if your after bright light go for cold cathode lights more designed for the PC cases. these will however be more fragile than normal neons i used to have some and they were very bright but broke by leaning on them. look on ebuyer think they used to go for a couple of quid for a pair of 12"

otherwise go go LED tubes these are both brighter and more duarble than neons but cost more

note non legal lights ( anything other than white at thefront amber at the sides and red at the rear ) can only be used off road - parked up doesnt count - while the light, including glow, is visable even from the footwell

There is no legislation that refers to auxilliary lighting. Within the passenger compartment you can light and iiluminate exactly as you please.

A glow [that is] visible to the outside of the vehicle is not sufficient for the authorities to secure a prosecution.

But you will still get pulled for having neons in the footwell. The same as if you drove down the road at night with the interior light on.

In my last car I had blue led spot lights in the foot wells wired in with the courtesy light so they came on when the door was opened. never had any problems.

Here's a good place to get your neons from,
