I plan on sticking two tubes up under the dash to light up the feet area. I dunno why, i just thought it'd be different ya know. Perhapps a low glow red or orange.

Ya I'd Like to see some neons inside the cars.

I just ordered some stuff, I built a custom amp box with a big bowtie window in it. I plan on putting in a 20in blue neon light, that way at night I have a glowing bowtie from the back of my car. It's gonna kick some Bootay.

Hopefully my stuff come in today...

I will get some pics tonight of mine. I have two bars up under the dash. One 6 incher above the gagues, one 8 incher same place passenger side. I personally like the way it looks there, the tubes are out of the way and you dont really see them and they throw a nice glow in the car. It kinda of reminds me of all the Sences from Gone in 60. Oh yeah dont worry about not seeing your gauges, you can still see them fine. My buddy has a bunch in his TA, but they are in BAAD places. He has them mounted to the floor in the back so no light gets thrown anywhere, cuz the seats are in the way. Like I said I will try to get some pics up for you asap.

One of my friends has a "Bass Light"

It will pulse when the bass hits and its so freaking cool. he said they are hard to find

inside the tube/light it looks like lightning when it hits then it fades and when it hits again it changes. so cool

I went to the local autozone yesterday, and wow, a new section w/ neons and all just popped up out of knowwhere. then I went down to the advance auto, and they have all sorts of $200 ***** mufflers. crazy, I think I need to go to the local auto stores more often.

I'm Popapork's friend w/ the badly placed neons

http://www.liteglow.com/

That'll give you a reference at least to see what's available. Liteglo's not the ONLY company to make neons for cars, but I've had nothing but good exp with them so far. <--Just my opinion though

Anyone got suggestions on where I can mount my 2 6" red neons SOMEwhere behind the front seats? I already have light in the trunk area and kick panels... but right now the tubes are clinging to the bottom of the rear seats (underneath), where the bolt is.

Only requirement I desire is that SOMEhow you can't see the actual tubes.

I KNOW they are not Neons, but In my Riv, I put some LED red lights under my seats facing forward. The nice thing is now at night I can find things when I drop them on the floor. I bought them from JCWhitney for $10 ea back 8 years or so ago.

I used aftermarket brake lights and attached them to the dash lights, so they would only come on at night. (daytime would be useless). Kind of like a solar power flashlight.
