Yeah, sigh, looking close I don't see tubes connecting the letters. Usually even if they aren't cursively connected the tube still is just painted black on that part. I got overexcited because I like the 4th state of matter. It's still a cool sign though. I have alien one that's also a 'fake' LED 'neon' sign. Someday I'll get myself a real neon sign. I do have a USB plasma globe (like science museum style).

Yea, no tubes, just a tiny wire going from light to light hidden in the plastic.

Mine has a remote where you can change it's color, brightness and create some interesting blinking patterns.

Yeah it changes the theme on the dash. The go kart mode also makes the shifts more aggressive.

Does this have any spiritual meaning? It's my 2000 4 Runner on 1/9/26.

"Revolution 9" off the Beatles' double album comes to mind.
