Neons, i kno its rice but.....

[SpeedRacer]

Hey, was given a set of green neons for my birthday by my little brother, so I thought it would be nice to install them.

I've chosen to put them under the dash so they glow on your feet. They are very bright and im sure they can bee seen outside. My delema is wether to hook them up and have them going when the key is on, Have them only when the lights are on, or hook them up to the door switches and have the left one go one when the left door is opened and the right for the right door etc.

So... tell me what you think....

i just put some in mine under my feet,bit of a home job but it was all good . i connected them up to the +12v wire on the ciggi lighter,then i ran a switch for them so i can have them on when ever i want,but they wont stay on when the key is of-good so ur batt dnt go flat

[SpeedRacer]

cheers for the info, thought of hookin up 2 the door switches would be cool so wen the doors open, the neons come on and light up the whole foot space but it would be bigger job than just havn them on constantly.

anyone got any other ideas of how to hook these up in an interesting way so its not just rice?

[pervert]

Do it with the door switches, it's piss easy to do...

[fx gt]

do it what ever way you want,dont give a shit about what others think. its not hugley rice,i think they look good near the feet

isnt that the point of a forum? to find out what others think and decide then on whether its a good idea based on the opinion of others who have been there already?

i used to have blue ones up under the footwells too.
looked pretty good.
had them hooked up to the headlight feed so they came on with the lights

[SpeedRacer]

[FXGT]

Doors are alright. But its not like you have you're doors opened much... so you won't get to 'show them off' alot...

I had some under the dash too...

Teh art of sarcasm issimply lost on some people World = Stupid.


But anyway Do you know how to wire them in using the door triggers??

[SpeedRacer]

I'm sure I can figure it out, unless you wanna save me some hrs of pain


....please carry on

[Alex B]

Find the trigger wire for the curticy light, mine is found going up the drivers side a piller, i think its black with a white stripe, the wire is a positive until such time as the door is opened when it turns into a negitive, tap a line off that wire and run it and the neons to a relay...do you know how to use a relay?? If not, i cant remember the numbering for a relay, its 38 something something somthing Youl find all the info on using a relay on google.

[SpeedRacer]

awesome, cheers dude!

what does the relay do?

[Alex B]

a relay is basicly a switch.
