Right click on the bigger picture and click properties. Then copy the url.

Then here, type this (without any quotes) "<"img src=your url here">"

Are they battery operated? Or hard wired?

I wonder if you can tell that there are lights behind the grill if you driving in front and look in the rearview mirror at night.

I would get a switch from autocarparts.com that matches the rest for $40. Just a suggestion to make it look cleaner.

What do you mean? I'm not planning on doing that to my car. It's not my style. Now some flourescent lighting strategically placed inside the car to set the mood... now that's a different story.

I gotta say, it's cool that you've got the aptitude to pull this off, but doesn't it just SCREAM, "Hello, officer! Pull me over!"?

The neon emblem looks great. The neon looks ricey. Get a real switch. The switch is high school hot-rod circa 1965

I like it , but would also say that to complete the look, get the fog light switch from the TL and hook it up. Other than that it looks great

Im thinking that neon outside of your car is illegal especially blue or red for that matter since those colors are reserved for the po-po

In response to everyones question is it legal or not, the answer is an obvious NO! This is why i had the neons and emblem routed to a switch so i could turn them on and off whenever i choose to. I figure if i did ever get pulled over id switch em off. When off The neon tubes are not visibe from the outside and the emblem looks stock when shut off so i figure id say to the pig, um i mean officer that "yeah those factory zeon lights are bright, arent they?" The cops in my town are stupid enough to believe that
