Pardon? What is it your asking? How to attach led tubes to the underside of your bike? If you explain in a bit more detail and more clearly, perhaps tell us what bike your on or photos of bike and equip,ent, we could give you some help.

Also expect to get slated by the anti chav/neon contingent lol.

I did that to my ped for a week or so a few years back, my advice = don't bother, looks truly gay. Thumbs Up you won't be seen better, just attractmore attention from police as it's practically illegal.

On a more helpful note (points taken)

I decided to rig my own kit up onto my bike just to make it more individual, it took a lot of testing to get sorted and generally attracts good comments from people who see it.

My advice on the technical side. You want to wire your lights into the ignition circuit so they can't be switched on when your not around (que flat battery).
So as to prevent overloading the ignition system you also want to include a relay to run the lights. you might want to include a fuse on your light circuit too incase a short happens for whatever reason and goes burning lots of wires. Thumbs Up

p.s. as said placing Neons on your bike will not make any difference to being knocked off or not, as said they will only give you more attention from passers by and no doubt the cops... your neons are legal provided they are not in direct sight Thumbs Up good luck

Those neons look actually quite nice, tasteful, not tacky. Just gives it a nice finish. Can you not waterproof them to an extent?

I added 4 red led's into my top box's reflective strip. 2 for rear light and 2 for stop. Just adds a bit of extra security if the main bulb ever blows. It was a simple case of just using a couple of scotchlocks onto the correct wires to the rear light.

If you actually want to get noticed, wear a reflective yellow jacket. Seemed to make a big difference commuting on the m4 at night in rush hour.

No, you may not look as 'cool' in your eyes, but you're less likely to end up under a car bumper.

When I had a ped, The thought of leds were cool

Untill the other day in fact, a ped went past with neon led thingys attached to his wheel. Not to the affect notcible, but to the affect of annoying and off putting for me and the OH driving.
