Interior Neons, Help needed! Options

[danny_t82]

I have 8 small blue neons which I am planning on fixing in the footwells and door pockets. I have run a cable with an inline fuse holder (10A) to a switch in my glove box. When I tested these with one of the neons I blew the fuse. I am rubbish at electronics and am hoping someone can tell me how to get this right! PLEASE!!! When I wired all 8 thru the cigarette lighter they were all pretty dim hence I went for the battery direct method.

Somebody save me before I blow a fuse!!

I just finally got around to wiring my neons properly (Not just on a 2 way adapter in the cigi lighter). I was worried about it but in the end it was real easy and worked first time. here is what I did. I didnt want to splice into the power for the cigi lighter so I ran a pwoer line from the Battery, I also used the crimp clips as well, so It would all be done properly, anyways here is what I did

I went and got some 10Amp wire (roll or red and one of black)and a 10 amp fuse , also bought a pack of wire crimp clips, a test pencil and the wire cutting/crimp tool. Also have 2 blue neons, and a normal-non lighted swtich.

Ok so first I run a wire from the battery to a inline fuse(10amp), close to the battery, then contunie the wire through the firewall down to the on side of the switch. Then, cause I found it eaiser, I ran a black wire (ground) from the engine bay ground, through the firewall to under the dash. Now get your neons, and find the positive side (probably red) and then splice the 2 red wires from each neon together and run that to the other side of the switch. then join the 2 black wires from the neons to the black ground wire and join them together.Then switch them on and it should work.

If it done make sence I can try walking you through it with MSN or something. Hope this helps
