RGB Cars?... Almost, McLarens new 'sensation' making lights

[konradt]

Ok, so we all know everything is getting the RGB treatment, from mice to mousemats to PC's and now.... Cars. McLaren will include a 'lightning' system for the engine bay in their latest and upcoming car. While not strictly RGB, it is the first manufacturer to use this sort of lighting (to my knowledge) to this effect.

'Sense of occasion (or posing, if you prefer) has been taken into consideration too, with red ambient lighting illuminating the engine bay when the driver unlocks the car. ' is what TopGear have to say about it. Lighting has been used in cars for years for puddle illumination when exiting and entering cars, and yes people do put 'neons' in cars but this is a now a manufacturer installed feature. Lights inside the car, for the most part, serve a purpose, while this is very much like us putting lights into our PC cases... to show off whats inside

 

Is this a sign of things to come? Will we see more manufactures follow suit?

RGB underglow and maybe we have a deal.

That would be amazing, when can I get RGB milk?

[Techicolors]

looks like neon lights have evolved into this new form of car lighting..

It exists.  A friend of mine put some on his Mazdaspeed 3 just to mess with people.

Lol not vanilla LED strips. I've seen a couple civics do it in my area and it didn't look right.

 

I meant LED bulbs the size of headlights underneath the car. Aligned neatly in a row on all four sides

And here I thought the whole ricers and tuners thing was over in the early 2000s.

Same here! but someone asked me, will we in ten years time look at the rocket bunny the same way we now look at NFS:U era 'ricers' today?

It's RGB LED underglow.  Car is actually stupidly fast.

Only ricers use neon and RGB lights on their cars.

[Doobeedoo]

How is this new though.

It's amusing, gets a reaction out of people (i.e. getting called a ricer), doesn't weigh much of anything, is easy to install, and cheap enough to ironically do for laughs.

Except when you realise that you need to ruin your favorite ride to get those extra star points. Also, I really hated those spiny rims.

Nah the mods were okay though. I didn't particularly care about the style points right after I unlocked all the mags and mods.

I worked in a factory and we made accent lighting modules for ford cars that were RGB. Those products were 5+ years old.
