[Dimik]

Ok, so i decided to get one of those undercar lighting kits.. I noticed that some of them are LED kits, does anybody have a clue which is brigher a LED kit or a regular NEON kit?

led you can play more with it with diffrent function

Also keep in mind if a rock breaks the neon, the tube's pretty much done. If a single LED is dead or broken, the others will still light and may even cover up the missing one.

cool
but it's not less bright than neons right?

This aint legal in CA, awww

I had both kits on my last car. The LED's were a lot brighter than the Neons and you also have the flexability in the LED strip to go in smaller places or even curve around some parts. The neon's kinda hung on the lowest part of the car and that scared me going over speed bumps. The LED's just makes it easier to protect the strip and if you wanted, can do stuff like a wave design.

They're illegal here too, but I put a kill switch when I did have them. I had a white one on, I know it didn't look as nice as say a blue or red, but I got away with it more by saying the cop just saw glare from the ground/street lights and they couldn't easily find my lights.

Well, LED kits are brighter if you aim them directly down. I have had 3 diffrent LED kits they are very nice I have had one kit that was 300 Colors from Varad, was not my favorite. I have a kit from Plasmaglow a single color kit very nice. I also had 3 of my favorite kits, Flowlighting Blaze kit. www.flowlighting.com. They are pretty much the same as the Streetglow LED kit, the owner of Flowlightin will talk to you on AIM person to person and will fix any issue you have quick. www.oznium.com for the flowlighting kit.

Some people will say LED is brighest in one spot NEON is bright all over. That is because you can aim an LED kit, where a neon kit just spreads the glow.

Streetglow Gold Series kits are the top of the line, neon wise in my book 130 dollars shipped you can have a brand new kit off ebay.

If you want to go tottally over the top get the ICELED ufo kit. It's 800 dollars and is tottally amazing. www.iceled.com for some awesome photos.

I suggest an LED kit. For the functions, colors and ease of install.

Also keep in mind if a rock breaks the neon, the tube's pretty much done. If a single LED is dead or broken, the others will still light and may even cover up the missing one.

A quality kit should come in a lexan tube. Not just a neon element. I agree if a large rock hits the tube it will shatter the neon, but Streetglow warrantys their tubes. Not the Lexan but the Neon. So if you break an element but the tube is healthy, then its covered.

What kit did you have that installed and was flexiable to be routed underneath a cars chassis?

^ you said you've had 3 sets, did they burn out or fall off? How long did each last you?

[Mossy]

Sold them, Upgraded or got new stuff. They are all still going.

I know this to be a fact. Some of them have been going for 3 years.

Always use a little bit of Silicone and seal all connections and the tubes to the end caps.

I didn't know about the warranty on the Streetglow's!! oh well. But I just got rid of them because I cracked a side tube and the rear one on a road trip from rocks.

The LED one I got was a Fusion kit and was only $150 CAD. I liked it because for the front and back, you could curve the strip along the bumper line and the light will flow with the body better. But on the sides I would have liked a stiff straight strip because some parts just didn't look right (some dim spots).

Just curious as to how you learned about those UFO lights....
....I'm speechless

[Mossy]

I learned about ICELED and UFO from www.streetglow.com/forums

I am a moderator there for the lighting issue install section Screenname Solara. I pretty much help people out and stuff.

I love all aspects of car lighting HIDs, Taillights Gauges.

I used to surf a site called www.oznium.com that is the only US deal of the ICELED.

The best part of ICELED is you can plug any of their expansion products into their ufo and it keeps the colors going.

They have about 15 products I believe.

ICELED is UK based, and expensive but worth it.

Wow....all the rainbows...the iceled kits are neat but thats a bit to much color for me. Anyhow, my vote goes to the led kits because of the small amount of power they draw.
