Yikes
Maybe you could use them in Dubi when they have a bad sand storm so you don't get hit?

Not a big fan of colored NEON... but I do dig the white LED puddle lights, mostly a VIP thing. Either under the car, or in the bottom of the door so they show when it's opened.

Someone on my street has it on a TRD Tacoma (the lowred street style, not the off road style). I never saw it until a couple weeks ago when we were driving home at night and he was pulling out of his driveway. I couldn't help but laugh as I stated to my wife "People still use neon undercar lighting??" It was stupid then, it is stupid now. Kinda like lighted windshield washer squirters.

given how often I've managed to step into something.. I'd rather not have stepped on getting out of the car, some kind of running light that turns on when you pop the door locks or open the door would be nice. The colored neons though, takes a certain kind of car to make them look even remotely cool, even then only when parked at a show, not driving around.

Most definitely rice. On a sport bike might be ok would have to see it, probably not on any American bike though.

I think that they are really cool, along with the chasing LED license plate frames from the 80's....
J/K they are useless and out dated....not that they were cool then either!

Neon is for lighted signs, so unless your car is a moving billboard, leave the neon off of it.

Cops will nail you with the 'only emergency vehicles can have spcial lighting or lights any color other that DOT approved'.
Cops love to nail the guys with those around here, you can see them blocks away, and usually a cruiser right on them.
You can display them all you want parked though.

I agree, lowriders (without neon, of course) are cooler than neon.
Even those vip puddle lights are cooler than neon.
