Neon Car lights. What they are and How they can Set your Ride
By: Antonio Gabellone, Tue Dec 6th, 2005 02:54:03 PM
Have you ever seen those car's with neon car lights on
them around your local area at night and wondered what that was
you just seen? Or maybe rather, how is it that those neon under
car lights can look so cool and strobe through so many colors
like that? Just incase you don't know about neon & LED car
lights, they are specially designed LED & neon tubes that can
mount under your vehicle, inside your car, inside and under your
SUV or truck, on your boat and even on your motorcycle.
Thousands of people from all walks of life are installing these
neon lights in un-imaginable amount of ways to highlight the
best features of their vehicle to set their ride apart from the
rest. By now you might be asking yourself, What can neon
car lights do for me that my normal head lights can't already
do? Well, for some people, a car is a means of transport
(Article continued below)
and nothing more. As long as their vehicle gets them from point
A to point B and back again, has nice comfortable seats, a good
sound system and a coffee mug holder, it serves all of its
purposes well. And of course there are other drivers for which a
car is much, much more - an extension of their personality and
an object of their fixation. In this huge world of automotive
accessories, there is no product that screams any louder
than the neon under car lights. If you consider cruising in your
car is among your favorite hobbies and you relish the stares of
pedestrians and fellow-motorists, then a custom under car light
kit may be for you. Ever wondered how long neon car lights
have been around? Well, Hot Rods were the first cars to have
under car lighting installed on them, (although, the
lights were nothing like the kits in use today) back before
import and export was a big industry world wide. And today,
thanks to the World Wide Web and the fact that import and export
is now more commonly practiced throughout the world, they have
become more popular then ever before. These car light
accessories, which can mount to the body around the perimeter of
the vehicle's undercarriage or inside the car, come in kits that
contain the elements you'll need for the installation. The "how
to install" instructions that should come with your kit are
fairly straight forward, but since it requires drilling into the
body of the vehicle and substantial electrical work (depending
on the type of kit you buy), it's best left to the more
experienced do-it-yourselfers. If this project seems a little
too hard for you, rest assured that there are a growing number
of custom shops that perform this type of neon car lighting
installation. If you do decide to take on the installation
yourself, be sure to purchase a kit that is compatible with your
vehicle, and read and follow the instructions that come with the
kit carefully. The highest quality Neon Car kits on the
market today are made by big brand name makers such as
PlasmaGlow, StreetGlow and LiteGlow, just to name a few.
Dealers selling these Brands will have exactly what you need for
any competition or street vehicle. Most of the under car kits
(and interior car lights) come in many colors and sizes, they
include a Transformer, generally two 50" tubes, two 38" tubes,
installation instructions and all necessary mounting hardware to
complete the job. The exterior type tubes are commonly made of a
durable Lexan® type plastic that protect the neon elements
inside the tube with unsurpassed durability! Please keep in
mind that the main issues we face with having LED or Neon Car
Lights on our vehicles these days is the fact that they
are often frowned upon by the authorities. So to avoid any
uninvited fines, its best to install neon lights so as they can
be activated through a separate switch rather than having them
come on when the headlights are turned on. To do this, you can
run a power wire directly from the car battery to the kits
operating switch, thus by-passing the vehicles headlight wires.
And of course, it's always good to check with your State Road
Laws in regards to having neon or LED car lights on your
Vehicle. So if you been searching for the ultimate custom
add on for your ride and don't mind the attention from curious
onlookers, and the fact that the glowing effects tickles your
fancy, then you might consider neon car lights to spoose up your
ride. Imagine the fun you could have with neon car lights?
