Not Yoda talk. Lack of punctuation. not really a big deal considering we're talking in a colloquial tone on the internet.

if you decide to put neon under your truck make sure you use rubber grommets for the wires.i have seen and replaced many sets of neon that people have installed theirselves that forgot to use the grommets.safety first and good luck if you decide to go with the neon.

make sure the things are hidden enough in the body where you arnt going to see them. This kid around town has a "pimped" Cavalier. Looks so damn stupid. Primer black, a HUGE wing, Dual Exhuast (weed wacker) and he threw purple neon's underneath and hung them a little to low, so when they were on, you could acctually see the whole tube.. looks really stupid. Just something to keep in mind!

my two cents~
I've got a neon kit on my dak right now. I have had experience hooking up neon on my truck already, i do it all the time. If your not to sure about your self, have it done. However that can be costly, and that is why i did mine myself. Like the other guys said take your time, it is frustrating. Two 48" fit perfect just underneath the doors, and if you do it right you wo'nt see them. One 30" tube just above the rear bumper works great. The front one.. well your on your own as to where you want to put that. as metioned before you are driving a dak, not a honda. Cops WILL pick up on that, believe me! I am followed almost every other night because of them. Mine are red by the way. But i guess the neon behind the grille and the hedlight strobes don't help either.he he he. Oh well, really does look cool in the end, i get many complements at car shows. Any questions just let me know. peace :)

Liteglow looks like they have a good selection of items and if you look at their gallery they've got a Dodge Dakota down in Florida that's pretty tricked out.
I'm picking up some Liteglow items for engine bay dress-up and will let you know how everything goes.

I (well. my buddy did, I just did the bitch work) recently put two neons from Wal-Mart in my truck. they look pretty good. me and my friend wired them rather than using the standard generic cigerette lighter adapters. wasnt incredibly hard. we put the switch in my center console that is what took most of the time. Overall including, taking the thing apart, putting the switch in, running the cable, finding a good ground, and everything took about 3 1/2 hours. Take your time, hide the wires, do it right, most of the stuff just snaps on, so be careful when pulling it off. I broke one of the clips for my bottom door guard off, but didnt effect anything.

Hey Dan, how do you change it to use a switch rather than the cigarette lighter things?

I just instaled a 4pc set of liteglow blue tubes sunday and man do they look good. I mounted the 48in tubes on the sides tucked in agenst the frame so you cant see the tubes, and I put a 36in right by my spare tire going lengthwise, and I had to remove the little plastic cover in the front of the Dak under the radiator and mounted the other one ther in the front, all the tubes are hidden and all you see is the glow, it took all day to get it done, but it was well worth it. The wireing was a sinch, and I have it hooked to a switch right by my turning signal and then I put my old one back in the cab, it looks real good, now im getting some custome switches to make it look real good.

I just put on a 4 pc set on my dak. did the same as Jesse T. mounted the sides under the cab, cant see those. had a hard time with the back cause i got the hitch. so now i gotta get another neon to mount someplace so i dont have the black line goin across the back form the hitch. and the front i mouted in the same place as jesse. took me and my buddy a few hours to mount em. only problem i have with em is that i couldnt find a place to run the wires into the cab for the switch. so i had to run em through the fender and every time u open the door u see 2 red wires runin through.
