along the side sills you can drill the holders, however the neons will stick out a bit... I used U clamps instead and got much better results.

Front and rear is up to you.

INterior UV Lights...

These are barley noticable when u get in the car... Hooked up via the interior lights.

If you need good deal on photography, let me know.

Last time I checked for Queensland it's illegal to have them on while driving or if the tubes are visible without needing to get under the car.

yes it is illegal to hay them running on the car when driving.
you can only have them on if in a car show or somthing like that, but some cops will defect you just for having them on your car even if they are not turned on.
I know this as one of my workers just got busted for it :evil:

Here in Perth they are illegal if the tube can be seen. If u can place it and hide it well under the car then its all good. They stopped selling neon lights here awhile ago. For undercar they sell LED lights, not the proper neon gas lights. Do they still sell em in eastern states?

yeh available everywhere...

Mine used to fit perfectly...

Took them out as the crappy Ebay specials started not working after 6 months or so....

So thinking im going to buy a good set...

Use U brackets for mounting as opposed to the supplied clips... much stronger and ride the neons right up against the body... whereas the clips hold them down a bit...

ahh i see. yeah those U connections would make it a whole lot easier and less visible. I have got a set of brand new neon lights but never got time to put them on. Dont think iam gonna put them on now! Really cant be bothered dealing with the cops or cops keeping an eye on me!

Yeah, I have some under body ones too ... They were pretty cool .. You could activate them by remote control ... Was going to put them on the Hyundai, but pulled it apart before I got around to it ...

Don't think I will put them on the Evo, so maybe on the FTO ....

Were you after any particular colour ??? I will suss out if I am going to put them on my car .. Maybe next weekend ... So yeah, not sure if I will sell them, but it is possible...

They are a full kit in Blue ... Picked them up in Singaprore a while ago .. They come with all instructions, plus a remote control trigger ... Which I think is a lot cooler then having a normal switch ...
