Line Gradients on Apple.com

Hello,

I'm trying to create a vector based line similar to those on Apple.com where a radial gradient cuts beneath a solid line.

I've tried a radial gradient in Illustrator (CS6) with another line placed on top, but it just doesn't look very good - there's no depth to it.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Thanks for your reply.

I really need to keep this vector based and so I can't use PS.

Very close! I think all that needs changing is the darkness by 10% and a very thin line placed directly on top.

Please share how you did it

Would a drop shadow in Illustrator work?

Nope because it is radial and not all the way along the line. It is also a gradient.

That looks very good!

How did you create the outer glow if there is no colour on the fill or stroke? Would you mind uploading the file please?

Thanks for your help
