any idea on my question?

Ok here is how i did it on my car. I will try to explain in the easiest terms i can. go to home depot or some similar home improvement store and look for a power distribution block like this one:



Then run one wire attached directly to the battery to a switch inside of your car. I put my switches here:



Run another wire from the other pole on the switch to one end of the distribution block. then make "jumper cables" to go from the first screw (where you connected the wire from the switch) to the next screw..etc. like in the picture (the red wires). Now all of those screws on the opposite side of the block are live. So, just cut off the cigarette lighter plug attached to the neon, strip down the wire and connect the positive to one of the open screws on the distribution block. This way all of your neons hooked up to that block will turn on at the same time and you will be able to have them on without your car running because it has a hard line right to the battery.

You can also do a similar setup for the ground but just bypass the switch part. Just connect the wire to a ground and then jump off of that along the block. And once you do this your neons should glow like this:



Any questions PM me or post on here and i will try and help.
