i wouldnt suggest it, cops will harass you. I had my red neons hook up to my car, so when i put my left turn signal on the left neon would flash, brake all of them would come on, when I hit the button for the keyless remote they would all flash like my headlights. And one time a cop pulled me over and gave me a nice ticket and a court hearing for "intimidating an officer"

Don't you mean "Impersonating an Officer"?

But thats cool how you hooked that all up like that

lol ya thats what I mean. I knew something was wrong in that sentence. Anywho, it was pretty cool, but not worth the trouble of doing the wiring.

how is having funky flashy underbody neons "impersonating an officer"?

Flashing lights makes people think you're an undercover cop car, or so the man says.

yea.. but i just want on under the rear bumper to when i hit my brakes lights red light comes out from under the bumper.... i want people to know i'm stopping ..... for some reason people have been coming really close to me when i stop at night... i want as much light to warn them...

Do you have LED 1157 bulbs? That's a much better investment for stopping visibility than dull neon tubes. Also, your tails aren't at all painted, are they?

no my tails aren't painted and lights are in workign order... maybe i will try drilling some whols under bumper and putting some led lights in there... ...

[Coomer]

No, I mean replace your current bulbs with actual 1157 LEDs...they light up brighter and instantly.

i'll try that... i guess is a trip to autozone tomorrow..

[Coomer]

Autozone may not have them...not sure though. And also, be warned that they may make your blinkers blink faster due to less resistance. You may have to add a resistor at some point to account for the decreased resistance.

they autozon i go to has them... they have led lights for every size ... and i'm not just going to use them for the brake lights....i might evern hook up some lights so the top of my rear window lights up .... or maybe the whole window edge ..
