LED's are supposed to be more durable. I would get a reputable company though, maybe Varad. The local shop here is selling them for $149.

Varad's ULX300 kit is on a Group Buy here, the stuff you can do is amazing. 1000 colors in ONE KIT.

Redtibby was supposed to bring it over from the old site.

LED!

STREETGLOW... sorry... i love my neons from them.

the new LED series kicks ass and was a great improvement to my car. i live in a town with like 10k people... so im one of the very few with neons. www.newlevelmotorsports.com thats where i got my set from. they sell streetglow neon pretty cheap and this kit is awesome.

im not really into the whole multicolored led bars that they have out.

1. because they are not as bright (from what i've seen on a buddy's car)
2. because they flash with each color and thats illegal here (unless they fade which is a possibility)
3. because who needs a 1000 colors tongue.gif

Its nice to be able to switch colours if you want to.

I'd definatly say L.E.D's

but neons are very good also, just dont have the option of different colours.
as im sure you already know.

What all can you do with StreetGlow LED UnderCar kits? I probably gonna order me some from a friend of mine within a day or two and was wondering some reason they would be better than the Gold series.

well, it also depends on what kind of effect you are looking for

neons (bright ones) will give you a nice cloud underneath of your car
LEDs will be more wall-like looking

Neons are not as durable as LEDs, you cant change colors with neons....

now decide what you want man smile.gif


I have a set of purple LEDs in my room, never have time to isntall them....

Is it a really noticeable difference in the neon cloud and the LED wall?
