hello, ive seen some pictures of cars with neon light tubing installed, where can i have that done? is it something complicated? thanks much, i think it looks cool when its done minimally.
just buy some tubes on ebay and stick them under the dash with doublesided tape. hard wire them to a switch and youre good to go.

I definately reccomend Oznium.com (http://www.oznium.com) as well. And I would (and did) go with cold cathodes over neon, but that's a personal choice. Here are two how-to posts, one of which is mine from when I put in my cathodes but the steps for standard neon are nearly identical.

If you're still unsure, poke around the oznium forum (http://www.oznium.com/forum/) a bit. There's a lot of great information there.

Its quite simple actually. I have two 12" tubes undere the driver and passenger side an also have two 8" tubes under the front seats for some cool lighting. I personally hooked up my switch under the deck console and used a fuse adapter for my power. Hmm.. ill see if I got a pic or two around here. Its not too good cause it only shows the front ones, but you get the idea.

hide that tubeage under the dash man. I'm all about aftermarket lighting, but you gotta hide it. I have 12 cathodes in my interior and trunk and the optics 7 color led underbody kit, and more that still need to be installed

for an install like this, you never see the tubes, unless you decide to look under the dash at your foot pedals, only then will you see them
Phil over at Oznium just got these cool Flexible LED strips in. I've got a blue strip and a red strip and they look amazing.

The red isn't as bright as the blue, but that's the nature of LEDs.
