Interior Lighting Q
Hey,
Just got my BOOMing sound system installed last week, loving how it sounds. It's got me hooked on doing a few interior things to my car, I've been looking around, and I decide to go with the neon, mounted under the dash of both seats. I've looked at Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire. They both have the type of neon you plug into your cigarette lighter. I'm looking to hook it up to a switch that I’ll install by the "E-Brake." My question is, "Where can I find a Neon Install Kit, with everything I’ll need to hook the neon up under my dash, and run it to a switch located by the E-Brake?" Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks -Bill |

Check out my ride on yarisowners or cardomain, I did the exact same install (think I did a how too but not sure now).
Bought my neons at princess auto, they were way cheaper than anywhere else. They were the plug in type as well but I removed the plug and wired them direct to a switch under the e-brake. Only thing to make sure is it seems neons will only run when wired in one direction (+pos & -neg). I also dont really recommend a setup youll need shades at night to be in the car. just my opinion. |

You can use cold cathodes too. Just look on ebay, computer geeks use them to light up their computers.
They are bright, and DIRT cheap too. |

again, look at the pics I posted on yarisowners on neons, exactly what your suggesting without all the bullsh*t; theyre cheap, easy to install and draw negligable amounts of current.
