Yeah forget it, the lights break ALL the time, and I even had one fall off on I-10 in Arizona. Total waste of money and you'll spend more time and money replacing the lights that crack (which happens all the time on lowered cars). Not to mention they never shine evenly and the corners don't have lights so you have a light that looks like this:

_________

If you ask me it looks real cheesy, and the Maxima rear end requires you to install the rear piece somewhat high and it is so much higher then the other parts that you literally can't see it, so now it's like you only have three sides.

my car looks pretty good and it's all even. i have 6 tubes (custom ordered).

i was going to put a 5' tube in the center of the car but the exhaust pipe gets to hot.

Yeah I had thought about buying smaller tubes to try and make the corners look more together, but after I was losing a neon a month and at $35-$50 a piece I said forget the whole thing.

I had StreetGlow Gold in green.

ha, maybe its the way you guys drive or installed it? how does a dam neon fall off the car? did u try to glue it on?

hey 97GLE i NEED to see your car lol, but purple seems to be the best choice for me, i'm getting purple. I'll just be careful...when you guys say they break, what are they touching before they break??? what event happened when they broke? they just cant break from nowhere....maybe u hitting a super nasty speed bump?

well when you put neons on a lowered vehicle what do you think? just like when your vehicle is lowered you drive "cautiously" when going over bumps or stuff....same w/neons

but I do not have that problem because my car is not "lowered"
