I'm not sure what they are called, but my one friend has an integra and he put blue lights under his dash on the driver and passenger side and has it wired somehow not noticable by the e-brake. I was wondering if any of you did this or know how to do it? Also how much do you think it would cost for the whole done deal and do you think its that difficult to install?

there not that much money wise. i know that. my friend got his for like less then 30$ and his plugs into the cigarette lighter. but u can just cut the plug off and tap it into your standard 12v wire. :thumbs

if your lucky enough to have your dad as a mechanic (free labor) then look into getting something like a nice exhaust, better brakes, or fixing any other kind of imperfections the car may have. neon lights= :sick

my car= almost perfect. The only thing it needs is a new timing belt, then ima work on the exterior look of the car, such as exhaust, possibly a new paint job. That kinda thing. I really want the lights under the dash though..i love the way they look at night.

It's your car so do what you think would look best. The price is going to depend on the size of tube you get. The smaller neon tubes can go for as little as 10$, and you could probably use two of those (one per side) to get the effect you want. If your going to splice them into your 12v accessory outlet (or some other 12v lead) you should still use an inline fuse (rated the same as the one that comes in the plug) to protect the tubes from spikes, shorts, etc. It would be much cheaper to replace a fuse and find the problem than to replace the whole tube(s).

If done correctly (read: with taste) neon tubes can actually look pretty good, IMO. Overdoing it, of course, will always look like burnt anus.

Good luck, and show pics of how it comes out when you're done.
