Hello-I was just wondering if anyone would recommend getting neons over LED's for their car's under-body? Has anyone had any major problems with their LED's? I am leaning more toward LED's than neons at the moment.

Thanks

LED's have a lower voltage input requirement and have a longer life as well compared to neon tubes. LED's are not affected by cold comparedto the neon tubes aswell. So far we have not had any complaints about the LED systems that we sold except the price Neons - Last Post -- posted image.

Another good thing about the LED lights is that if only one burns out, the other's still work but if your neon burns out, you have to replace the whole tube.

I agree with Velocity, but I will tell you from experience if you buy a cheap led kit you are going to get what you paid for. spend a little more up front a be happy in the long run.

go leds all the way, u can leave them on over night without draining the battery, less likely to break, the only advantage to neons is they are not directional so u get more glow and sometimes brighter, but u'll be alot happier with leds Neons - Last Post -- posted image.
