i got bored this morning so i went ahead and installed some neons i was supposed to put on a year ago
i had 4 red 8inch tubes, so i put one behind the rear tire on the frame, and one under the cab near the back.

will get pics up after camera charges,
i low~balled it so they turn on with the truck,(couldnt find the switch) lol
once i find it or get a new one all i have to do is hook it up the wires are run to where they need to be.
they may or may not last but hell, after sitting on my porch for a year, its not like im losing anything but time.

leafs not gonna be in the way? You taking them out? Might make the ride a bit rough

You should double up on the neons, do one on either side of the wheel

Hmmmm....

Did you look at LED's?  I decided to go with LED's for my interior rather than neons just because they are easier.  Just kinda curious why you went with the neons....

I didn't have a problem with the LED strips I bought.  Nice and even glow pattern.  I looked at neons too, but I didn't like the fact of having to find a place to hide that power converter or whatever it is.  I was a little concerned about the light patern when I bought them, but after the install, I am completely happy.  Plus they will outlast the truck.  Not nocking your truck or your neons, I was just curious.  Your neons look pretty good.
