Interior Neon??
I am wondering what is the best way to attach neon tubes under the front dash? I looked and there isn't anything you can really screw them into. 
Also what is the best way to permanently wire them to you vehicle without using the cigarette lighter? Thanks everyone.

i agree wit Zoo Racer. I saw his Car with the LED,those lil things are freaken bright as hell. you could make like 5 LEDs for the price of one Neon light. IMO those things look ugly in the day time, but at night they are brighter and look better than any freakin neon.

Not sure what an LED draws for power but 15" neon rods only draw about .3 amps. I have green 10" rods under my dash and 15" under the seats. They are bright but not enough to make you aggrivated or attract unwanted attention. Send me an IM at Morphling2001 on AIM and I will be happy to send you pics of what mine came out like and how i attached them. I will also help you to build custom switch boxes etc....Just ask.
