Do what makes you happy. To me personally LED's, neons, NOS, are all things that belong on civics, integras, etc. I did all that back in the day with my prelude when I was 20 and if you like the look then go for it. As I get older it seems that the fastest way to make a nice "grown up" car look cheap in a second is carbon fiber hood, trunk, fenders, oversized spoiler, and neons, but like the previous guy said, "i'm an old guy".

IS350jonny, are you saying I should get four 4 foot bars for each side of the car? That seems like overkill.

It really depends on the rest of your car and how it's executed. If you're going for the "VIP Theme", I would go with 5 puddle lamps on each side, but only in white or blue. DO NOT USE THOSE LIGHT BARS !!!! ....and yes, there is a reason why I used caps. If in fact you are going with a VIP theme, I would also change the stance and the wheels, otherwise the lights could look a little "ricey".

Pricing can range from $100 to $300 per set.

its not the price of the kit, its the labor (quality) of the instal that makes it xpensive... AND~ there are tricks to installing, weather its the push up type or fabricate a mounting bracket (thingy) for each pod, how it was measured, solder or plastic push in type connections, loomed under the car or just hanging wires, in other words a 'pro' instal or half **** monkey job~

Not a big fan of neon lights and stuff like some people already said, but I'll admit there are times that it looks nice on certain cars and it's your car so it's your choice. If you like it then do it
