Glow effect when hovering over icons

Question

Glow effect when hovering over icons

How can I make a neon hover effect on social network icons?

I already tried box-shadow: 0 0 20px #......;, when hovering over it, a neon square is created, and I need the icon itself to glow, not the area around it.

Since Font Awesome are font icons, therefore, they should not be applied to box-shadow, a text-shadow.

@import url('https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.5.0/css/all.css');

body {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  background: #111;
}

.icon-hover-neon > i {
  font-size: calc(50vw / 3);
  color: #fff;
}

.icon-hover-neon > i:not(:last-child) {
  margin-right: 5vw;
}

.icon-hover-neon > i:hover {
  text-shadow:
    0 0 2vw rgba(255,255,255,.5),
    0 0 5vw #09f;
}

<div class="icon-hover-neon">
  <i class="fab fa-vk"></i>
  <i class="fab fa-facebook-square"></i>
  <i class="fab fa-instagram"></i>
</div>
