Interior Neons
Interior Neons
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.
Re: Interior 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.
Re: Interior Neons
Its installed at the rear seats, forgot to add seats in the last post. My bad =)
Re: Interior Neons
Can you still use the cigarette lighter, and if you can't does anyone know how to do both?

Re: Interior Neons
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?
