Interior neon lights

[Koojo]

Yes should directly come from the battery. Put an inline fuse into that power wire just to be extra safe.

yea ok thanx ill do that. but i was wondering the lights are supose to connect to headlights because when the headlights turn on the washers turn on, if u connect it directly to the battery it wont work with the headlights it works independently

Ya you can connect it to the headlights. I recommend putting a switch in though so you can turn the washers on or off if you don't want them on all the time.

I would recommend hooking those windshield washer neon things up to a switch... say a cop pulls you over for something else, you can just hit the switch and not have to turn your headlights off... hooking them up to the headlights is way more convenient but since the windshield washer neons are semi illegal in some areas I'd play it safe. Having them hooked up to your headlights, as well as a kill switch would be ideal!

As for the firewall, I was having the same problem in my 1991 Nissan pickup... I started hunting around and below my glove box, kind of where the passenger's feet would be, there's a little rubber plug the size of a quarter, leading to the engine compartment! I poked a tiny hole in there with a screwdriver, pushed a few wires through and that worked. The wires are so tight in the hole of the plug that no water or engine smell or whatever will get through. You could even take a spot of hot glue or something to be watertight.

I'm interested in putting Hottwirez in my car but am not sure of the most efficient method.

I don't have money growing from trees so I'll only put 5 sets of neons in -- one on the dash and one on each of my four doors. Unfortunately, Hottwirez aren't the cheapest or convenient things in the world. Since they come in 15' at the most and (from what I'm told) I'm only allowed to make one cut on each line of neon I buy, I wondered if I could put just one 15' neon around the piece on the front door as well as the back door, hiding the neons in between in my door panels/carpeting. Is this even possible or am I wasting my time?

If that WORKS, I probably won't have enough neon to wire all the way to my power source/power switch. Is it possible to make an extension of just electrical wires to the power source to make up for the lack of neon? Or do the Hottwirez have to directly connect to the power source?

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

What are those neon light wire things anyways? Do they come with a neg and pos wire to hook up to your battery or do they have a cig lighter plug?

http://www.streetglow.com has some pictures.

Those are pretty cool... it says you can trim to any size... can you really do that or does it break the connection

[u c p]

I think you can trim to any size, but you can't use the excess after your cut.

[Johannes]

Oh okay that makes sense... guess you can't cut it into bits and have all the pieces light up heh

[Johannes]

Hey does anybody know where how can get or how you can make the flashing red LED's for an alarm... are those just wired off the battery or what?

There is a much easier way lighting the under-part of the dash. They sell colored bulbs that cost about $3 and take 2 seconds to pull out the old bulbs which you should have and stick these in. I bought mine at Wal-mart, along with the green dome, ropes, and the green door-panel lense at most truck stops or something. All take no time to hook, and little or no wiring.

Cant you run the power supply from the Cd Players supply then to the switch? Im pretty sure there is always juice going to the CD Player cause when I tried running my amp wire to it, it always turned the amp on even with the car turned off. I think that would work.

Does anybody know how I can customize my 88 acura legend? I'm trying to figure out what performance parts I can add to it or any ways I could change the interior. I'm trying to take the leather seats of the back and add new ones, and also put racing seats, but I don't think they have mounts for this model. also I'm trying to figure how I can put a better looking bodykit, cause they have very, very, very few for a model that old

PLEASE HEEEEEEELP!!!!
