Light color selection

Post by MoparNeonMan » Tue Mar 06, 2007 5:29 pm

Im looking to put a nice underbody LED setup on my SXT once I get the wheels done.

I have the Grahpite Gray paint and I am unsure of what color to use with it. This will be a strictly show only thing. I was thinking green or blue.


Suggestions?



(and please keep the flaming to a minimum. I know some consider it rice I call it an accent piece to marvelous design)

blue if i only had blue and green to choose from, green is over rated. if it was up to me then id maybe go with red.

I had red neons a long time back. Looked good. But I need to find a color that I can tie everything together with. Im gonna redo the head loner, visors, and engine accents.

ont think because I mentioned red and blue that those are the only available colors. The entire spectrum is open.

i have a green LED underbody kit on mine with blue interior for my floors and cupholders.. got the underbody from ebay for 70shipped, really really bright, had it for awhile now with no problems.. if you cant decide on color, and have about 215$ go get this...... watch the demo.

the ufo kits are nice but way outta my price range just for lights, regardless of what they do..

if you just want 7 color selectable,, here..

if you go single color, id say green, cops will hassle you for red or blue. come to think of it, white might look good with the graphite.. nice and clean..................

any color of my LED rope light that I sell. ;)

It's a full wrap around kit that goes up into the wheel wells and around the car.

But green would defentally be different. Everyone uses blue.

I was talkin to my dad yesterday (hes been a goto for many years when it comes to cars and things like this) and he actually suggested Purple. Why not....no one has purple, and I can tie that into the interior fabric

meh.. purple?, my g/f wants purple on her 98 millenia, im gonna spring for that blaze inferno kit i posted above.. so she can have whatever color shes in the mood for.. purple, blue red green white etc....... prob gonna get it for myself as well and take off my green ones.

i say go for the 7color.. why have 1 when you can choose whatever you want on the fly..


whatever you do, go LED kit (wide angle leds), tons brighter, will last forever, never break, minimal current draw. and even if the tube cracks, is still fully functional. the neon glass tubes are fragile, although give slightly more all around (glow) compared to some cheaper led kits, the leds are always gonna be brighter.
some have reg neon tubes and they last forever, ive seen many others though crack them and break them easily. one hard pothole, etc..

im not biased to leds, myself i do have 2 36inch green neon tubes and have never had a problem with them. 1 is mounted in the trunk to replace my trunk light, and the other is mounted in my grill ziptied to my airdam so you cant see it, so the whole front grill lights up to match the underbody kit..

I'll probably be selling my ufo kit, it adds way too much damn weight! Plus I'm making the transition from show to go!

I had neon when I had my red kit back when. It diddnt last me but like a month. Ive already planned on the leds. Im getting the 4 piece under body kit, the wheel well kit...amd Im going to modify the crash foam in the front end so i can recess one on that to lit the upper grill....and I may do the lower as well.

i don't want to plug my product -too- much, but instead of running all of those wires, look at this.
