sorry to hear, neon tubes aren't that expensive, you could always replace it

weird..

I just broke my neons too : (

Got water in one somehow, so the whole set doesn't work.

If the water doesn't dry out by sunday, it's covered under warranty.. the guy was shocked at how i got water in there tho, he said he's never seen that before.. so i'm hoping it was a defective one

Toylet, we should meet up and have a broken neon party

Which brand neon's do you have?

I origionally was going to get Streetglow. But I can get Eurolite cheaper. Are Eurolite any good? I don't want there to be spots on the side of the car where the neon isn't lighting. ex: the side length of the car between the wheel wells is greater than one 50" tube. Is it possible to hook up two 38" tubes there? Also, with the stillen body kit, can you see the actual bulbs at all? Any pics would be great. Thanks for the help.

i think i have the street glow kit

the setup is pretty sweet, 4 bulbs total, one on each side, wired to a switch he put in.. you can't even see the bulbs unless you get on the ground and look under the car

it's crazy bright too.. shines through the rims and stuff.. i've brought them down to DPA a few times

I might go down there tonite even tho the kit isn't working

i'm not in the city, I'm in suffolk.. i bought it and got it installed at Tones Tunes out by me, i go there for all my stuff.. i paid $340 with install and tax.. it may be a little high, but he does the best work around, and i know i can go there if anything goes wrong, such as now, and not have to pay to get it fixed..

the kit online goes for $299 i think, so $340 isn't that bad.. he put the switch in the panel on the left hand side where it looks like switches should be anyway.. maybe there's an option i don't have that goes there??
