Thanks, I just need to figure out how to do the mirrors on the hatch.I dont have any good picks of a Hustler with them, its curved in the back.Thought about using 1/8-1/4 star board as a backing, dont know if it could be glued ,or if it will stick????

[QUOTE=Strip Poker 388;2684007]I am looking for some neon/led lights for my engine compartment. I did a search here and saw a few threads on it ,
but there's no definitive answer. Ive seen the Sunsation F4's they look like they have a bright kit in them.
One thread suggested Street Glow name brand.


Trying to decide on length and the led or neon in blue.Thanks for any suggestions:ernaehrung004:


Rob, I just bought a bunch of these for my truck and boat. They are LED's and Stobes in one. No Power supply box needed. These are the coolest lights they have ever come out with!

Looks good. How many colors can the kit generate?


.red is dark,blue.a blue/green,green,yellow,white,turquoise,coral, it does all that other crazy blinking stuff to.The kit was around 206.The controler box is pretty chep looking , but there all from overseas

Also the plastic tubes, it feels pretty tuff, I could bend it a little to get it under the transom inner lip.


Main thing for the mirrors is the day time,we very seldom are out at night,only one bar/restaurant on the lake, its 500 yards sfrom my slip:rolleyes:

Do you all think the mirror could be glued to star board and stay?

3M 5200 should do the trick.
