hooking up neons and extra goodies

hey people,

I'm wanting to hook up a few accent lights in my interior, I'm not sure what is the best way to go about this.  I was thinking of adding a relay?  but not sure what to do .

I've had a few guys say make the line seperate from any existing fused line in the car.

what are ur thoughts?

ah..well, its all up to you really.  depends how much neons you plan to dress up the auto with.  if a couple, you dont need much or a big fuse...but i would probably do a seperate line with your own switch/relay configuration.. cause i hate thos damn cigarette plugs sticking out all over the place in ppls cars 

there has a couple posts in here about wiring a relay to turn on the neons when the car is on, when the remote start is engaged, and when the door is open.  many posibilities with relays...many.

let us know what you would like and we all can think of someway for you to wire it in nicely.

(or you could always use the old fashion way of a ON/OFF switch, but its more fun when playing with relays AND an ON/OFF switch...)

well,

Originally I had planned on fusing an on off switch on a seperate line.  Then I experieced how bright the neon was, and though i want to be able to have this new line to be dimmed if need be.

I do want something basic, easy to wire.

I do have another question, this i will be doing before my neon project, it's a MUST because its in the G/f's car (I'll be DEAD if i can't fix it)

A few weeks ago I installed a blue neon shift knob as she requested.  What I did was cut the cig plug off and wire it directly into the cig lighter wires.  She drives a 2001 ford Zx2, and in her car the cig socket goes dead when u turn the car off.  I figured that the neon shoudn't put a lot of draw on the existing circuit.

WEll, the neon must be annoying at times so i guess she wants a switch thrown in like an ON/OFF, BUT I was hoping u guys could help me finding a way to not use one of those AUX switches u can buy for automotive use.  She wants the switch out of sight and I have suggested trying ot hide the big rectangular switch but she doesn't have any good place to hide it.   Lets say she is VERY particular toward her car. 

Anyone know what can help me out?  Maybe I was thinking, knocking down the current before it goes through the switch; and getting like a smaller  rated switch? 

I know most AUX switched are 12volt and 15amp, how about I through in a large resistance network or something (can u tell i haven't thought this through?) to lessen the current going through the switch?

LOL just realized if i used a resistor network, then the voltage would be messed up too!

lol

HELP

my brain is too tired!

Thanks
