Alright so I just installed two 12" green neons under the dash, and I'm thinking about puting two more under the seats to go in the back, but everyone is talking about cold cathods from oznium, so I'm thinking maybe those. ButI was wondering with them being so cheap would it be a good idea to put two under each bucket seat, one in the back and one in the front to make the front brighter? Or would that not do much?

it'd definitely do something under the back seat, although the neon and cathodes might be different shades of green so it might look odd in the front. Cathodes arent the most durable things in the world, and like badboybilly said a while ago, his cathodes got shattered within the first week of them being uner his back seats. I say go forit though, in all honesty i think it looks sick. You just need to make sure the wires are ran correctly so that the seats are still adjustable back and forth without pinching any wires. Also, you need to warn your friends when they sit back there. I think Billy's got broke because his friends didnt know they were under there and kicked them. www.oznium.com is where i get any of my lighting equipment, whether its LEDs, cathodes, or switches, those guys all have top of the line stuff for a really good price. Good luck! And post pics, neon pictures are always sick [8D]
now that i look at your gallery the neons look fairly dull compared to the cathodes, so i thnk the contrast will either look really odd or really sweet, i cant tell haha
For the price of cathodes... replace those neons. Cathodes are way
brighter than neons. If you replace your neons under the dash with
cathodes you won't need ones under your seats trust me. I had led's in
the front of mine (as you can see in my avatar). I had 1 15 inch tube on
each side. And it was bright as hell but 2 cathodes in the back seat
were brighter than the led's plus there's no hotspots. Its good you're
going with green tho. Because most of the other color cathodes I've seen
in person are pretty dull but green is amazing and blue cathodes are
nothing to frown at.
The only reason mine broke was because like flip said people didn't know
they were there. Plus cuz I think I'm a gangsta my seats were as far
back as possible making for not too much leg room. Had they been better
placed, they would have worked just fine. Like I said replace your neons
with green cathodes and I PROMISE you you will not be dissapointed. And
at 8 bux a pair.. You cannot beat the value. Oznium ftw.
(By the way.. Thank you flip for referring to me. Ha. I was beginning to
feel that I'm a nobody on the forum.. Like nobody knew me.. And most
people don't even acknowlege my posts. So at least I know someone knows
I'm here. Haha)
Yeah I might just do that. I'll order four from oznium, then if like you say just the fronts bright enough i'll do something like on in the trunk and one under the hood or some deal like that.

if you think you might do all that.. just buy them all at once. why pay shipping 3 times when you only need to pay once. and its not like you'd have to save up a ton of money for the cathodes i mean. they're dirt cheap. be careful putting them in the engine bay tho because cathodes are not waterproof. you have to seal up the edges of each tube and you have to put the transformer somewhere where it cant get wet. because as addiction2bass has said a million times, if 1 drop of water gets into the transformer... its done. but yea. i would just buy them all at once and save yourself some moeny for shipping and some time waiting. if you have any questions about wiring or anything dont hesitate to post and we'll answer any questions you have.
I would imagine they would be. But who knows. Could always ask phil. He's always around to talk to customers. +102363829372974828 for oz customer service.
