Re: wiring my neons

first off they are gonna flame you for putting neons in your car but who cars. anyway all you have to do is tap into the cigarette power wire and wire up a fuse and a switch and your pretty much done.

Re: wiring my neons

Neons? come on now.

anyway, if you want to hardwire them, you need a toggle switch also. Just cut the lighter plug off, pull the wires apart, strip them, and put one to the power plug in your fuse box, then run that cord to the toggle switch, and connect it back with the neon.

if you arent much of an electrition, its gonna be confusing, and i wouldnt reccomend you start playin with cars wiring.

Re: wiring my neons

What they are saying is forget going through your firewall. I assume you were gonna go to the battery. You don't need to, just tie in to the wire for the cig lighter. Then run it to the switch/fuse, then to the lights. That's it
