Pretty happy with the neons, very happy with the LEDs.
Pic makes the LEDs look a bit brighter than they really are, but its quite effective :D

I think so. Better than the neons anyway :P
3M tape is like glue and since they don't weigh anything they should be there forever :P

They bent 'enough' when I put them on a little bit at a time like you suggested. Haven't bothered to check how symmetrical they are, better I don't know :P

Theres 4 tubes. 2 on the flat metal bar essentially in the middle of the bumper, and 2 up the very top stuck to the bumper itself (those 2 werent working for a few days and it still looked alright so I think they're in a bad spot :P).

Its a bit embarrassing how badly they're stuck on though, one half-fell off. I need to sort it one day or I'll be running them over before I know it :(


I think I set the LED's a bit too far back, you can't see them standing up until you're about 7 metres away :P
But no way I can fix them without ruining them, so there they stay :D

Sorry, I'm just happy to have more mods :P
Both really easy mods when you have everything you need.

Jake just remember that cars are usually alot further than 7m away and sit lower down than standing so people will see them driving ;)

I put my blue ones on with super glue, so far so good :D

even if they do fall down they shouldnt make it anywhere near the wheels so it should be safeish

Yeah I know Graham...

And I'm considering superglue. Not like I care if its messy as only I ever see in there :P

They don't sit completely flat though. Dunno how I'd glue them...

The control units are stuck on really well though so even if the neons fall off they just hang there rather than fall out of the car :P
