hello all

has anyone here installed undercar lighting? how difficult was it? what size tubes did you use? was it worth it? how does it look?

A few questions...

thanks

Ive never done this but I really want to.I have seen them in action at car shows at night and they look killer,I mean SWEET!!!
They cant be very hard to install even if you were to use those nylon pull ties to attach them to the frame...and they are very strong...and then a little wiring to a switch and a power feed.Around here (Michigan) you must be parked to use them(I think)check your local laws first,in fact I going to check here too.Good luck...

Difficult Not Very at All ..I Had Them Screwed Into My Gt Ground Fx First ..

Did Not Like That At All You Could See To much Of The Bulb
So After That Failed I attached them To My Coolant Lines Right By The rocker Panels

The Size I Think Id Would Have To Check To Be Sure Was 48 Inch On The Side And 24 Inch On The Back And Front

Was It Worth It I like Em And So Do Alot Of Others

Does It Look Good You Tell Me lol Check The Sig

As long as you cant see the tubes after you have installed them then its cool. Your supposed to see the glow, not the tubes. Looks UBERTACKY!

I've always had trouble mounting undercarriage lights because of the flat surface of the underside of the Fiero.

The front light is extremely easy to mount, but the sides and rear are a pain.
ZeroC, do you have any pictures or info on how you mounted a bulb in the back? I'd like to get some more ideas also!

How about along side each side of the gas tank? Maybe with some reflector above. Would that be too far under for good effect?

nope, it'd just be more subtle. that's what I am going to do.

I have them on my 86GT. I don't think I have seen anyone else install the sides the same way I did.
As you guys mentioned above, it looks great as long as you don't see the tubes. Do get the proper effect takes a little extra work but it is well worth it.
I started by removing the lower ground effects. I then cut out a strip of the plastic facing the bottom. It was about 3"x48".
I then covered the hole with a strip of 3/8" plexiglass and riveted it in. Do keep out the water and dust I used a small bead of silicon around the edges. I then mounted the tube (48") on top of the plexiglass with the supplied clamps. Once the ground effects are installed back on the car the only thing you can see is the glow from the lights.
Hope that makes sense
If anyone has any questions let me know. I can see if I can get under the car to take some pictures.

I have a set on my car. It was an easy install. They are the Streetglows Gold Series with a lifetime warranty. I like to use them at evening cruise-ins so I think it is worth it. You can judge for yourself how it looks.

If your going to buy underbody lights, you might want to consider using LED's instead of neon. With the Fiero being so low, they are more likely to break a bulb. LED's are almost indistructable. I used to sell the neon's, and they were returned all of the time broken, but LED's hardly ever came back. They are about the same price as neon also. Just thought I would suggest that.
