Seems like I've seen them in here, no more than a time or two. Thinking I wouldn't like/want the wire to do anything but give juice to the plugs. If they take away anything from that, I wouldn't want them.. Just me.

If U want to light her up. why not go with some Led pods..
Seen more have them than the wires that light up.

I've never seen lit plug wires. i buddy of mine way back when had a set of clear plug wires on his mustang. at night you could see the spark/fire run through the wires. it looked pretty damm cool. they didn't last too long though, maybe a year and then they started arcing in damp weather. they were cool to space out on though at field partys. i wonder how much gas he burned just letting the car run for everyone to space out on. lol..

I've read past posts where they CAN NOT be used on newer bikes because of the ion sensing knock control that uses the plug wires as sensors, or something like that. Do a search for exact facts.
