Glowing everywhere under the car is what in ur perspective of being not ah beng? then i would suggest u mount the light at place where not obstructive object around the lights.

Neon light is not cheap. If u want it flow at everywhere, might need RM300 for the light, totally 4 long tubes i think. I saw the neon light in brothers but not sure of the color. Most possibly blue color only.

DIY, what u need to do is tap electric source to light, wiring, mounting, on/off switch, fuis. The process is subjective, depend on how u want to do it.

I never went to eunos before...brothers sell for 70-80 like that, if not mistaken...the tube is damn long..around 4 feets.. which i think quite reasonable.

i myself use fluorescent tube, damn a lot cheaper :D

use flourescent tubes lar.... just mount them properly.. then ok.. make sure u have some big skirtings to hide them....

check this out.. my car... but not big big skirtings lar... :D

CCFL... ? Mostly used for computers... They are not very bright though... And certainly not water proof..

You need to build some kind of protection container for them... Or you certainly don't want 500Volts of AC electricity to short your car... :D
