I vote NEITHER!! Neons are finicky to changes in temperature and prone to blowing.
Get an LED kit. You can shift the lights to whatever you want, whenever you want.

You would have to install them better than the person in this video did.
I HAD this kit on my Cadillac. Looked great.
If you tuck the tubes high and more toward the center of the car and aim them to the ground below the door, it looks great. Some people aim them straight down at the rocker panel and this is wrong. If you mount them a foot or so from the edge of the car, you have less of a risk of debris destroying them or caking them. Also, it produces more of a PILLOW of light effect, versus the gaudy Lego block effect you see on morons cars.
With the Optx kit, you can change the colors, dim them, brighten them, have them flash, chase, marquis, strobe, flash to music bass, and alternate between colors.
