Seat Neons Project...Yes?YEEEEESSSSS!!

Is this not a tight spot for these? They look sweet at night. All interior lights are purple in this car. Except climate controls.

I ran the wires into the seat to come out underneath and go into the carpet. Then they come up the center pillar dividing the doors and wired to my neons which are wired to the dome light.

Ummmm, what's people's infatuation with turning their car into a Las Vegas storefront? ugh.. It's one thing to have USEFUL mods in the interior (such as the stereo that you can use while driving), but to have stuff that doesn't do a damn thing other than sit there and change colors..........

I guess some people think of it as it's music for your eyes, but it's just noise, IMO.

You should put neons under the seat too so it glows at the passengers feet too...

Everybody puts theirs there. Besides, it does light up the floor as well but I mainly just wanted some more light 4 the back passengers.Right now the seats are kinda folded forward, but when they sit back the light is in the right place.

I like the lights at the feet. I think it sets more of a mood... With blue, it can either be a good or a bad mood. And its just something to do...

IMO when you can see the neons they look retarded, they look way better when you just see the light not the source.

yeah, you can kinda see my hyperled bars in my trunk, but you have to either be standing back or look up undernieth..or be really short..I'm eventually going to wire some neons inside my car, and I'll hide mine as best I can so all you can see is the light..

I see what you mean, but If I put it under the seat, I'd lose all of the light that it puts in the back. I mainly did it because my wife rides back there with the kid and she needs light back there.So that was my main motivation for getting them.But I completely understand if you aint feelin it.

doesnt look bad.. but i agree.. not seeing the light is cooler. Just like the new audi A8.. theres fiberoptic lights in the door panels and dash everywhere that you can set to glow how you want and it looks so cool.. i bet thats next for everyone to copy..

I prefer the tube hidden myself, but at least the install itself is clean. Nice work on keeping those wires hidden .
