gonna have to do that when I get my replacement front tube. Mine died somehow and since I got them "under the table" I have no receipt and thus no warranty. Oh well, they were free anyway.
