problem with the tubes is if u hit something or a rock even hits them, they car break and then u r efffed.... have to get a new tube... leds on the other hand last alot longer and are alot stronger than the tubes.... but that is just me....

i like some neon kits on cars... just not my car.....

i had a guy around town that had them on his saturn... and honestly it looked sweet sitting in a parking lot.... they were blue and the car was two tone, black on top and blue on the bottom, gave the car a really cool effect... it had a body kit on it to, so it looked slammed....

I have had both before. Tubes first and they were fine until a speedbump. a little hit and the tube exploded. I then switched to LED's. uses less power, since the LEDs don't draw that much power they will last longer.

I've always thought about white LED tubes as well, to have just because. Not too expensive either I suppose, but I'd never use them is my main thing! I'd go with the LEDs though, last longer, should be more durable and IIRC, they are cheaper too.
