i attempted to make my own neons with pretty good success by using fishtank airline tubing, two leds in each tube and baby oil in the middle the neon look amazing and especially cool if you dont have any bubbles in the line

Those are pretty nice but for that kind of money id go to the stores and by all the material need to make 50 sets of neons and sell them to anyone who wants to buy them

thanks for the praise guys. there have been a few modifications done since then. a full lexan front bumper. the aluminum one kinda met a curb at top speed. i could have straightened it, but it would just happen again. so the front LED's are gonna get mounted in the lexan bumper now. i REALLY have to get working on this thing and finally get it done. maybe in the next few weeks. i need some rainy days so i cant work on my bike.

sorry man, i havent done any work on the car yet. i have changed my plan on it now. i'm gonna put a pico plc from allen bradley in there to control the lights. it will give me many many options as to what the lights will do. the plc has 8 inputs and 4 outputs. i can program timers, counters, switches, just about everything. i'm thinking STROBE!!! so, it might be a few weeks before i get that. it'll be another few hundred bones, plus time for programming and installation. need a 12VDC source to run it off of too. probably a little lead acid battery. my lithium ion is only 7.2, although i could go for 14.4 with two, that'll work too. i have to repaint the top part of the body too. i just have too many projects going on right now.

as for the mini-chopper, i designed and built it myself. its far from finished, but i took it for a nice rip tonight. a good runner. hope you like!

Default RE: LED Lights

my rear lights light up when reversing (i tinted them) and the front lights light
up when im going forward. it would be cool to have indicators when u turn.
im trying to do ur neon setup on my car with the tubing. i cant seem to find
out which wire i connect it to on the car. can someone make a diagram or something?
