I had a set of underglows that had a very bad misfortune that was partially my fault (I was driving onto a rack and ripped them off
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
).
So I saw these were real cheap... anyone know much about them? I don't think there should be a problem with them since well... they are only lights.. but yeah.. just wondering about them.
Thanks everyone!

I'm thinking since those are so cheap, the plexi cover is probably weak and will probably crack.

Try looking for underglow's made from tough material like Lexan so they dont break when going over things or rocks breaking it.

Lol, you don't use them as rock sliders, lol.
I've had Eurolites, and besides cracking one tube driving over a large chunk of ice, they've handled everything I've thrown the car at.

thanks for the responses!
Still undecided if I should get them.. the cost is.. nice.. but like you all said, the Plexi is probably weak and easily cracked, which i don't want..
and haha i'm noticing.. there is a lot of talk about Lexan lately on the forums..

Don't listen to them, underglows can look good. I really like mine
As for the ones your looking at, honestly, there's $14. Do you really expect them to be good? They'll probably be cheap in built quality, electronics, or both. And for $14, it's worth a shot and throwing out. I think i got my Eurolites off of eBay for $99 a few years ago.
In the end, you always get what you pay for.

cold cathodes are very durable and much easier to conceal... i dont know if you've seen the cars with under glow that sticks out and you can see the tube.... looks like sh*t.... and cold cathodes are much cheaper
