#38431, "Using Neon in Tail Light Mod ???"


          

Is it possible for me to use a small red neon tube instead of the normal light bulbs to perform this mod?

Just a thought

i owuld say no, as it is a non-DOT approved bulb. Also, a neon bulb cannot be seen from the outside of the car. I would suggest using a DOT approved 3rd brake light off the wing of some other car, a subaru perhapse. Not that i have looked into it or anything emoji

Either your not understanding my question or im not understanding ur answer, let me clarify.

By using the tail light mod on this site, is it possible for me to put the neon inside on the light instead of the smaller bulbs?

does that help any?

i was thinking bout doin that same thing that u did GSwede96, to get the outside to look like that did u just get the tailight painted and then take off the letters or something else. and do u have it hooked up like the brake lights so that they light up when u hit the brake cuz thats what i wanted to do to my tailight.
