sorry, didn't work the first time....

I found this deal on ebay, what do you guys think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1265906924
I am paranoid about buying on the net, cause you can't actually see the item in person.
Can anyone who has one of these, or dealt with them help me out and put me out of my missory!?
Any info will be helpful.
Thanks

Get your Neon lights from JC Whitney

Street Glow are lifetime warranty. When you get them from big mail order place like JC Whitney, you can just exchange them if they burn out. They do burn out. I had three that burned out already.

I've never had any problems with the neons that I've gotten off Ebay.

In fact, if you're lucky, you might be able to get some StreetGlow neons off Ebay for cheap. I got two 15" StreetGlow blacklights off Ebay for only $35.

Or maybe it's cause I don't drive around with my neons on all the time.

Pep Boys, too bad we don't have Pep Boys in Canada.
Anyone know a good place to get them in Toronto? I tried Pacific Mall, but the prices are sooo high, and they are not that good of quality.

Re: Re: Re: is this it?

Hey Riot, I'm also looking for 2 10" blue neons preferably made by Street Glow. Maybe we could order from the same company and ship them together and save on shipping? JC Whitney wants around $14-$17 just for shipping for 2 10" neons!! Let me know,

From: TX
Just to wonder how did you guys mount your neons? I zip tied mine and used some velcro to hold them. I live in TX so eventually the sticky part of the velcro wears off and the neons fall. The zip ties only serve to keep the neon from falling all the way to the floor so I need a way to keep the neon attached. I know Tony probably has some good ideas

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: is this it?

Eugene, do you also want to buy some neons? I'm looking for 2 10" blue neons for under the dash which will match the blue underbody kit.

btw, www.jcwhitney.com has a special on shipping if you buy $80US or more, shipping is 50% off! Orders of $200US or more has free shipping. Let me know because I'm buying 2 Street glow neons for $19.99 each.

I tried double sided tape for awhile then like you said they don't very last long. Driver side is attached via screws. The passenger side is zip tied to some wires behind the glove box.

I went to Pacific mall the other day and they were way too expensive. They had those cheap Eurolite 10" and 12" neons for like $40-$60. I think JC Whiney has the best price because there Street Glow 10" neons are $19.99US and come with a lifetime warranty.
