Question Neon Light Kits

Hello guys new question! So I am looking at getting some of the mini plasma neon light tubes in a blue color to light up a gage thats on the bottom of dash. The gage it self don't have power or a internal light but i would like to be able to read it at night and installing one of the smaller neon tubes just above it would be ideal. I was wondering how bright these things are and would it be bright enough to see the gage.

DodgeCowboy,

No flame intended, but I must be quite honest. Just get yourself a guage with proper backlighting. No extra wires to run, and for the sake of, if you are a real country boy, putting neon into your truck will make your horse start looking like a yuppy / rice burner mobile.

Sorry, I'm redneck to the bone - just my impression.

No hard feelings.

Man guys LOL for whats thats worth there not the neon lights there a three light led light. its not like this thing is going to be lit up like john travolta on Saturday night fever dance floor I would get a gage with power to it but I would rather not have a fuel pressure gage have power to it. Its just me probably being overly paranoid but oh well.
