    neon lights

    Hey yall! Just to liven up my interior a lil bit i bought a neon 10" light to install in my 93 LX 2dr, but i wanna hook 4 10" tubes to my seats the front and back and hook them all up to a single switch. They are the pulse kind that go with the music and they're pretty sick so i like em. I just need to know of asetup that can allow me to do this especially places to tap into 12V instead of plugginf the neon tubes directly into the cigarette lighter which looks like crap to me. Just need a little input th8nx.

    You can run a wire from the battery through the front of the door (doorjam) and into the car. Splice the neon wires and hook it all up to the switch. Tuck it all up underneath the passenger side of the dash. I did this with my '89.


    generic short-ram
    generic strut tower bar
    hid bulbs all around
    amber bumper + clear corners (soon to be amber)

      Running wires through the jam is always a bad idea. I have them running through the door for my PFM's and I don't like it at all.

      There's a plug in the passenger side footwell you can open up for access to run wires from the bay into the car if you need to.

      Running directly to the battery is a bad idea for things like that. I know most people do that for a system (myself included) but system wiring is generally fused.

      I actually tapped my radio power wire for my neon tubes, which make things a lot easier as there's no wiring to run through the firewall.

            you should use the same neons they use in computers, cold cathodes. you can get them off of ebay for probably cheaper, they run cold, and you can tap your cigarette lighter power to power the cathodes, since they need 12volts from a computer, and a cigarette lighter puts out the same. no need to run any wires from the engine to inside of the car.

                do you want new seats, because you could just pick like a central theme like red/black or something for the interior and you can just reupholster them in the colors you want. that is what i am thinking of doing and having it leather instead of my cloth but i dont have the money now
