Inside neons.
Hey guys im new here. I wanted to get some orange neons for my xA. And i just wanted to know if anyone knows if its better to go with 6" or 9" for under the drivers and passengers side. Then under the drivers and passenger seats.
And if this site is reliable or not.

What is cathode exactly? I was doing some research on it, but idk exactly what it is. And what color would go best with a silver xA w/ black interior. I was thinking orange because it comes with that little orange light but that site doesn't offer orange.

Cathodes arent brighter that why I switched and they are fragile and with the LEDs its just two wires vs the cathodes have the box you have to plug them into. The flexible LEDs have 8 diff sizes.

Orange is not a very bright color.
Although if you really want orange, AND you want it bright, this is your only option: http://www.oznium.com/high-power-waterproof-led-module
Put 1 of the 120 degree ones under each side of the dash.
Trust me, you will be amazed by the brightness.
You could even hook them up to the controller to make them flash: http://www.oznium.com/cathode-music
If you don't want it as bright, then you can try these: http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips
The 9.5" or 19" would be a good choice for each side.

The led tubes are 4 ft verses 2 ft of cold cathodes. Period end of discussion!!!!!
Plus cathodes are only fragile if not mounted correctly. My underdash cathodes have lived for 3 years under my dash and rear seats. Guess I mounted them right huh?
And are they bright. They light up my headliner and side pillars.

Ok well I'm not going to argue because IN MY OPINION the leds were brighter and thats why I switched. I had them side by side in my car and the leds were brighter. And even if you mount them correctly somehow you could hit them and they could break.

I agree they could break. I've got cathodes on my wifes jeep and they have been mudding a few times and they still work fine. They do take some abuse but to a point.
Maybe you had different leds than mine? Mine are nite glow leds so that could be why.
