I tried that but the extention cord pulls out of the socket before I get to the end of the driveway.

On Altima's it's now an option to have ground lights when you unlock and open the doors to your car. Honestly I thought it sounded pretty dumb at first but it's actually pretty functional at night. It turns off when you start driving your car.

I've seen crap on some peoples cars on here that are a lot uglier than undercarriage lights.

I'd rather have neon lights under my car than chrome inserts/accents of any kind, any kind of checkered flag pattern anywhere, *** ugly body kits, ect.

sad that most of you don't like the LED/NEON lights under the Vettes.

Believe or not they are a huge hit at Parades.

see attached video about 17 second in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJg1wkiNefg

You do know that you can turn them off and on, right?

The set i have you can't even see the tubes below the body. And it can be easily removed if needed.

It doesn't take anything away from the body lines. It doesn't hinder the performance. And it doesn't bring down the value of the Vette.

Please tell me what is so wrong? Other then RICE...

I dont see how you can make it flow with the car? That generally is a show car thing. I mean I can understand maybe engine neon and trunk neon to light up the inside. The neon on that pace car doesnt even match. Yellow would have been a better choice.

2012 Mod Plan: LED lights under car, Brake caliper covers and Curb Feelers. Oh, yeah!!

I like the LED Christmas light idea! LOL! I was thinking of using midgets with flash lights.

I might be interested in this super sweet mod if a vendor offers a Group Purchase deal!

I'm old school and not a fan of the LED craze, but I have seem some C5's and C6's with the LED's under the car in the wheel wells behind the grill and in the coves. Like I said I'm old school and they are not my thing, but if you look around there are a lot of C5's and C6's being bought by a much younger age group than say a few years ago and that many in that generation is into that "Look at Me" so get use to seeing Corvette's riced out. As we always say, it is your car your money so you need to do what you want to do and not what others tell you what to do.

the set under the pace car has (7) Colors with hundreds of patterns and color combinations.

Granted that some people (not to many Corvette owners) buy/install kits that produce only (1) color.

I had it set on Random and Noise activated. So at the time of the video the Blue/Purple combination was showing. If the video was long enough you would have seen Red, Green, Yellow, White, Blue, Purple and Aqua.


Leaving only (1) color on during this parade would have been boring.

So yes, Yellow would have been displayed. And I could have them Flash, Fade, Run, or Stay on.

What until you see a Slow Shutter photo of the Vette moving with under carriage lights, that will answer you question about making it flow with the car...
