these will be going under the dash. if the neon tubes get hot, i guess ill get the l.e.d. ones. whats the difference anyway? i always thought that the l.e.d. ones looked like a bunch of dots in a row instead of one straight light like the tubes? do l.e.d. tubes look the same or what?

No, they have a protective plastic case that keeps the little heatthey make in. They're not wide or powerful enough to generate that much heat.

LED's do last longer. They can last over 10 years of being on continuously.
Neons do heat up but i would'nt be much of an issue.
But LED's are lighter and more durable than neon tubes. You dont have to be as careful where to place the LED tubes as they are extremely hard to break.

p.s. If you do decide to go with the LED tubes let me know, i sell them
