Do you want them to be one all the time, through a switch, or just when you turn your headlights on or something?

Well, I see it like this. You can either put them in your car, and end up lookng like a pimp, or you can just toss them, and keep you car looking good.

I worked a little bit with this stuff, so I think i can help you out. this simplest way that i can put it is that you will need a switch, (3 prong switch is good), some good wire, and a brain. the prong on your switch that says PWR or BTRY, will connect to a consant power source, such as a 12V on your consol or straight to the battery (if you are connecting straight to the batter, you will need to put an inline fuse in that wire.) The second prong should says something like ACC, this is where you hook up your neons to. The third prong is the GRD, which will connect to any bare piece of metal on your car. Remember to ground the switch and the neons to a different places. This should give you some idea. email me or reply if you need more help. peace :smoka:

Hey if you want a cool look, go for LED lights they last way longer than neon, and they emit a higher density light. I have a blue LED light under each seat in my car and it adds personality to your cars interior.

Neons dont get hot, and LED do I think, so I dunno if thats to any danger to putting it under the seat. I also dont know how much LED cost, but you can get a neon license plate frame to put under the seat for about $13 on a website I know. They are one of the best neons around. Email me if you need more info. Peace

LED's don't get hot. LED's are the same thing that lights up the Num Lock Light, or the blinking light for a Alarm System.

I would say that u should follow the directions that came with them. if none came with the lights then use common sense..double stick tape..small screws etc...

I definatly want to put neons in my car....primarily under the dash so it would light the area where that legs are....but I dont have a hole in my fire wall where I can run all the wires through, and I dont really want to drill my car. So I dunno what im gonna do

I'm no expert at this but here's my idea. How about running the wires from under the dash inconspicuously along the bottom corners of the leg space toward the door. You might be able to then run them behind the front fender and up into the engine compartment. The weatherstripping would not pinch the wires hard and since the small gap from the wires is near the floor, no water can drip in. Another thought, is that you may be able to wire the lights to the cigarette lighter from behind or under the dash. A switch could be installed in either setup to turn them on and off. |

Ok i know how to hook up strobes and everything and how to connect it to the switchs but how do you find a power wire without hooking it up directly to your battery? Is there some place that you can hook any kind of power wires to under the dash or whatever?
thanx lataZ

I think you should be able to get battery power by tapping into the appropriate fuse holder on the battery side of the fuse. You could then put your own fuse into the line and use that to power anything directly off the battery.
At K-mart I saw some fuse holders that did this exact thing. They plugged into an existing fuse holder and had a spot for the fuse in the original circuit. From one side of this new fuse holder, a wire came off which had another fuse holder in it. This was an easy way to add a new fused circuit without having to tear into any electronics under the dash. It looked simple yet effective. |
