i had a set of neon on my old ranger but had to take them off in the winter..
i just got a 2.1 million color led kit for my new truck and am waiting until i lift it to see where to go with them. i also got the door handle kit. I like lights under my truck.

Personaly. I have never liked the Neon thing in the first place. I dont think it looks bad. But it looks like its just too much. If its interier its a lil different. I have L.E.D.'s all in my cab. And I have strobes in the headlights and taillights. I think that is too much. And I just dont think they look very good. And plus, you cant really even see them anyways.

Don't forget churches (ie. the one in the Blues Bros.). I'm definetaly not a fan of them on cars and trucks though.

They were writing tickets that night just for neon violations. When I went to pay the $65 ticket the clerk said 6 other people had paid for that violation that week. You see people with them here all the time but if the po po gets bored they can bust you for it.
this is true. my brother got a ticket for having blue under his rodeo. i dont know how it is in most places but i know in texas there are certain laws for neons. for one your not supposed to be able to see the actual tubes. which if you can you did a bad job installing but thats not the point. you just need to check the laws in your area for specific details. other than that i think neons look good on a lifted truck as long its not too high off the ground.
