i went out and bought a 3 pronged switch , and an inline 30amp fuse, now, i cut off my cigerrete adapter and thought that all i have 2 do is put the positives by the fuse and then make it touch the positive battery terminal, well not all that simply but well yeh im wonderin if someone can help guide me thru what it is that i have to do actually, like wht wires i need, and stuff like that cuz i wanna hardwire all my neons to a permanent power souce that i can turn on and off with the switch. i read the diy's on the net, but im still losin it on the simple parts the major stuf im gettin its just the details that i guess are hard to understand, i thin kmy problem is wiring, gee this is prob all choppy, but pls help me if yall can thx...

Well you can just run a fused power wire from the battery to ur switch then to the neons and ground the neons, should work fine.

all u need is a switch, neons and a wire... whcih u all have... find a ground for each individual neon and then run positives for all the neons to one wire... that goes on one side of the switch... the other side of the switch either goes to a positive source (battery) or can go to a switched source which only works w/ the key turned to on position... if u wish to do this... u need a meter and need to find a source under ur dash... i would just tap the fuse box... if u want constant power to thw switch so u can turn the neons on and off w/ the car on then u need to run the wire to ur battery through the firewall.. but there are constant sources under ur dash also like ignition wires etc... make sure ur grounds are clean on the neons and secure... i will actually redo mine this summer to hide them more... but here is a general idea...

I Connected all of mine up to the interior courtsy lights and they only come on when the doors are opened or when i turn on the lights from the dimmer switch. easy to do. just need a volt meter to find the pos lead to the interior lights and splice the pos from the neons to it and so on with the negative. works great if thats the look your looking for.
