Im looking to install some neons in my car.  Heres what i want to do.  I will have an underbody kit controlled by one switch on the dash.  Another switch will control the interior lights.  Im going to have a neon under the dash, possibly under the seats, the trunk, and possibly other places like the air vents.  So i will have like 4 to 6 neon tubes in the car i want to control with one switch.  Do any companies make 'distribution block' type things that allow you to hook up multiple neon tubes to one power source?  Or can i hook this many tubes up to the switch?  If you hook that many up to the switch, i think there will be a TON of wires connected, and if you solder them, if you ever want to remove one, it would be dificult.  It seems like if you could hook them into some sort of power distribution thing it would be easier, then hook up that power block to the switch?  Anyone who has hooked up multiple tubes on one switch, let me know how you did it.  Or if you have any other ideas, id appriciate input.  Thanks

you can get a terminal block such as this , that will clean up the wiring a bit

i did it, but i decided to make my life as simple as possible and use a cig lighter dist block. it has a block with four plugs, and plugs into the car's lighter socket with a long cord. i just cut the plug off and wired it straight to my switch circuit.

then, if a neon goes bad, i just take apart the dash (buried the block) and unplug the light. the replacement then simply plugs right in.

i also did away with the interior switch... instead, i hooked it to my alarm's 3rd channel using the latching relay setup posted on this site. now i just hit the star button on my clifford remote to turn them on, then again to turn them off.
