Anyone fitted under car neons?

Hey there bloody great things, have them on my landrover 110 offroader in white. When your out in the middle on nowhere, bugger all night vision as you have had the fogs on full you can flick them on and see the floor and all the little dangers that it has before you jump out of the cab and fall in a puddle or pot hole.

Could you not just use a torch? Or link the curtsey light to some LEDs in your wing mirror?

Rather than a full under body lighting kit that would break on a 4x4 if it was properly being used for "off road" use .... which 99.9% of them are NOT.

Trust me this one is used for Off roading not the school run!

Torches are ok, if you have one with batteries and it hasn’t gone flying off into the back after you up a a step bank or through a rocky river bed.

In the wing mirror! Have you seen a land rover! no room for them and they spend most of there time folded in due to the trees and bushes.

Not broken them yet and ive managed to blow the engine and snap a prop shaft so far so there standing up well! Only thing is they get covered in mud very quickly.

They work well on road cars for the same use, where do you think Audi etc got he idea for the door puddle lights! (or was it the other way round! Chicken or the egg!)

HELLO?!?! Officer, I have bolted some Bejam strip lighting to my car, can you pull me over please!

Sorry but every car I've seen with "neon" bolted to it has been hanging off or cost more than the car is worth. I'd rather buy a chrystler neon.
Each to their own but it looks really tacky shite IMHO, pass the Halfords spinners.

Well sod you all cause the Cordy is getting neons

i really HATE the fact that people cannot accept neons. All I was THINKING (just toying with the idea really) of doing was getting 2 neons, one for either side of the car. These would be single colour (either red to match the rest of my car interior or white) and they would ONLY be used when parked up - be it at meets or when I want to take photos, or show off a bit. I WOULD NOT DRIVE WITH THEM ON.

Some may say whats the point in having them - but christ - its not expensive to do and it would also be dead easy to wire it up into the boot and my ice install.

It can look good on the right car if done properly, and I think it would be nice to see what it looks like on mine.

Now i will let you continue to flame us on here but i dont care.

This guy said can you give him a bell when your done........

The main reason neons have such a bad rep is that nine times out of ten they are on a piece of cr*p with big wheels, a big exhaust and 1 big sub with 4 little chavs in caps init.

LOL!

Well I gotta buy some more neons now cos I ran over one of the long tubes backing out of the garage!
