Well it could be the fact that you have blue lights. Red is a darker color. But that really does look nice, good job. But what about if someone moves the seat forward or back? Did you just leave slack in the wire?

Yes, blue is brighter on the color spectrum.. but are you're neons street glow brand? I've seen many different brand neons, and the LED ones, and street glow are by far the brightest.
and.. Yea I left just about 4 inches of slack. But I ran the wires under the center console. Now people don't move my seats forward and back that I put the racing seats in. I don't allow it. lol *wink*

Nah they are autozone brand, but I bought the autozone ones in Blue for my trunk on my subs a while ago (when I had a system). And they looked really bright like yours. But like I said, these red lights look amazing in person, the camera just doesn't do them much justice. After I get the turbo kit all squared away money-wise, I'll probably buy some for under the seats as well. You've inspired me .

cool beans..
yea, for some reason digital cameras and any camera for that matter has a hard time picking up red in the dark. Maybe if you take more pix, set the exposure a little higher with no flash. Just hold the camera steady.
k, off to bed for me.. its like 1:30am and I need to get up in a few hours lol. laterz.

Those pix look alot better. Those are plenty bright for me. Good job on those--lookin good.
--I took out the center console and ran my wires underneath there. You can't see them at all. I didn't really want to peel back all my carpeting when I ran them. The street glows I have came with little 3x1x1inch boxes with fuses and power converters in them so I didn't want buldges under my carpet.. I didn't really have another choice on that. =/

while I drive, it gives the interior a better feel and environment.

Neons range in price. You can get them at Autozone for 20 bux.. or go a little more high end and pay like 50 bux. You can get all sorts of neons that pulse to the bass and even look like lava. I have neons in my custom fiberglass trunk setup that pulse to the bass and light up my subs.
