Dodgy footwell neons

[Trickett]

Bought some footwell neons last week and fitted them. They broke after about 20 mins. :( Checked all connections and everything couldnt find a problem. I think the inverter went because it was quite hot when the neons went off.

The neons were the ones off the tutorial: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=15241927680&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=51686

Anyone had the same problem with these?

Anyone recommend any better quality ones?

Cheers

maybe you snapped them. neons have a long lifetime, so they should last ages aslong as you dont bang them

they are still working with me, like a year.

maybe you had a dodgy set

Yep, footwell neons are very dodgy. ;)

Nope dont think it was the achual neons them shelf, I think it was just the inverter that broke. Proberly just a dodgy set.
