Aight...i was wondering just how much lights...possible neon...or just Leds...our Dome lights could handle...cause i was jsut going go go out and buy like 4-6 LED's....do you think that our dome light could handle all that???

Also do you think that our dome light could handle one 15" neon tube???

The real question is, can your battery handle it?
I'm gonna put 4 EUROLITE bulbs under my car, then I'm gonna set the interior up to glow all sick with some neons all over, then I wanted to put some LED's in my guage pod to change the color, just for now until I get my AC Guages

The real question is, can your fuses handle it?

If you replace a 15 amp fuse with anything larger than that it will severly overate the circuit. this in affect will make your wires in that circuit like a toaster. Eventually if you're lucky enough you'll smell the burning, or if you're not lucky enough you'll just be standing back praying for the fire department to hurry up......:stupid:

to install neons just cut the cigarette lighter thing off and hook the wires up (one hot, one to ground).

i dont know how much small street glow neons cost but i know u can get the underbody kit for less than $160 off ebay brand new.
