they do look cheap they don't show you the pictures of what the bulbs look like ( though i guess that doesn't matter ) i wouldn't do it because there's not reason for you to be looking at your pedals; but if you must go to auto-zone and pick out exactly what you like. my cousin did that to his 3CL1P53 ( that's his plates ) and it looks pretty kewl if your into that kinda thing. gl.

this is my experience with them, PERSONALLY, even though they seem to be going out of style, i use NEON tubes as opposed to LEDs...seems to just give a smoother transition across the lighted area, as opposed to LEDS which tend be "spotty" if not given enough space for the light to seperate...BUT if you choose to go neon, be careful where you mount them, becuase one slip of a foot ect, WILL crack the tube and they will be "kapoot"...forever...but heres how i did mine



first, i rescessed mounted them underneith my seat...i have had them for over 2 years and no cracks, you would physically need to lean down and punch them out for them to break (ideal mounting place IMO)

one bar, under each seat a Violia!



NEON!

i just mounted mine on the sides of the center console because that lit up the whole area just like i wanted. That got wayyy too much cop attention so they are no longer on there. oh and crazy4ozs, i like how yours turned out too.

mounted mine under the dash with zip ties... they're great... I got mine from a seller called glowshift something.... I couldn't be happier with them. They came with four tubes and a controller for like $25 shipped
