Neon Wiring OH NO!

Alright, Myself and a friend are trying to stick interior neons into my cheap 98 cavalier. So far I have two Redline Ultra Bright 9" Neons and they are a little different than what I've seen. Come with a Neon tube, and an interface box that is sound sensitive and turns them on and off. I read in a Mazda AND Saturn page that I should be able to take one wire from the neon and plug it straight into a fuse, and use the other wire as a ground. Those didn't involve the little boxes that came with mine though. So I have tried plugging the wires into several fuses and can't seem to get any power from the fuses. Also, I can't light up the light, without power first going into the box. This is so frustrating and I really don't want to have four huge cigarette adapters poking uot from my dash...thanks for any help you can provide!

Alright go ahead and delete this thread cuz I got it under control

how
????

yea dude teach us lol...

just direct wire them. The wire with the white dash or the one that goes to the side prongs is the ground, bolt it down to some metal on the car and then take the positive one and put it on a switch and then run a power wire from that.

i probably won't run a fuse anyway.

Lol i thought this thread being about dodges electronics/wiring.. LOLhahah shit i was thinking the exact same thing when i first looked at the title. im like what the hell is this doing in a cavalier forum. :screwy: haha

neon's will probably never mess up. if they do they are so simply put together that they will just blow the bulb

i never put a fuse on my neons. and i've had them in three cars already. nothing has happend to them so far.

Lucky you! I had them in my old car without a fuse, and it burned the power wire and luckily didn't set my car on fire. It did melt the rubber molding near near the door though.

It did melt the rubber molding near near the door though.i use a thicker gauge wire than what it comes with. i think i use like 16g i believe. just run it straight to the battery then to a toggle switch. never had a problem yet. knock on wood :lol:

Yeah I didn't use a thicker guage wire. I did the same though, from the battery to a toggle switch. Oh well, I don't own the car anymore, so I could care less lol. Only thing is the people that bought it were stupid and took one of the neons out of the inside and mounted on the front bumper. It looked stupid, not to mention it was red....major no no!

neon's will probably never mess up.

Be careful what u say! U will get little 16 year old neon lovers mis-quoting you lol...:lol:
