Hooking the neons up to the radio is simple. Use a relay and use the Remote Wire output to trigger it (Pin 85 to ground, pin 86 to remote wire, pin 30 to 12vdc, Pin 87 (+) out to neon transformer)

Hooking the neons up so the blink like LEDs is a bad idea. LEDs draw very little current that can be considered insignificant. Neons, also, draw very little current, however they do draw a significant current. Adding a relay to the mix will only add to the load, and your battery will be dead before you know it.
