I've got the Streetglow Gold Line kit in blue. I believe it cost me about 120 and its with a lifetime warranty. I'll try and snap some pics this week.

I've got the same kit cept in white. Here's the only pics I have:




Thinking about switching to blue, cause white just doesn't light up that bright.

Yeah mine is as bright as the others, but white doesn't show up as well. Like for example at night when you pulll into a parking lot that's well lit white doesn't show that well on white concrete like another color would.

it shows up but since normal light is white it mixes well but if you have a color it stands out more. white just looks nicer to me, it doesnt scream out there like green which is pretty much what you always see, white is just a cleaner "nice car" look on most color cars

Is there a lot of maintenance/cleaning involved with underbody neons? I'd imagine they'd get pretty filthy and lose brilliance after rain storms and such

There an off company generic that copies the JDM version. . . and I don't think they are made anymore. I paid chump change for em. . . I don't really have any other good pics, cuz I'm lazy. They came as little pods, circular pods, about 2" in diameter, and about an inch thick, and are mounted with sticky tape and screws. They didn't include brackets, so mounting requires measureing, or using the pre set length of wire they came with (but I swapped out the wires for better shielded ones). They also came with an ugly control pod which controls whether or not the lights stay on, of flash to the sound of music. But That control is kinda ugly (and I'm not down with the Las Vegas Casino flashy lights), so I hit the control, and wired a seperate plain jane black switch on the black below the ignition (xA).

I got the street glow OPTX and it is red green blue light blue purple white and yellow and it has patterns and can flash with the music. it is really cool but not quite as bright as the regular neons. As for install if you look unter the xb the ground fx are kind flimsy and drilling is not suggested in my opinion so i just zip tied them all down really tight and it works a lot better that way.
