Very cool. For $40 they seem like a steal. So they dont sit flush with the sideskit, though...?

From what I hear JLeviSW does pretty good work. THey look good but you will have to do a bit of fabricating. The end result would be worth it though

They look really cheap, but that's why there only $40. bucks

Not for me, I prefer the overall glow as opposed to the spot light effect. But alas, no more neons/lighting effects for me. They're useless in the land of the midnight sun when all of the activities occur. Come winter when it is dark enough, they're illegal to run while driving.

I would just be worried that if one quits working then you are gonna either have to pull them all out or else turn them off!

Or else you could just break the same one on the other side of the car.

Im not a big fan of the spot effect either.

There was another thread recently were a guy did the same thing but with LED's. Turned out pretty well but there is still the spotting I take issue with.
