im thinking of getting neon lights on my sled...what r some of the best places and how muckh is it gonna cost
How bright are the l.e.d.lights? Are they really as bright as neon? I find it hard to believe. Do you want a professional setup or a cheesy setup. The choice is yours. you get what you pay for.ethan.justinger said:im thinking of getting neon lights on my sled...what r some of the best places and how muckh is it gonna cost
post some pics when you get em done like to see how you have your set upChristopherM said:it took me about 2 hours to do the soldering to each strip. now i have wires i can use but splices with electrical tape. i'm going to route the wires under the hood to a small plastic container with a few 9volt batteries ran in parallel. i didn't buy single leds i bought led strips off ebay from hong kong. bunch of 12 inch long strips most costing around 2$ shipped.

Have you actually seen or owned neon lights? I have seen both and in my opinion the neon is brighter. I have had neon tubes going into season 4 now and never had an issue. Snow glow has only had one broken tube in all the years they have sold them. I would call that durable. I am off trail all the time in logged out areas and put them to a lot of abuse. im not trying to start anything but I think they are both probably good products.bj.hardy said:they are brighter, an last longer an more durablepolaris50thman said:How bright are the l.e.d.lights?
