There arent all that many neon brands out there. Im assuming they'll be the same except some can either be turned on all the time or beat w/ the music. Most have cigarette plug ins, but you could add a switch and wire them in permantely somewhere. I have one under the passenger dash and put it in there w/ zip ties.

It depends man. Are you wanting to light up the floorwell, or accent things that have curves. With the tube, you can hide it out of site and it will provide plenty of sweet looking neon glow. the wires wont glow as muhc persay...I think its more of a neon that you are supposed to see. Like outling your console with it or something. Hope I have helped!

Sounds good! Post some pics when your done! If you dont feel like splicing, which would be easy, they do make cigarette splitters...which can take four things that plug into it. Ive got one.

i just did that, i put LED's instead because i could change the color of the light. And there held in by zip ties, front and back. I love those things. Relativly easy mod. I forget where i got them from

"cigarette splitters"

Where can I get one of those??

They've got em all over! I dont know if Wal-Mart has them anymore...but yeah, like they said, Advanced Auto, Autozone and maybe Meijers. They are like 8 bucks. They'll either be by the neon or the power invertors...actually, I think thats where they are @ Wal-mart

It would look cool!

But if you have lots of tubes, you'll have lots of messy wires and then you'll have to plug in/out the cig. lighter to power them. I would hardwire them into a 12v power source with a switch, but either way works! I planned on doing that but oh well!

Well, I got blue LEDs for all the lights (dome, door, trunk). I'm thinking two tubes in front and possibly two smaller ones under the drivers/passenger seat. I want to add a light under the hood...but that would take real work.
