Hi my name is maxim, i own a 95 z28 camaro.
i would like to know how to wire some incar neons to the battery instead of going through the cigerrette lighter outlet.
how would i do this and if i cant then how many neons can a cigerrette lighter outlet handle.
P.S. please no bashing and only helpful info is wanted. thank you very much

lets see yougot postive and negative terminals cant really explan two wires. ps dont do it.



ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nnnnnoooooooooooooooooooo captain i cant see .

wait scotty i have theses sepecial lights in my car(flips switch)

geeeeeeeeeez batman those are pretty green and purple lights you have.
Scotty: I have a light to its called a dome light.

batman: these are special they make your camaro look like a speeding rice burner from mexico.

 

Try the appearance forum, there will be more info there. This forum is really more for engine related questions.

 

Ding, Ding, Ding..... Worst newb mistake ever is posting in the wrong forum on like your first question. We aren't too bad about bashing, unless we sense that you are a total moron.

Anyway, with your problem... You simply need to run your negative wire to the battery or to any bolt that is grounded on your car (any bolt! doesn't matter) Then run your positive wire to a switch mounted in your car. Then from the switch directly to your battery's positive terminal. Its really quite a trivial procedure. Just use heavy enough gauge wire. Good Luck!

Edit: Another option to save your battery is to run the positive wire to a switched source. (i.e. radio fuse) so that when you turn your car off your lights will go off as well. Just so you don't accidentally leave it on and kill your battery.


O yea and personal opinion (which is mine alone) Neons look like *** on Camaros when not tastefully done. If you use a normal color such as Red or Orange or maybe... Yellow, then that will be good, but go purple and green and you should be shot!

 

Neon lights aren't rice...they were in hot rods and Lowricers before Honda even saw a glow tube! REmmebr? half the Rice trends started on hotrides...suicide doors...shaved handles... Molded kits...neon trims...chameleon paint ETC ETC. It's just a rip off trend...but... If you want to wire up neon lights it's simple...Just run the connect the Black wires to gether and run them to a ground some where onthe chassy run the hot red wire to a switch and run that wire from the swith to the battery..make sure to run like a 15amp fuse along the red "hot" line too...vwala! you now have working interior neons.

 

Bad time for a typo....

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit...

 

Hmm.. I tried this once. I ran them directly to the battery, but the lights did not work.
Apparently there is a small transformer in the "cigarette adapter" part of the light... if that's the case with yours then running the wires directly won't work.

 

thanks heaps everyone, i jus started to freak that noone would help me after the first or second bashful comment, but in this site i trust someone will help, long live camaroz28.com

 

please dont

 

Yea, well, there's always that 10% of people that think, "Hey someone else that may not know as much as me, so why not bash him to make myself feel better." You just have to ignore those people.

Let us know how it goes. Maybe post some pics if you can. But make sure that they are in the Apperance forum....

 

i dunno about ya'll, but on my 95 z28 has horrible interior lighting. i've contemplated putting white neons or cold cathode tubes under the seats wired up so they go on whenever the dome light comes on.
