OK Im sure that you all have seen the neon kits they have at walmart and autozone, they look cool, and are reasonably cheap. But I hate having wires running all over and into the cigarette lighter. Is there anyway I can hardwire the power source through the cigarette lighter, that way no wires will be showing

 

you can tap into any 12V source in your car.

 

yeah i ran a separate wire into the car from the battery thru the firewall .. i put an inline fuse in it just to be safe then cut the cigarett lighter adapter off of the neon connected the red or redstriped wire to the wire from teh battery and connected the negative wire to a ground ..there's plenty of space under the radio and dash to find a decent ground if i wouldnt have lost my digital camera i'd show you pics of my install

 

does anybody have any tips or things I should know before I try to do this myself? Cause I love the look of in car neons but dont like the cheesy wires running all over the inside

 

check out BOOYAH's car it a wiring marvel.

 

just tie it to your cig lighter under the dash, i have my radar dect., 12 LED's, and 3 neons. wired to the same source. plus im still able to plug in my 1,000,000 candle power spotlight and not have problems.

Hey I just got done installing mine, I ran it to a switch then to my audio amp in the trunk, easy and quick, now all I have to do is flip a switch to turn the lights on, and no wires to see, will submit pics later.

 

Here is a pic of my neon in stall, you can see where I place the switch candidly, No drilling was required, only used 2 sided tape and electrical tape.

 

Here are the neons at nite. The one on the pass side is temp till I find a good place for it.

 

Cool I like that idea, too bad I dont have an aftermarket system or a amp

 

Thanks for noticing. I ripped out the neon spots and other crap wayyyy back before CAL SLAM Stage I. Now it's just the four clip claps and one big neon on the center console over my head unit... Oh yeah, kill switch for when CHP run my plates @ night.

 

no prob the fist time i saw your int i was like damm surised he's not all caught up in the computer cell phone noens etc... wires i woulda beem haning in them

 

Hey about the neon connections, to minimize all the cigarette lighters into one source you can wire them together and hook it up to one cigarette lighter thingy, but you cant put too many on one lighter cuz the resistance is measured and can burn out often. i kept it to 3 per lighter. i have 6 neon lights, one radar detector all hooked up behind the cubby hole in my dash, it was a perfect place to put all the wiring.
