Still a Classic: Neon Undercarriage Lights

For many years, neon lighting has been a popular night light in billboards, bars, signs, clubs, and in trucks and cars. For neon lights in a car, tubes are set under the car producing a striking glow, giving your vehicle an additional detail for others on the road to take a look at. Although there are newer, more advanced types of lighting systems in cars today like LED lights, neon lights are still popular.

There's been talk regarding under car neons by car buffs; some negative and some positive. Compared to LED lights, neon lights are a great deal brighter, making it perfect for someone that wants to add a glowing or appealing aura under their car. The way the neon lights gleam around and under your car makes it easy to work around all angles, giving yourself the sensation of floating while displaying other cool features of your customized car. The neon lighting is set in a special plastic that protects the neon tubes. The protection gives the lights more durability.

Single LED bulbs aren't as bright. So you would need a lot of LED tubes to equal the brightness of neon lights. If you'd like a solid and fluid underglow system, neon lighting is again the better choice. You can also put these neon lights on smaller areas in the inside of your car including under the seat, on the dashboard and on the doors. As far as classic car lighting is concerned, neon lighting is unrivaled.

Neon lights are less expensive than LED lights. These lights are your quick fix when you want a light system now, since they can be installed easily. You even can plug them in the cigarette lighter in your car. Neon lighting can even be set to move through the beat of your stereo. On a more functional level, neon lighting has been popular for a long time.

However, LED light fanatics view neon underglow lights as old school in customized cars. The lack of glow in LED lights is counterbalanced through its durability as LED bulbs last longer than neon light bulbs. LED lights can be set to produce a variety of patterns or color shades, unlike neon lights which display only a limited color set. LED lighting can be controlled via infrared. LED underbody lights typically start up faster than neon lighting, particularly when it is cold. But most of all, the barely sealed LED bulbs do not consume as much energy as neon lights.

Even though car lovers want to say that neon lights are out, your underbody lighting depends on what you would like your car to look like. It is a fact that neon lights will give cars more of a glow, more of the charm, and more of an edge. Actually, much of the retro and old-school dialogue is what makes neon lighting a classic night light in custom cars and in street racing. The brilliant elements of this type of lighting makes certain that your car receives the undivided attention it deserves.
