This is my first post on this board and I have been reading alot about relays and how benifitial they are to the 12Volt world.

The question i have is where in the circuit would i put a relay to control the neon lights? And how would i wire up the relay? I have main power running into the car and 6 different switches controling different lights.

How do you want to co0ntrol them.  With the switchs that you already have or with your alarm?  Brian

They will be controlled by a main switch.

Well if you want one main switch to turn all of them on all you need to do is to use a relay.  Run 12 volts to your main switch and then to pin 85 on the relay.  Then run a wire from pin 86 to ground.  Then take the 12 volt feed that feeds all the lights now and put it on pinn 87.  Finally run the + wires from the lights to pin 30.(or you can run them all together and attach them to a larger wire( that can handle the current of all the lights).  Let us know how it works out.  Brian
