How to hook up multi neons from 1 switch.

If you click in my gallery there is a little diagram that should help. there should be a hole in the firewall already where you could run the power wire.

Probly a little advanced though I could give you more detailes if you are interested....O and just run power supply from battery but put a fuse somewhere 18 inches from there...then just use this as power line its much easier.

I'm new at this, but i read the ideas yesterday and hooked my neons up through the wire for the headlights but in the center console next to the cig lighter, my question is how would u hook the neons up to the stereo? do you need anything for it?

I think there is a kit at Best Buy that has neons for the stereo. like then the bass hits the neon gets brighter. I know there is one for when you rev your engine it gets brighter

I got a setup from wal mart. there was a neon controller for 18$, which they sometimes sell for 9$ It plugs into a cigarette lighter, and then you can plug 2 neons into it, and theres also a wire terminal so you can cut off the neons lighter adapter and hardwire it to the controller. That controller also has a sensitivity knob that lets you control how hard of bass you want the lights to beat to. It works VERY well. I also hooked up a blue rope light around my interior. The rope light and the controller were hooked up to a 3 outlet adapter with a switch and I just used that switch to turn everything on and off. If you want to get advanced you can hook all that up, then try to cut and find different power sources, hide/relocate.. all that jazz, but after you mess with the plug in things for a while you'll begin to understand how to use them better, and you will get better ideas. I recommend that you dont cut all kinds of stuff when you first set it up. You will change it around eventually and you will be glad you took my advice.

The rope light in your interior... how long is it and where did you put it? I've thought about getting it but I don't know if I could make it look good.

it was 8 feet, and it was like, 9 bucks if I remember correctly, and I think I do. I had lined it around my center console and then up under the dash so that it lit up my feet and the passengers feet with a nice blue glow. It comes with clips that you can put into the carpet if you just slice a small slit in it. You can slide the clip in there and that keeps the rope in place. Mine came out so well I helped my friend do his accord with them. We put them around the front floor, lined the kick panels, lined the shifter, and we also put one around his backseat. Just make sure to take the time lay out the rope how you want it, figure out where you will need clips, and use a razor blade to cut the carpet. Its kinda tough because sometimes the clip will slip out and then you cant find the cut, so you have to have patience but if you want it to look good, then you shouldnt be to worried about the time. Ive seen a lot of cheesy set ups but I got a lot of compliments on mine because I wasnt afraid to take the time to make it look good. And my friend got a lot of compliments too. But I should tell you, the rope light wont beat with the bass. Its not meant for that quick of a power surge, it will just not turn on if you hook it to the bass controller.

The EASIEST way to do this is to get like an 12 or 8 guage cable and run if from your battery through the firewall.

Run this cable from the battery to under the centre console.

Send this power cable into the switch and then run the neons off that switch. Make sure that they are all earthed well and you can pop the switch upside down out the side of the console onto the car carpet so you just lean down and flip it.

Still stuck, ask more questions
