Default My Ram Air Lights

I was hesitant to show these pics because of the stereotype that any kind of neon brings but **** it, it only cost me about $30 and the lights and wires all together maybe added a 1/2 lb total so I did it. They also pulse to sound so at idle they will flicker a little and when i get on the gas they come full on.

Knightrider, the modern knight rider that should have been in that new tv show or movie what ever it was. I didnt watch the new one because it featured a mustang. I respect what you did with the neons. Just the neon showing through the gap between fender and door is weird looking see if u can fix that.

I know it gets on my nerves a little but I cant figure out a good way to block the light through there. If anyone has any ideas feel free to post them!

You could try fashioning a shade out of some thin sheet metal perhaps.

I just did LED's in my car this past weekend. I can get pics soon. I think the LED's are better cuz you dont have that light shining through the door.

That's actually pretty cool! Although you may get Tramps & vagrants trying to warm their hands on it in the winter, thinking it's an electric heater.
