Ground the BLACK wire of the neon and get a switch and attach one side of the switch to the RED wire of the neon and the other side of the switch goes to the PARKING LIGHT wire of the vehicle. This is the easy way. If you want to isolate the neon from the parking lights, you have to use a SPDT relay & the switch.

to use a relay i would ground one side of the switch, run the other to the relay (terminal 85 or 86), then hook the other coil terminal (85 or 86, the other one) to terminal 30 and both to a good fused 12V source, then ground the ground wire of the neons (probably black) and hook the positive side (red...?) to terminal 87 of the relay.
