power source for interior lights

[mastr/of/pupets]

Can anyone out there tell me where I can plug my pos. wires from some interior neon lights to a power supply in a 98 Civic EX? The neon bars are under the driver and passenger dash. I heard I need to route power from the fuse box under the dash, is this true?

You can do it that way. A lot of people will take the positive wire and wrap it around say the headlight fuse or something so when you turn on your headlights they'll be on. What I did though was to run the positive wire from the battery to a switch so they could be turned on whenever I wanted them to. Also if you do that a good idea is to run the wire through an empty fuse space in the fuse box so you wont blow your neons. There are a lot of different ways you could do it though.

There are many ways to do it, you can use practically any power source in your vehicle. My suggestion would be to put them on a switch so you can turn them on and off as you please.

And those people are what us professionals call "fucking ghetto". Im gonna let you kids in on some info, most civics have terminals in the fuse box that are there for factory accesories to be plugged into. In your 98 civic ex, you can find illumination, ignition and constant power at these male terminal blades.... DONT BE GHETTO!
