Sorry you can't see my car too well, but I guess this gets the genereal idea across. Questions or Comments definitely welcome Mucho thanks to my buddy KZad for helpin' w/ the install. I'm excited to finally get these neons on, so I'd like any feedback.

Looks pretty sweet if you ask me. What are the odds of them smashing/breaking or is that even possible? Also, is it illegal to have them on? I'm in Ontario, Canada and I think they are illegal. If anyone knows, let me know. What would look good with a black car? I'm thinking blue.

it will pretty hard to bust them because the neon tubes themselves are incased in a lexan tube. and im pretty sure its illegal well i know its illegal here in new orleans but it legal if your car is parked with the lights on.

I live in Manitoba and I know a guy who put those on his Ford EXP and he found out that they're illegal.

Car looks good. I just put a red set on my IROC. I should have pics posted in the next couple of days. And i did drive by a cop on my first night with them. He didnt even give me a second look.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure they're illegal almost everywhere, but can be turned on if you're standing still. It's not like I abide by that anyway . Yeah I think blue'd be the best color for a black car Chappy, I was gonna get a blue set for when I re-paint, but I wanted it to match the intereior lighting scheme.

Yeah, I realize the pics aren't making it look good, even for people who like neon stuff. I gotta figure out how light-glow does their photography and maybe they'll be more photogenic.
