which is better streetglow, varad, etc.? i am looking at a varad kit right now but open to suggestions
 
Never heard anything about varad, but i do know that streetglow stuff kicks arse. STreetglow has a limited lifetime warranty, which includes everything but exterior tube breakage; I'm not sure what sort of warranty varad has. Streetglow also uses really bright neon/LED's and i know thier construction is great.
 
I have the streetglow OptX LED kit. It's cool to have on a show car. It looked awesome at HIN. I have seen color changing LED kits on everything tho. Most people leave the tubes low. My car is low, and I have a kit, so I couldn't aim the tubes outward like people say to do. It still lights up the street pretty bright under the car. I just hate when you can see the tubes, so I tucked everything up under the car. If it's off, you wouldn't know it was on my car. It does a lot of stuff, it's bright, and it's simple to use. Wasn't too expensive. I paid $170 for it. :thumb:

If it helps you can move your tubes farther in towards the center of your car instead of right against the "ridges" on the sides. Then you have the ability to turn the tubes outward which is needed to look decent. Supposedly optix is a great kit though.
 
Ive got the OPTX multicolor LED kit, a lil pricey unless you can find a hook up. Take a look at my webpage and there is a pic of it on there, mind you in the pic there are lights on in the shop so the brightness doesnt really give it justice and they are yet to be postioned correctly on the sides as well. Driving at night when positioned correctly, i can see my glow on the other side of the road. PM me if ya got any questions.
 
I've had both street glows kits, a blue kit on my truck and a white kit on my talon, then I've had Varads green led kit on my eclipse but like 2 months ago I sold them to get varads 1000 color kit, it looks really good and alot like neons. with the green kit you could see dead spots and kinda rounded at then ends cause of the leds but they switched to square leds with this new kit and it got rid of all that. all the 7 color led kits just change from color to color but with varads kit it fades from c 2 c. plus alot more options. I'd stay away from lite glow or any others cause varad is the best when it come to leds ( besides Ozniums 2 million color kit) but then I preffer street glow when it come to neons.
 
I have a Lite Glow LED underglow on mine. When it comes to LED, Lite Glow is one of the best, if not the best. It has 10 different glowing patterns which can look pretty cool at times. If you want neon then I won't say anything bad about Street Glow, they're great. But for LED I say Lite Glow all the way.

NO.

Thats like saying walmart sells the best mens suits,,
it just isnt true.

im not really into lighting anymore but go to oznium.com forums for some good advice.

AS it stands, from what ive seen personally and others, not really subjunctive since many kits have been tested side by side.

iceled- best but very $$$$
blazelighting kit- newcomer but great kit,,better then optix and plasmaglow
optix- great led kit
plasmaglow- the first but not as good as optix, blaze kit.
Not sure about varads.
other stuff,, not worth your time
 
Yeah, stay away from LiteGlow.

I had them on my GS for 8 months without any problems, but a friend of mine that installed them the same day had problems with his. One of his bulbs dulled real bad in a week (kind of like a flouresent light that isnt working right) and LiteGlo wouldnt do anything about it.

I ended up breaking one of my bulbs when I took them off too. I think 2 of them had condensation in them too.

Ive since decided its a waste of money if the car is not a show car. I think I used them maybe 4 times here. But they do look sweet.
 
Wow, never heard any horror stories about Lite Glow but I have yet to have any problems with mine. At least I got a heads up from you guys. I got a good deal on it anyways, but as of right now I like it. If something happens in the future, oh well, I'll move on to a different brand I suppose. Hell, it's just underglow.
