so i have some wal-mart 10" underdash blue neons..and when i have em plugged into the cig. lighter they are bright as hell and i love it....
but it looks gay so i obviously spliced the wires and ran a wire straight from the battery thru a 30amp fuse than to the switch and each neon is still getting the 12.4-12.7 volts but they are like 1/3rd the brightness...why is this?
i ran speaker wire fro 2 power lines, one power line is fro 2 10" neons, the other wire is for 2 strobes and glow pedals...gonna be rewiring and putting the switches in cubby hole, but was hoping someone could help me out with this underdash neon dilemma..
i want them to be BRIGHT i also have 2 9" that WERE under there but i took em out to replace with the 10" cuz they were to dim, but so are the 10" so im gonna put the 2 9" in the back seat somewhere and leave the 10" just wondering if anyone knew why they were so dim... any suggestions??

Cold Cathode Flourescent Lighting
It's cheaper and better than wal-marts!
get a relay and wire it in so that when the switch turns on the relay will turn on and all the neons should be bright. you should always use a relay when turning on multiple items (ie amps, neons, etc). they are getting the proper voltage but they are pulling to much current so a relay should fix that problem.
