Installing Interior Neons (alot harder then expected)
So today my friend and I wired 2 12inch blue neon lights I hate the cigerate lighter ******** as if you have them plugged in it looks rediculouly ugly therefore i wanted them cleanly installed.. expecting a one our job, was pure stupidity. it took about 4 hours as it was also a learning expieriences and we were easily distracted. To do this cost about 6 dollars, Wire, Switch and electrical tape. (and the cost of neons)
we placed them just about where the drivers and passengers feet would be, just so u cant see the tube and its as if the light is coming from an unknow sournce. Also wired them to a Switch.
if wanted i can give good instructions on how to do this.
THe blue is a sweeet contrast with the orangish of out interiors.
This pic does not do it justice what so ever.(from camera phone)
Cheers

Surely red would go better guys... surely red. I think I'd just use clears... blue is way to frikkin bling. Maybe in a Chrysler yoghurt carton blue tubes would be an improvement to the interior lighting, but not an e34, it already has lights in most of the right places...
