Underbodies Questons

[slowandlow]

i am going to put underbodies on but done know weather to go neon or led? if i go neon i am going street glow gold series and i can get them for 125 shiped. and led 7 color are 185 shiped all input is wealcome.

i'm running the blaze led kit from oznium and they are pretty badass, they have a music interface also.

[smlzalero]

I've got neons, I personally like the glow from them better than the glow from leds.

[cherrington17]

but neons can break, leds do not. thats the major benefit.

neons = glass tubing w/ gas inside
LED = plastic tubing w/ acrylic plastic lights inside. if one blows you don't lose them all.

i'm more partial to led ones. when i get my own set that what i'm getting. but to each their own.

depends on the guality of the led set, mine are very bright, and like i said they dont just sit "on" they will pattern to the beat of music.

[FormulaNERD]

if you go LED make sure it's a flat LED setup so you wont see little circles on the ground

i have ebay led's and they were only 60 bucks shipped, but they rock.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

from the few people I've talked to that have used both, they said they like the look of neons, and they like the durability of LEDs. With LEDs picking up in quality (for looks), I would say go with LEDs.

I know what you mean, but I'm not referring to brightness. I'm talking about the glow that neons have that LEDs don't. LEDs look like lights, while neons glow

yes, that's a definate must.

[johny_boy32]

its all a personal preference. I have grown acustom too plain jain neons. You shouldn't have any trouble with streetglow, plus you get a warranty.

[jabartram]

that UFO kit is like the ICEDLED kit from Oznium, but half the price, Oznium wants $700, for $350 thats a badass deal. thanks for the link.

[slowandlow]

i was just wondering about the quality of the item?

[jabartram]

the very first set i had was an ebay set, it was descent, i had to disassemble 1 tube and resolder 5 leds but i only paid 35 bucks so i wasn't gonna gripe, but once i fixed that they worked fine. i really like the set i have now, but i want to upgrade again.

[slowandlow]

i asked the seller they are a iceled clone with improvements so i think i will give them a try.

[jabartram]

cool, let me know.

[Silentalero]

leds, and heres why


my car is layd out and you dont see the dots.....just get a good kit...only reason u see em a lil is because the floor there is completely reflective.

[TheSoundDemon]

Ah Silent...I'm still a fan of that bad ass car of yours.

[slowandlow]

silent you are on juce not air?
also what under kit do you use?

[Silentalero]

yea im on juice and i have the iceled kit

[Pimpalero03]

i like neons because of the solid color. dont like the dots

[Silentalero]

yea but neons you also break the tubes alot easier....led circuit boards are more flexible..

plus fif u ge ta good kit you will have no dots and alot more light :)

[Whitetigerboi83]

even if you do get a set of LEDs that sorts show dots on the ground just get a frosted contact paper and cut it to maybe an inch and put it on the bottom of the tube it'll diffuse it a little but then you can always take it off later on.. it would even help from getting the tube all pock marked and all.. or go as far af to spray paint a frosted color on to it .. but i like the contact paper route can always change it if you dont like it
