LED & Neon Installation Tips

I installed these bulbs on my 2018 Accord and everyone loves them. The Dominiks review basically covers everything about these lights, so I'm just leaving a few installation tips and things I found useful. 1. Take a length of fiber optic cable that is 6 inches or less and get into the habit of routing it around corners. Try different cuts for mounting tabs so the cable behaves the way you want for each bend you want to use this cable for, because yes the cable bends but when you figure it out with all the threading, that you want to use, there will be small cracks at the end, and when light hits that part of the cable, it will glow brighter than a uniform glow.2. When attaching the light head to the cord you will need to remove part of the attachment tab (I used a razor blade). Be careful because when you cut the round tube the light will pour out of the cut especially when you bend the cable if you make a cut and don't do it if you want extra bright light I have a mark along the notched part found it helps, this works for wire ends too, if you want the light to shine less just hold on to the marker until the desired light is reached. 3. The cable can be twisted 90 degrees or more, but cut the fixing tab in v to allow the cable to bend freely. The more aggressive the bend, the less light gets through, you may not notice a difference in lighting, but the longer the filament and the more bends it starts to disappear, you can put another LED head on the other side to solve this problem to solve. and always tighten. Unscrew it, this will help the light head not fall off over time due to vibration when driving. Good luck and have fun with your new lights!

Pros
  • Accent Neon Bulbs
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other options
