Interior Neons

Post by TitanMX »

I've been looking around at neons on the market and most of them connect to th cigarette lighter. I was wondering if there is any other way of plugging them in because it des look very good when you have like a 3 lighter spitter hanging down into your ashtray just to power the neons.

Yeah, there is a way to wire them up. I did the same thing with mine. I got a blue neon rod hooked up right behind the rear at the top. You can get the cig lighter part off and wire the red and black to a 12 volt power source. Go buy a switch from Home Depot and install it in there as well if you want, or pay $60 at Hi Fi Buys and they'll put it in for you.

Can you still use the cigarette lighter, and if you can't does anyone know how to do both?

nice tutorial. anyone know how i can hook up two neon tubes to the dome light in the trunk? i know the dome in the interior and dome in the trunk are both different...so if i cut off the stock dome light, how can i hook up the two neons to that? or can i only use one tube?
