I'm thinking of putting lights under my dash for a blue glow effect and am wondering if I should go with neon tubes ,led tubes, or led strips. I saw some at Auto Zone and i want to know What u guys think.
Thanks

Go with neon, it has a smoother light and its the best for ground effects.

I know, I have had both.

You just need so many leds to compare it with the neon glow.

Leds create hot spots while neon does not, in ebay you can get some 15'' neon bars and they rock.

Ill tell you, I went with leds first, but I wasn't happy at all so I went neon and now I love them. I just wasted my money with the leds and they were more expensive!!

My neons are brighter than my leds.

These are my leds:

i prefer led's over the neon tubes. like anything, if you choose the proper item and assure that it is a quality item, then you'll be fine. i recommend either led's from night stalker or boogey lights. try nightstalkerfx.com or boogeylights.com
