not to be an ass, or sound like a dick, but it's not too unique, a lot of people have done it.... but it is a very sick mod... and will probly never be played out.
Anyways, someone will give you a detailed step-by-step shortly... but the only wire tapping you are going to have to do is cut into the wires from each neon tube and run it to the switch, then run a wire from the switch to the battery... pretty much it..... it's not too hard to hide wires, depends on where you put your switch... I have my switch on the inside fuse box cover, very discrete and easy to run wire to.... someone will give u a better description soon.

yeah the whole neons in the inside is pretty common. i had lights all throughout my car until i had a little mishap and ripped it all out.some how one of my wires that had power to it touched a ground and cought on fire now i have a big ass whole in the drivers seat and no more lights. i will be getting more put in just gonna go and pay someone to do it, ill feel more comfortable that way.so once again if your gonna do it yoursalf make sure eveything is good and nothing is exposed.

when I say "it will never get played out" I mean it will never get old, it will never turn bad..... It's a good thing... I should have explained my ebonics first, sorry
Okay, i'll try to describe the wiring real quick.
First, find out how many neons you want. one under each seat, (I have mine attached to the front horizontal post, not sitting on the floor) and one under each side of the dash.
You may want more. The cool thing about neons is that they require almost no amperage to run. You will need a DC/AC converter, however. I recommend you mount that under the dash, away from the stereo (it can introduce noise into the stereo)
So install the lights where you want them. Be careful about where your feet go, they do break.
Now you have lights in your car, and need to start the wiring. Pull the fuse panel off, and drop the lower part of the dash ( i think 8mm bolts). you should have a few AC/DC converters. Take the recieving ends (not the ones that go into the lights) and cut the stupid cigarette lighter part off. Note which wire is +, and -. you will need this.
attach all the + together, and all the - together. using a butt splice, attach each end to another wire, and then on the - side crimp on a ring terminal (lug) of a good size for a ground bolt. I used a ground bolt on the metal ring outside the fuse box. The positive wire i tapped into the "dimmer switch" so that i can control the lights with my other lights. You want to use a switch, so you may want to use a male spade terminal and just "plug it in" to a port that is hot when the car is on, and off when the car is off. In this line, attach a switch, so you also have manual control. Mount the switch in a discreet location if you want.
Now you have switched power, on an ignition switch, coming to your converters. Just plug the terminals that come with the neons into the converters, and conceal all the wiring (in a safe manner).

I'm sorry that I find your confusion funny, butwhen I say "it will never get played out" I mean it will never get old, it will never turn bad..... It's a good thing... I should have explained my ebonics first, sorry![]()
im not confused dawg... it's just my lingo, the way I talk... I say played out as in out of style..
Go to an auto part store and grab a blue bulb that goes in your dome light. That's what I did.
