look at all those wires. What's the controller/switch thing for turning the neons on and off called?

I like your neon lighting. is that what you used for your red neons? It says headlight strobe control module, but I'm assuming you can some how wire the the wires to the control module. I'm just trying to make sure. Those control modules are expensive. This post has been edited by hioctane: Apr 19, 2004 - 12:12 AM |

Nono, the 2nd one.
and I got mine (that model) for 10 dollars. the 2nd one is what I used for my lighting, yeah. Going to be hooking it up to some neon string (only thing that will fit for back 'vert seats) this weekend. |

sorry to go back to my original question but umm.. okay i have the cig lighter, the switch and the neon/s. what wires go to what? as i said before im very n00b at electrics..
 im getting 9" neons put in, im getting a good deal on them thats why  i just had a look in the car, where is it possible to put in the front neons?? i cant actually find any really sturdy spots  would it be okay to zip tie two neons onto the back of the front seats? (theres a metal rod that runs accross the back of them), can i also get into the middle panelling to tuck the rear neons wires into? (so with the middle armrest?)

9 inches are fine shadow, thats what I'm using.
2 screwed in under the seats, into the carpet (there's a bulge) the other two are under the dash. Each one is zip tied on one end to a bunch of wires, and zip tied/sticke'ed on the other end with one of those wall wire ties. |

do you have any pics of your neons installed? if theyre zip tied onto wires, do they move around when you drive?

Nope, really tight zip job- and the other end is stable so the neon bar wants to stay where it is- and the zip ties don't do anything

i just had a look under, the passenger side, do you think its possible to zip tie the neons onto the holes where the hinges for the glovebox are? theres like some holes, not direct holes but zip ties go through, im thinking of putting the passenger one there, would this work?

Hmm, I don't know- isn't that a little high up? The way I have it now is awesome perfect- it's flush with the bottom of the side.
There's a clear plastic box to the left of the underside there- thats there I stuck it on, and the bundle of wires to the right is what I ziptied it to- this way it shines back towards the passengers legs too- while still being hidden. |

I'm pretty sure that...
- white with black stripe = negative (earth) - grey = positive (live) |

What's a good size neon for under the dash? I just bought two green 6 inch OPTX tubes but i think I want bigger so I may take them back.

hey yah, I used 9 inch neons. Akimbo, here's a link to the neon part of my cardomain- it's got mount points and everything. Coomer's gonna try and fit 10 inchers down there.

Akimbo, they fit BEAUTIFUL- are concealed, and FLUSH with the dash. So they're concealed and they lit up the entire footwell. ALSO, I've never had a problem with anyone hitten them with their foot!
