Interior Neons installed!

Got these off a friend and installed them a while ago. Never bothered to take pics until now.



For some reason the camera doesn't like to focus too good at night w/ no flash.

They are not a direct match, they are a lighter color. You can set it to the blue-est blue color and dim it down a few notches and it matches pretty well though, which is what I usually do. In the picture, it was on its brightest setting.

yup I'm thinking of going with a blue interior lighting theme, and maybe some blue exterior probe lights and other small blue lights around...maybe even a blue ground effect light, hehe, I really love blue!!

I was thinking of setting up blue neons where you had them
and a long strip on the bottom of each door, wiring them to the dome light. not sure if I should switch the dome light out for blue....or just take the dome light out, cuz with it in it might have too much of a blue theme...dunno

sugestions????

When you say neon for 10$, is that one in the car section or in the ordinary lighting section of the store, because the only ones that I have find at my Walmart are The StreetGlow and they are sold for 30$ !!!?

Keep in mind that this is American, I too went to Walmart and they sold for around $30. Has anyone in Canada seen RED neons, I can't for the life of me find any

I have neon on mine too except my are blacklight and I was able to purchase some blacklight pedals which give off a cool glowing effect. I will try and get some good pics soon of it glowing. Like it has been said it is hard to get a good pic of that.

Question

Could anyone post instructions on the whole neon install thing, using the dome light, or perhaps a link that shows how it's done.

thanx
