Sorry to post another neon light question, but is it safe to have my undercar kit on the car during the winter? The tubes themselves are surrounded by a plexiglas casing to keep rock chips, etc. at bay, but (even thrugh they don't generate heat) I'm still worried about possibly cracking the inner glass tubes during the winter months. I park in a heated garage, and I've seen my windshield split because of the difference in temperature, but should my neons be safe? Even if I don't turn them on, if I'm parked at work in -30* and snow for 4 hours, then go home to a heated garage, there's a risk of cracking, but is it worth it to take them right off? How durable are the tubes? I have a buddy with a 2000 Stang that kept his on over winter. (Mind you his car wasn't even started for 2 months - it's only an inch off the ground! ) His turned out fine.

Has anyone else out there kept their neons on over the winter? If so, what should I do as far as protective measures?

Thanks for any help!

 

I would remove them for the winter (heck I'd remove them for good ). One chunch of ice/snow falling out of your wheel well could take out your whole setup. The rocks and temperature I wouldn't worry about so much, but driving over a chunck of ice could ruin your whole day.

safe > sorry
