well... first a HUGE thanx goes 2 tony for helping me with my wiring problems all day
i got my 6" neons all hooked up today in my car, started around 12 i think and finished it around 2:30
its not 100% because my consoles not finished, once thats done then i can attach em

now for some pics lol
first the supplies (didnt need the black wire so i'm gettin a refund ) lol
got the neons and a toggle switch for em

the toggle switch in the dash

and the lights all lit (its REALLY sunny right now so i'll try and take a pic later tonight)

and now 4 pics of my car lol

Hide those wires damn it They are baby neons

[Stali08]

looks pretty good. i have red neons in my car under the dash with the cig ligther adapter thing. no toggle switch here

[Tony]

dude its easy to hook a switch up to it, mine that i used to have were the cig lighter ones, needless to say, they never touched that cig lighter, they got a damn switch, if you need any help just IM me on AIM

mine had the cig lighter but the asshole that had the car b4 me clipped the connection so it'll never work again prolly
so i cut and did the toggle idea!

[Stali08]

How hard was it to do the toggle switch, and the wiring?

[1PhatCX]

not too hard once i knew what i was doing and once tony told me what 2 do lol
connect postive from the fuse box to the toggle, then another postive from the other tab on the toggle 2 the neons wire. then just connect the ground from the neons somewhere and ur done lol

oh yea!
make sure u have the right fuse in there
i hooked mine upto the sunroof fuse (even tho i dont have a sunroof) lol
it uses a 30 amp fuse and i dont think it'll blow for a long time... unless u short the wires like i did the first try lol

[Tony]

Yea, I think I ran a 15 amp fuse for mine when I had them. Pretty much all you have to do is find an empty spot on your fuse box, if there is one with power running to it, if not try to pick one that only gets power when the key is on accessories, like the radio or something. Then just run a power wire from it to your switch, then run another power wire from your switch to your neon. Then just find a ground for your neon and your done. If you have any other questions just ask

[Stali08]

okay cool, ill add that to my other list of mods that i wanna do to my car

[1PhatCX]

just quickly wipped this up
might serve as a good guidline 2 go with

[Tony]

yep just like that, and if your neons don't have a control box, just by pass that and hook everything up like it says

[95civicman]

shouldn't you try to hide the neons, acually seein the tubes looks tacky IMO.

[90civicrider]

I hooked mine to a constant 12v then to a fuse, then into a relay hooked to a toggle switch. This way you have absolutly no chance of frieing your wires, or the neon tubes.

I have the 2 12" tubes under the dash, and let me tell you it was a hell of a task to shove those bad boys up there. I'll take some pics when i get home from work.

[Tony]

well see, that is what the fuse box is for, it will still act like a normal fuse. If you wanted to do it right, and you had other things that you would like to be on a fuse, you can buy little 5 slot fuse boxes that you can mount anywhere, I had one in my glove box. I would recommend doing that if you could, but also this way does no harm.

Whoa.. Hold up. How's your console controls on the bottom instead of on top? I wanna move my cd player up top!
