Okay looking at getting some undercar lighting done...just wanted to hear from the peeps out there what they recommend? LED? Neon? Bang for the buck?

thanks!

 

Check out www.oznium.com they are a site sponcer and the person name is Phil, nice guy and first rate product and service, enough said.


Good luck on your lighting!

Also, for LEDs maybe check out www.varad.com I lit my box up with their light kits and it looks awsome with 1000 colors.
The products are excelent quality but the prices are probably better @ Oznium. Both are great!

 

another oznium vote....

 

I LOVE my Varad lights. A little expensive , but you get what you pay for. I'm fully sponsored, but even if I would have had to pay for them I would.

RBasil, how did you go about getting sponsored and what are some perks? PM me if you want.

 

I'm sponsored because of the theme of my car. My agreement with most of my sponsors does not allow me to discuss the "perks". Sorry.

 

Personally, My vote goes to old school neon. I've used both LED and neon and LED's are cool because they can be programmed and are quite durable.

But after I sold my LED kit I wanted some kinda light back under there so I bought a $40 e-bay neon kit and was amazed. It's far brighter than LED's. I can be driving down a 3 lane road and still light up the curb of the road from the other side. It lights up other cars and fully lights up the underside of my car unlike the LED's that just made a "square" of light under the car.

I would only recommend LED's if you want durability and the ability to change colors. I've had my neons for about 5 months so far and they are still just as bright as when I installed them. But The clamping hardware has a kind-of built in suspension thats pretty cheap. I know it's only a matter of time before it gets frail and cracks. But it's only like 40 bucks for a whole new kit. So I'm not worried.

 

I've used cold cathodes and LEDs on this pic.



but i've gone all LEDs because it's easier to wire them draws little power than CCFL or Neons.

i've got more pics here:

I personally feel LED's are better because of the power usage. I can leave my car with all 150+ LED's running for 12+ hours with no worries about my xB starting. You can't do that with Neon or Cold Cathodes.

 

varad lights all the way

 

just a quick question... NJforce, where di you get your trunk piece etched like that?

i have to vote oznium lol. everything i've got came from them ^^

 

neothin Quarter Wave Designs made the Custom Made Sub Box Has Fan 32 Green Leds Dual Amps and Draws Made With Carpet and Vinyl.Custom Made Scion Etched Plexi Glass.they where on this site but the two guys parted ways but the guy that made my stuff james is opening shop soon.he's on here but forgot his name think he still makes stuff for people i can try to find him for you.

 

whats better to get the plasma under car kit or the flowlight under car kit

 

Are there any kind of battery kits to hook up so the LEDs don't drain your regular battery? How long can I honestly keep them on before my battery dies?

 

with LEDs you can leave them on for hours befor you'd really have to worry about it

 

the optima battery is a great battery, my friend left is xb on with his tv's on, his underglows, and his system on for 6 hours and it still started up

 

ya... led's draw like nothing.

my oznium underbody kit is fused @ 2 amps if that tells you anything ^^

 

Where can you get an Optima battery and does anyone know what size fits in the xB?
