It's a good idea though, would come in handy if you stopped in a dark spot!

Someone (previous owners) fitted a 12v Fluoroscent tube on mine and it's crappy since it's a VAN and takes all types and sizes of cardboard boxes inside Might be changing them soon. have they a switch on board by any chance?

Aren't neons fragile-er than leds though?
