Did you goto school mate? You seem to struggle using a keyboard for some reason.

Neons are

1. pretty gay

2. A final ( final cosmetic mod) that you CAN do to add 5 stars of wank to your machine. I'm pretty sure i'd only add some if I did have some crazy yellow, pink or green paint job.. but your call.

Get the cheaper ones.. they all do the same shit, light up gas inside a tube .. you just wire it directly to the battery

Maybe spend the money on some engine mod's first and once you have owend your line for a bit you will see what a dick you would have been with neons on your car.

thats my 2 cents

But the end of the day it's your car

I love how everyone finds the time in less then 3 hours to be a dick... why not be a man and find a thread that you might be able to solve?

I have neons on my car... MY car, its not yours, i dont have to do what you say...

that being said, i never use them anyway... maybe once or twice when parked in a crowd... installation is easy as, and the LED ones dont break as easily, they allow a bit of flex... and one small crack in the tube doesn't mean you have to throw them away... getting an even spray of light on the ground is hard though...

Why is it every week we have someone asking about neons to put on their skyline :)

Your car buddy, do what u want, but i suggest doing a search on stuff like this first because A: Its been covered a million times and B: You will get smart ass responses because 90% of ppl on here think they are a gay thing to do under your car.

But to help in your question, yes its relitevely easy to wire them up as long as you know what your basically doing, cause you really dont want an electrical fire in your car.

I have these one. Have had the for long time and had no problems. I have the colour change ones.

With the sqaure tube design of these they are less prone to damage.

Need any more info on them, PM me ;)

I have got a couple of those 30cm slimline Cold Cathode tubes off ebay in the "computer section". They are easy to wire up and give off good light. By the way i only got them to light up the area where ur feet go to help ya see where ya feet go at night when ya open the doors.

Also i replaced the boot light with a brighter Cold Cathode tube also. Makes it a hell of a lot easyier to see what ur doing in there. Specially when ya have to play with amp settings etc at night.

I think that they can be usefull. I intend on getting some more to put under the bonnet so that if ya have the hood up at night workin on the car you can see what the hell is going on.

Good when used in a practical sense.

My 2 C

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
