If you do put it inside the nostrils, make sure you can't directly see the tube. The glow effect looks wicked, but seeing the neon tube directly looks cheap and junky.

I have a few LED neon tubes that I would like to mount in my car, I Have them all wired up near where I would like to put them, but do not know how I can mount them with out being seen and without damaging stuff to much. If you could let me know of some ways let my know, I have one above my feet on the driver and passanger side and one under the seat both areas too. And then one on each side in the rear seating area and two in the hatch, I just don't know how I can mount them out of sight. Thanks everyone
