has anyone seen a third Gen with neon lights under the car? If so do you know if they break easy since the car is so low???

 

The tubes are usually made of lexan so they don't break as easy, and you put them inside the frame-rails (don't know the technical term) so that METAL is still the lowest point on the car.

I love this topic. here is a pic of my cars. and to answer your question, the only time one of my bulbs broke is when the wire came loose and was dragging on the ground without me knowing about it, and when i backed up, it caught under my tire and just ripped the bulb off the car and smashed it. streetglow replaced it with their lifetime warrantee.

 

DUDES! I just bought these for my car the ATGI underbody kit, with the PURPLE NEON, they look SOOOOOOO COOL, gonna take a pick and post it soon, also had my hooker exhaust put on and that is sweet to, and I got black lights on the inside, now all I need is my hooker super comp shorty headers and im golden... I hope I put these lights on right so they dont get smashed to crap

That is so kick @SS! My friend got some for his SUV, and we wern't sure If i could get them, thinking i would break them so easy on my T/A. But after seeing that I'm getting them. The blue ones for my silver T/A!!!

 

My car came with purple neon on it (not sure why the guy didnt buy blue...) Im going to buy blue neons for it when I have money to waste. Its got the hook up for the front and back, but the neon itself isnt there. This is my favorite pic of the neon. I dunno why it turned out blue, but, it looks better anyways!

Wow, I dug this outta a hole...anywayz, some blue neons...USA brand I believe....no back bulb yet cuz it was broken...UPS man dont know what fragile means...I shoulda went street glow but I couldn't find a dealer that sold them around here and on their site they are expensive...these are just as good I think, just a tad smaller along the sides, but they glow like streetglow...I need some new pictures...will get some when the back bulb is installed...they look really short in the pics cuz they havent had time to warm up, they glow longer when they warm up for some reason....




And the switch that runs the things...

 

I'd like to do that in red but the cops like to tow your car for minor
things like in the state of OREGON them #$$#oles I'm glad there gettin' pink slipped!

 

neons look real cool if they are really bright, im not sure i would put them on my car , they are a little **** if you ask me.

 

i think they r cool.....when i pay off my system i will prolly pick up a set.....definalty red ones

 

Watch the cops with the red ones...they cops hate the reds ones, I believe they are illegal (emegency color) but blue is not...im confused.

 

even illegal if only used in like parking lots? cuz i think around here u cant drive around with any color on..

 

Iunno, NJ is a long ways away from KS, and in KS they still havent decided if they are legal or not...I can cruise around all weekend with them on and pass all kinds of cops and not get pulled over, but then one cop will pull me over and tell me to shut them off... iunno bout parking lots, never had any problems here. I got pulled over by a state trooper one night (thought for the lights) but got a speeding ticket (I was confused) and then I pulled into town and got pulled over by the local cop and he told me to shut them off...so Iunno what to tell anyone bout them.

 

i switch my neons off whenever i see a cop. seems to do the trick.

 

Where you buy your underglow? Was it hard to wire?

 

Man, this thread "was" 11 years old

 

HAHA i was about to say. I remember these being popular when i was in high school back in 2001.

 

God does anyone run underbody lights anymore? Thank god that fad is over.

 

Wow I used to have a set back in the day.......hmmmm.......retro lights on a retro car??? I may have to throw a set on just for giggles one day lol!!!! They are a bit cheesy now but hey......don't have to switch them on much

 

I can dig it haha, I'll do it, I know they are illegal to haveonwhile driving on Wisconsin but hey it will look cool while showing it off

 

I've always thought the under glow was pretty cool, but really can only use it for cruise nights, can't see it during the day and it's a huge cop magnet at night.

 

it sure hasnt faded from central florida where i was born and raised and sure hasnt faded from my likings im saving up for led glow solid green tubing for my 92

 

these look pretty intense, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AH5...110_SY165_QL70 only 6 reviews bit looks like there allright the remote wood be a pretty cool option with all the different color shows you could do.

 

here's my lights I use sometime at cruises

 

what kind are those

 

Jeeze,l didnt even know people still did this....not the kind of thing which would go down with guys overhere.
But hey,what the Fxxx if you like it..cool

 

i do if you dont you shouldnt have posted on this thread

 

It was 1995. I was 10 years old. I was at the local dairy queen going smash on a sundae. In pulls this green z28 with a whale tail spoiler and green neons. I thought it was cool, but that was with the 90's era.

If you're trying to date your car to it's period, do it. Just make sure to stock up on dokken cassettes.

 

Well, that's the thing, it's not really dating to the period. Neon lights are nineties, not eighties. You said yourself, that was a fourth gen you saw as a kid.

Btw, the whole point of the underglow lights is to show off how low the car is. When the car is really low, the light just diffuses off the ground and it looks like a spaceship. On stock third gen, the body is just a little to high off the ground to give the proper effect. If you compare to a slammed car, you'll see what I mean.

 

i might put it on my car because i was raised around it and its part of who i am and i wana make my car unique to me
